This has really been a fun thread. I graduated from high school in 1964. I worked at a PHillips 66 station in the summer between my junior and senior years. I made $35/week and saved my money to get my 40 Ford with a Chevy 265 running. I did that the day before school started. For some period back in those days, Esso sold what I think they called Esso Golden Extra. I think it was like 103 octane. I never had a car that needed it. Two other things I have not seen mentioned are Burma Shave signs and S&H and Goldbond trading stamps.
