Wes you are right...it should be Type F transmission fluid which was used in Ford products built prior to 1977.

On my way to Florida yesterday and found this solid oil bottle rack and neat old Moog parts cabinet. I have been looking for a bottle rack like this since I finished my Tok 340 lubester so I can display a set of bottles beside it. Plan on restoring it to similar Deep Rock Air Race theme and do a set of bottles with the Air Race decals I got from DB. The Moog cabinet is really dirty but I think will clean up pretty good. Never seen one like it.....GB.

I like it when you post a loaded trailer of pumps Tom , you sure know how to find them , amazing to see there are some still to be found and that they can be saved and not scrapped ,as so many have been the last few years .Thanks for pictures. And everyone else's items look great as well .

It's not mint and it is faded, but I have been looking for one of these since I started collecting. This was the gasoline my company made back in the 30s and 40s. They sold out to Union Oil after WWII due to anti-trust laws. This was a Montana Gasoline Company. We primarily sold to Independent dealers, we didn't own any stations. I have an original globe...now I have to decide if I want to redo a pump or leave one rough with the pump plate....Now, to find a plate and globe with the Ethyl logo.....

I finally got this one home! I've been hearing about this sign for awhile. This is the worse side of the lighted, double sided 3'X 3' sign that was the for the Rainbow Gas station located across the street from Gonzaga University in Spokane Wa. I will be looking for pictures of it. It has a crack that was repaired long ago and 2 of the corners have a center crack. There are several areas that were touched up long ago also. I guess I'm on a lighted sign trend for the moment.
