Seeing Red -- Grandpa paid a nickel

[Walter C]

...for a gallon of gasoline

[Walter C]

...and, by the time my Dad had a car the price had jumped to 12 1/2 cents!

...then Coca Cola got into the act shortly after I bought my first car (a well-used '49 Studebaker). :-)

I know, I know. Two photos per post is the limit, but I thought these 3 had to go together.

Indeed they do. Nostalgic capture of reds!

Apparently, you haven't read the forum guidelines lately. In April 2010, the rules were made more liberal. The limit now is 3 photos per posting and 3 posting per day. You might want to take another look and see what else changed.

Walter is not alone...I haven't read the forum guidelines in a very long time and was under the same assumptions. Will go back and read it again! Maybe you've added a prize or something!!!

Walter,
Where are you getting these nostalgic shots? You must be travelling all over.
Liked them all.
Aloha

Selvin, when traveling I often stop at roadside antique stores. Some are like museums. Others make it seem like time stood still. Fun.

Your last shot shows 32.9 cents a gallon on the pump. I can remember paying that for gas back when I use to street race.
