Quite the collection of old gas pumps. Lots of memories in that collection - S&H Green Stamps and Nehi soda are some names I haven't run across for quite some time. 31.9¢/gal. gas is more than I paid to fill my old VW bus as an undergrad at Utah State University in the late 1960's.

The next time I go visit my son in Santa Fe, I am going to go drive down Hwy 85!

Great job with these, with the Sepia tone they almost look like old postcards.

And this looks like a great place for me to do one of my YouTube videos.

Thanks for the comments Alan and the sharing the memories the photo brought back. I too share those memories. I remember in high school my brother ran all the gas out of our shared car and gave me 25 cent to put gas in the car; I think gas was about 10 cents per gallon.

These images were taken several years ago, so the site my be gone.
Thank you for your comments, appreciated! Yep they do look old postcards!
A YouTube video would be great as there is a lot more to the site then I showed in these images.
