There was a gas station in our neighborhood that had a secret gas pump in the back for special customers. If dad ran out of stamps he could pull around back and get gas. I am pretty sure it was against the law but people with money could get anything they wanted anyhow. This guy was just a nice guy to the local working class.
I like old trucks
