Because flouresent lights wern't used in comercial installations too much when the station was built ( 1937 ) one would expect to see 500 Watt lights used . I built one for each corner in scale of course . The floor jack actually will lift a car in scale. I can send plans to build the same . The tool in the back was used to break tires off the rim . Trust me , these things were sometimes a real pain in the back toi use too. Tires then had a real stiff side wall .

I'm about ready to cast the pumps , cross yer fingers ....... I will let ya'all know sometime next week . They will be models of the Bennett manufactured 555 seen regularly at Sinclair , and some Cities Service strations of the era.

Yes , not one but TWO Wyllis 's ! One , the Americar coupe ! I did it in period Chesepeak Blue , really a Blue Grey . Thanks to Flat head Gary , he really came through on the truck photos. The truck is done in Testors Black . Meanwhile the Ford Model A is under the tarp ready to race at the South Side Speed way. And once again mo to come !!!

Looking good Ed! Pops Texaco could use one of those tire breakers. Got any plans to build one laying around.
