Back then the stations were full service. I remember pulling in to quite a few, and then they went into self serve. That followed the convenience store. You want it, you get it yourself.


JKB,

LOL! You are so right my friend.....and they call it convenient now! Remember the guy had that little water bottle in his pocket and actually washed your windshield??


I remember the whole ball of wax. Checking your oil, topping off fluids, washing windows.

The last station I went to that would actually man the pump and wash your windows was on Walker Ave. in GR on the West Side, it was a Citco. Mom and Dad lived a few blocks away. Station across the street was self serve and had a convenience store.

I thought it was really convenient to be the recipient of really good service.
