I wouldn’t expect anyone else to care about Bud but he was almost a mythical figure to me…the gas station was called, “Bud’s Standard,” but he was already gone by the ‘60s when I was a little gear head. He got injured or something(?).

Gas stations in the 60's were a hub and men like Bud ruled. Anyone need an engine timing light, other assorted important tools from the the past? I got 'em and they are your for the asking.
I had "Jim's Garage" in my hood. He was my Dad's friend and I pumped gas for him in exchange for learning the basics. Things like timing, plugs, points, rotor, and cleaning the cap.

The lady has that fresh faced cuteness that I always found so attractive back in the day.
