Nice old-time image Mary! Back in the mid-fifities it was 25 cents a gallon in Colorado with full service (the attendent washed the windows, checked the tires, oil and raditor) and then he gave you a drinking glass to collect. I guess the big down side was the cars didn't have cup holders :0) I always carried an extra rotar for my 50' Ford. Every now and then the rotar would break when firing up the 100hp V8 and I'd have to open the hood and open the distributor cap and replace the rotar. Gosh how times have changed!! #5925522Bill Knaps May 15, 2008

Congratulations Mary, on this wonderful finalist. :O)Ellen L. Zaslaw August 26, 2008
Great scene Mary. I hate to see those stations disappear, just like the old drive-in movies.I remember also in the early seventies it was 25 cents a gallon for a while. At that time, I was living in London and it was over 2£ ($2.50). I guess it's all relative, but in the Netherlands, I am paying three times as much as in American. Count thy blessings. #6373519

Great shot! Love the effects. #6376128Murry Grigsby August 28, 2010
I'm guessing 25 cents a gallon and they checked your oil, washed you windshield and gave you a free drinking glass? :0) Talk about a blast form the past--well done Mary! I love all the details and your super post processing!!Robert Jensen August 30, 2010
