Vintage shots from days gone by!

I'd guess that 4 cents a gallon was a big deal back in those days.

 

That would be a 4 cent per gallon discount. Not 4 cent per gallon price.

 

Akron, OH. - 1965

 

@keef59 after enjoying your efforts for a year or so on this thread I have to wonder if you find all your stuff on the Web, or if you really have a million old family photos you are slowly digitizing for us, as you rarely post anything I have seen before, if ever?
Either way, thank you! And please know your effort is noticed.

 

Yes, and $.04 a gallon discount WAS a big deal. They were called gas wars, one station lowered their price, then the one across the street had to do the same.

 

I just saw this at a flea market yesterday. Did they actually have the year on there, or is that added?

 

Yes, the year and the model. No, I'm not a Buick expert but Google turns up quite a few

 

I just tried something.... I uninstalled the HAMB app and logged in thru my browser.... No more problems with photos!!!

So the problem is with the app, not my phone, not the way they are posted.

 

Jeez, all that for just hanging out your laundry???

 

Yes they had the year and series on them from the factory. That looks like a dandy piece!

 

To answer your question , yes , Buick indeed had the year emblazoned on the grille in 1956 ....

 

Yes, the year is printed on the grille.

 

Ya...The kid in the go-kart went that way !!...

 

Ya better come out kid .....We got you surrounded ..!!!

 

Why do they always hang the welcome banner on backwards? Who needs to see EMOCLEW when you drive into town? Gary

 

Great photo, Rootie!

Is that Paul Russo in the car?

 

Is that the lovely Linda Vaughan?
