I pumped gas in high school. Full service. Washed your windows, checked your oil. Gas was maybe 31 cents a gallon? I couldn't put $3 worth in a VW. I had metric. Used them on an old Austin Healy. Those limey cars were junk but they sure were fun. That old car would be worth 50k now. Sold it for $300 back in the day. Also had a '56 Nomad, a '58 Belair, Plymouth Fury, Corvair, and so many others I can't even remember them all. Worked on all of them. Greasy fingerprints everywhere. Drove my mom crazy. The mirror I bought from those ##@@@#%!!!!'s at Classic Industries (they think they're all that and a bag of chips) saw the chrome start to rust in a few weeks. Tried to shine it up with some wax but some of the tarnish remained because the chrome is el cheapo. Probably made in Sri Lanka or some such place on dirt floors where the people are barefoot and make 50 cents a day. Ahhh the good old days.... 1957 Chevy 3600 Dump Truck http://picasaweb.google.com/orchidskip/57Truck?authkey=Gv1sRgCM2V3tXv_Pc9# http://picasaweb.google.com/orchidskip/1965PontiacLemansConvertible# http://picasaweb.google.com/orchids...turesOfIt?authkey=Gv1sRgCOnm3vvVifW77QE# https://picasaweb.google.com/orchidskip/Streamline02?authkey=Gv1sRgCIqk5fmOjdKr_wE#
