Had a great trip down through Washington and into Salem Oregon. Picked up a nice Bennett 543F, Toke 39 tall restored in Polly, Gilbarco 96 in a custom Navy bomber Sqadron paint scheme (with matching lubester), a restored Erie 700 and a beautiful Toke 36B. They came with a pile of globes and extra parts and I also got a Bennett DS Oil Can Rack Display restored in Mobil. Awesome trip and some great scores. Pictures to follow.

That would have been nice Bob! We were going to run up the I-5 but kept to the 84 and up through Spokane again because it saved so much time. I'm in Idaho right and have 6 hours left until I'm home and get unloaded. I'm sure there'll be other road trips including one down the coast so that next time we can meet up. I'd enjoy that.

Might be back soon Steve. There's a few more pumps I've located and a few more Bennetts I'm trying to secure. Loved the Shell pumps you had outside your cave and the Texaco sign on you're fence. Saw the old brick house the guy has wrapped in Oil and Gas just a couple streets south of you. Maybe we can hook up next time I'm down as I'd love to see the cave. Cheers!

Here's a few pictures from the latest road trip including a shot of my rig, and two bad characters cruising down I-84.

And here's a few of the pumps, lubester, and a Mobil oil display rack picked up on this trip. I have all the parts to put these pumps together including everything for the 36-B with a mint original top, and a spare. The boxes on the left are full of globe lenses and there's 2 more plastic tubs full of parts as well.

I had to snap that picture as I'm clean shaven for only the second time in 5 years. It was a fun little road trip Randy. Met a couple real nice people, saw some neat stuff, and bagged 1800 miles in 2-1/2 days. Time for a good sleep now.

Nice additions!

Looks like my garage, in that slowly all the cars are getting displaced. When I first built my shop I had 18 cars parked in it. Now I'm down to 10 cars and I have less floor space than I had before I moved the cars out.
