My guess is that law dog standing there was on a mission where he would need the horse when he arrived at a long distance from the office. tom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in it one time where they kept records of orders. Looked like Damn near a million Index cards! Imagine, your business on Index cards! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that is 104-octane. I can close my eyes and remember that smell vividly. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can close my eyes and remember that smell vividly. It used to be popular for weekend drag racers to go to the airport and fill up on Aviation Gas for the higher octane. As I'm sure you are well aware of! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 For a short time one of our stations had one pump that had high octane fuel we intended for boat motors. I don’t remember the octane rating. A lot if it went straight into cars. This was about 69-70. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an old 46 Chrysler New Yorker long ago. Every once in a while the breather pipe would plug and it would blow out all the oil. So I bought cheap "re-refined oil" in two gallon cans and kept one in the trunk for the next time. Car lasted a long time but threw up the crankcase once in a while.............. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car lasted a long time but threw up the crankcase once in a while.............. Dad used to get Dixie Lube oil to run in our lawn mower (and I think in his Old Ford). It was "made from previously used motor oil", and came in "seepy" cardboard cans. I was surprised by this example which shows it being made after ZIP and bar codes were introduced. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-dixie-lube-motor-oil-unopened-1544325456 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
