You Can Trust Your Car To the Man Who Wears the Star



Another vintage gas pump. I used to love Texaco because they often gave toys away as promotional items. When I was in the 6th grade, I got a doll that I really wanted just because my dad filled up his tank. Businesses knew how to treat their customers back in those days. Someone was always giving something away for free and we kids LOVED that!



Texaco also offered a really cool truck that small kids could actually sit on and ride. The fact that it was sturdy enough to actually sit on and ride made it very appealing to me. That one wasn't a freebie. It cost $5 WITH a fill-up. Bernie used the money that our grandpa gave to him for Christmas that year to get one. If you weren't around in those days, that won't sound like anything special at all to you but to 60's baby boomers, it was way awesome.
