Roll 19717311, cont.: Riverside (1971-73)
Melanie refuels an old VW beetle (our ride at the time). No filler tube, you just poured directly into the tank. Self-serve was a brand new thing; up till this point, all pumping was done by service station attendants.
VWs of this vintage amusingly lacked fuel gauges. When the gas ran out, you flipped a lever on the floor that switched to an extra gallon so that you could get to a gas station.
Set One.
Set Two: Four bucks for just seven gallons of gas?! (Remember that $4 then was the same as $40 now. This must have been during the Arab oil embargo in 1973.)
