I have a bit of age on me too but it doesn't bother me, "at least you made it this far" as my daddy says.
I have a Tiger tail too, use it with My Geeto Tiger GTO, have the Grrrr front plate too. I remember the Union 76 horseshoes, those fluorescent red and green tubes with the silver tape spiral stripes, Big Boy?, the orange styrofoam antenna toppers, Texaco Tankers (I had one, it sunk and was lost). My wife's dad owned a Sunoco station, got tons of Norman Rockwell Collector plates in the boxes, wish I had the Eagle Stamps.
When I pumped gas all the stamps people didn't take were mine, I did good, at a buck an hour you did all you could.
I have to find some of those big stick-on fluorescent flowers for the Vista, found a nice happy face button down in the seat.
