ChevyLand ‘The Truck Photo Tour’

[Llay R. Rac]

It was a busy place back then.
The place was famous for "finding" that you needed a fan belt or radiator hose.
after the first time we were there, my dad made one of us kids jump out of the car as soon as we pulled up to the pump and watch the attendant when they were under the hood checking the oil.
I like the water bag on the ford wagon, i bet none of the cars in that picture has air conditioning.

You remember it well

Now there is no gas with miles
Funny as it sounds at that first abandoned gas station I posted at the top of the thread, there is a sign posted ‘if you need gas call 323-444——
Well a few years ago we were way out in the desert and weren’t going to have enough gas to get home. Yep, I was the dumb $hit that needed to call
A guy showed up in 10 minutes
How ya doing sir “would you like one gallon for 20 bucks or 2 gallons for 50 ?”
Hmm, how far to the nearest gas station
“Well I clocked it at 19 miles, the CHP says it is 21
I guess I’d better get $50 worth then
Thank you very much!!!
“Ok, most of the people’s yell at me”
Why would I yell at you?
I’m the dumb dumb here
You just helped me out

What really blows me away though
Is
It is an abandoned old town right on the freeway
But
Just 1 mile down the street
You
Can have a lakefront house

Heh, I have a cousin who stopped in a place like that in the '60s and went to the bathroom while the attendant was filling the car with gas. He came out to find the guy holding the air filter, pulled apart like an accordion, telling him he needed a new one. Bad move, as my cousin had just got back from Viet Nam (did I say that he was a Green Beret?). That filter ended up being free of charge. :nods:
