Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Showcase and Stories, Petroliana Let`s see your outdoor gas pumps

Almost half of my gas pump collection is outside because I only have a two car garage for my collection. Some of them should be inside. I took new pictures today and thought I would share. I am also hoping other members will share their outdoor pumps that are in any condition including parts pumps. I will post any pictures for anyone that would like me to do it for them. My email is in my profile. This is what I have outside, let`s see your outdoor pumps.

awesome display .. ...

Matt California weather allows that great use of the back and side yard. Can't do that up here. Wonderful array of pumps.

Matt, great collection and my kind of backyard! I only have a few outside because of our long snowy winters but here are a couple of mine that live outside.

Special angle for September 11.

Matt: Now that's what I all a "Field of Dreams."

Just as I was going to say, can't imagine what they would look like in Portland after a couple of years. Matt, yours look great.

Matt ,
I love your photos! I also have run out of inside room. I will have to take some photos soon and post. See you at Fred's

Rob

Matt, your collection just keeps on giving!!!
Les, that Amoco (5 gallon?) Pump is awesome and looks so KOOL with that sign!!! You already know it's one of my favorites!!!

Here is my outdoors pump. Wayne 70 restored in 1995.

It's a tall ten Wayne 515 Steve. Thanks for the compliment.

Thank you for sharing your outdoor pumps. I really like the different settings they are in.

Great pumps . Thanks for the pictures . I only have a few outdoor pumps but here they are . Peter

2 more

Here's a few of mine, hopefully the air meter counts, it is outside & is a pump. Lol chris

Nice display. I like the 54 (or maybe 55 first series)GMC.

55 1st series

Great pumps everyone. And yes, nice 5 window GMC.

.

Great thread idea Matt, you've got a fantastic collection of pumps!
Here are a couple pics of our outdoor pump island with my two Canadian Wayne 420 pumps which I restored a couple years ago now.
I did add some custom ad glass panels to the upper light hoods as I thought that empty area was just begging for some ad glass! Too bad Wayne never offered the ad glass option on these early '60's pumps. I also custom made the island light pole topped by a vintage Revere light fixture. Full disclosure here, I do bring the pumps & island light in during the winter months to keep them looking as new as possible. The big B/A sign stays out all year round of course





My favourite pic, when the lights come on at dusk the illuminated pump plates are also a custom touch I added.
Paul

Your pumps look great. The evening shot is awesome.

Day and night, a fantastic display Paul

Thank you for the kind words Gentlemen, much appreciated.
Paul

I agree, that pump island looks awesome at night Paul! Great job.

Thanks very much Brian, the whole island project was fun to create and makes for an enjoyable spot to admire the pumps day & night.
Paul

Thought I should update my previous pics since I've added a small addition to my outdoor pump island Decided to build a station office behind the island this Spring, I think it sets the pumps off much better and feels a bit more vintage so to speak. The office also allows for more room to expand my collection Night shots are the best!

Paul, You have created a fantastic outdoor display. It is like walking back in time to the days of my youth! The truck is like the cherry on top. Kuddos to your artistry and imagination in creating such a scene.

Paul, looks absolutely fabulous day or night. Doug

Very nice.

Thanks very much for the kind words guys, funny thing is, restoring my '62 GMC as a BA shop truck kind of stated all this collecting about 12yrs ago. My Dad was an internal auditor with The British American Oil Company back in the '50s & 60's, he stayed on with Gulf Canada after they took over BA fully in 1969. So collecting BA was a natural choice for me, I do have a bit of Gulf stuff as well. I'll post more complete pics of our setup in a new thread soon. Thanks gain for the positive comments guys, hope all is well with you Doug. Probably see you at a local swap meet soon, if you're down my way let me know and I'll give you the .50 cent tour of our station.
Paul

I have a whole junk yard of pumps outside but here is a couple.
Tom.

Man those BA pumps and displays are great. One of the best jobs I have seen doing the whole display.

Thanks very much for the compliments Craig, much appreciated. There's also a separate single bay garage associated with our setup. Will post more complete pics soon.

Tom, I'm surprised those pumps aren't missing some parts. Neat pic, really like it with the truck.

Cool pumps and truck in that pic Tom.

I bought the Diamond T for yard art, just to spruce up the junk yard.
Tom.

Kinda new to this but here's a few

Well my outdoor pumps are kind of cramped but thought I would share several pictures anyway. Included is my pump junkyard.

Rob

A few more pictures

wow Rob , You are loading up the Ranch. You have a great collection their. Looks Great.

I forgot to put my front porch pump in this thread. It has a timer in it so it lights up when it gets dark.

Thanks Gene! Yes my ranch should and might be renamed Gas Pump Ranch Lol!!!

Matt , I really enjoy all your pumps as always! Thanks for posting pictures of your great pumps!
