When you could fill up the tank for 30 cents a gallon

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, October 16, 2013

CLICK ON PHOTO TO ENLARGE

Judging from the three vehicles at the pumps, we'd say this photo is from 1959. These look like a 1958 Corvair convertible, a 1958 Oldsmobile and a 1959 Mercury.

We can't read the price of gas on the pump, but it was probably 30 cents a gallon. This classic Ada "filling station" photo is part of Ada Public Library collection.

Icon viewers comments are welcome.

Even so, the brothers claim: “We’ve never worked a day in our lives,” as they take their business seriously, but truly enjoy what they do. “And, we meet a lot of interesting people,” they add.
