    GPR, I enjoyed this video. For years I’ve jokingly rationalized I like patina because that’s what I can afford. It’s true but I prefer originality in my cars, my advertising, and my wonderful wife. Keep up the good work. Next time your near Kansas City I’d be happy to show you my set up. Happy Trails TR

    You did a great job cleaning up this gas pump.
    @ 7:48, I noticed the price for a gallon of gas was 24 cents, which seems like a bargain. I went on Inflation Calculator and 24 cents in 1930 is equal to $4.52 in 2024 due to inflation. It wasn't a bargain after all, as the current price for a gallon of gas here in Florida is around $3.
