Must go through a lot of Dockers.
Nice to see those again. Fond memories. I remember them checking your oil and cleaning your windshield, without even asking. Maybe even topping off your fluids some. Air in the tires. I've seen some commercials where they come out in white uniforms. I don't remember that, Carmine.
Yes, that is so cool. Thought something like that was long gone, Carmine.There is a Shell station in Bend Oregon that still has the guys in white uniforms and the little pointed hats that run to you when you drive in kinda cool reminds you of the late 50s and early 60s
You look closely at those video's and see things that bring back fond memories of perhaps a better time; certainly different. I see a Grand Union grocery store and remember them well. All gone with the A&P stores. Sad. It is nice to see those old cars in motion just like they were. Gas station attendants couldn't do enough for you. Very clean. It's been said that all change is not necessarily good, because all movement is not always forward. Hmmm............., Carmine.
It sure looked like a happier time. It was a little before my time sadly but I got to see the 70's as a kid anyway.
I don't know why but I always liked the looks of those old grocery stores! (and the PRICES!!!) And back then a penny difference was a catastrophe! Today gas jumps up .15 cents at a time but back then customers would go elsewhere if a place raised a penny. lol

Yes Bob, it was a happier time. I grew up during the late 50's. No rush. A slower pace of life. Certainly a more family oriented era. I wouldn't mind returning to those times just for a visit. Recharge my batteries, Carmine.
