Looking for info on what was the original message on gilbarco sel a vision gas pump —

A guy I know had this on his, and if I remember correctly, according to him, it was what was originally on the Texaco versions. Again my memory fades me, but I think this was an original stock banner on his.

“You can trust your car to the man who wears the star.”

Hope this helps.

(Sorry for the tightly cropped pics)

...the ones I've seen had messages where the letters were just closely-spaced holes punched into an opaque 'ribbon'...

That is only way I have seen them as well.

Here is a picture of an NOS one that was on ebay years ago.

The original literature I have on them shows the punched tape. I’ve never seen that Texaco pump before and have been in on several discussions on these over the years. It might be a legit variation, who knows?

No, I’m sure you guys are right. I’m just going off of my memory, so I’m probably wrong

I remember him saying everything on top was original. Maybe he just meant the mechanics.

One of these days I’ll get back out to his place and see if I can confirm.

Thanks for clarifying guys,
Steve

Thanks for the input — reason iam asking the person that’s makeing me the ribbon — told me I could put what ever I wanted
