Real "Service" stations.
Where someone pumped your gas, checked your oil and transmission fluid.
Cleaned your windows...
Gave you directions you could understand, and actually use!
Fill or fix your bike tires for free.

There was a "Service Station" on near every corner when I was a kid/youngster.
As much as we all loved cars and worked on our own (slipping down to the station that friends worked evenings and using the lift....) I always thought I would end up working in one as a mechanic.

I can remember.........when all of this was just farmland.

When everything at the grocery store had a price tag and the cashier typed in the price manually.

I remember when car maintenance meant packing your own wheel bearings and adjusting dwell on the points. Oh and scrapping inside the distributor cap.
I also remember party lines and using phone booths
I remember buying a used 6 GTO for $750.00
