Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion film footage of old gas station commercials

Hello, I am just wondering if anyone on this page knows of or has access to any old gasoline commercials maybe showing a car getting the full service treatment while the gas is being gassed up? I thought it might go with with the display on early gas stations I am working on to help the kid understand how it was back then. Any leads appreciated. Utahbob

I like the "theme song", so I added this video also;

There are hundreds of old Texaco commercials on iTunes posted by Duke University. However, I think the oldest one is from the 50's. I'll post a link when I get home.
