In addition to classic cars, Gasoline Alley at Heritage Park also has a large number of old gasoline pumps and gauges on display. The elegant pump stations and rotary dials volume dials are a fascinating look into our past. Such time and care was put into making each pump unique and as beautiful as possible – something that just doesn’t happen these days. I’d love to see the gallons (or liters here in Canada) rack up on a rotary dial each time I fill up – ahhh, the good old days.
What a cool idea Heath, I really love the details!
You are so right about the construction of things from the past, and these gauges are a clear indicator of that. It is the small details I miss most. Cars with sleek curves, the little details on these gauges, and stuff that did not come with a planned obsolescence date. Good stuff today, Heath!
You can really see the workmanship here Heath. Love the details.
Love these things. IMHO would make a fine addition to some steam-punk contraption 🙂
Nice throw back to the old days. Who needs digital crap. 🙂
Nice crop. I dig it!
Digging the framing Heath!
Great detail, Heath! I so prefer these analog gauges to digital.
Nice framing and colors.
