This was by far the largest Dixie Gas show so far. As always I had a great time visiting with friends and adding to my collection.

I bought one of the hog signs and on the way back to buy different one I became distracted by the neatest fire call box I have seen. I did not get another hog sign but I have a call box. Money can go very fast when you are in a candy store.

I have not seen this Texaco sign before. Made by Allen Morrison Sign Co. in the city I live in , Lynchburg Va., in 1974. I may find one someday in better condition now that I know it is around.

I normally do not add many pictures of people to my posts but it is the people that make the shows and the hobby so much fun and they are the most important part of the hobby. Chip and his family have taken a gas pump door and written the names of many of the people in the hobby who have passed away in the hopes of keeping their memories alive in all of us. I know it has for me. Thanks for a great show.

Thanks for posting the pictures, I appreciate your taking the time to do so. Kind of surprised that, other than the trailer load of pumps brought by Tom, the number of pumps for sale was small and that there were no clock face or other more unusual pumps.

There was clearly more signs at this show then other items but I saw quite a few gas pumps. I had five available, Tom had a large trailer full and there were many more around the fields. True nothing really unusual but still a good verity and selection.

Okay, I'll be the first to ask one of these questions...
Does anyone know who has the stuff with the black Chevy pick-up and black enclosed trailer? Displaying Osh Kosh, Goodrich, Exide and Good Year signs leaning against the trailer. Also has a Gulf, Cities Service, Oliver, White Star, Texaco and Firestone signs in the foreground.
If I had to guess the picture is about 2/3 the way down. To find it easy, it is right before a picture of a big yellow Economy Auto Stores sign.
Please send a PM if you prefer
Thank you, Steve B

Thanks for the pictures. This was the first Gas show I have been to and it was amazing I didn't know where to start. The location is beautiful. Steve if you ever get a chance to go just rent a cabin and go to the Pigeon Forge car show while you are there we made a week long trip out of it. Nice meeting you Tom Buckles. Thanks Dino

great pictures, i will 2nd Tom's comments... I was there and didnt see all this.
the show was huge... but one thing is for sure, you HAVE to get there early Thursday morning. I got there at about 4pm on Thursday and a good amount of vendors had closed up for the day and several others had already left. It was obvious that the 'meat' of the show was from 5am-11am on Thursday.
Chip & his father were great hosts, and the vendor appreciation dinner was excellent.
