Ok, here we go again, more road stuff. I was out cruising this morning and spotted this warehouse type building and I thought I saw some old stuff through the windows.
As I stopped and peeked into the windows, guess what I found, this place was packed full of old gas pumps. I thought the petroliana collectors would get a kick out of this. There was nobody around so I had to shoot the pics through the windows, hence the photo quality.

Wow, is that a pink petro pump I see? Pink and yellow...Perhaps the pink what a post-market whimsy.
I am no expert on gas pumps, but I think the pink pump started life out as a red pump, and is sun faded.
You're probably right, packrat. Thanks! If you're still traveling, wish you a safe trip.
Thank you very much, my friend, and yes, the sage will continue.

Thank you very much musikchoo
If anybody wants to know what town it is in, send me an email and I will be glad to share it with you. My email is in my "about me" section.
I was gonna guess Nevada simply based on the Richfield sign in the back of pic 1 and 4. Thanks packrat!
My pleasure Signaholic
