The pumps are both bennett 541 with the 4 ad glass tops.. very cool pump, I got one last summer and restoring this spring for out front of the shop..

Is that something to light up the pumps or something like that?

I've no idea and really didn't notice as I was just too fascinated about seeing this old garage and its gas pumps. Title: Re: Road side find - cool old garage Post by: Seven181 on May 06, 2010, 09:01:39 pm Very Cool! I am surprised those are still there! I wonder if there is anything inside the garage???? A candy machine? Old Soda machine???

as far as the wire, yes originally these pumps were wired for lights, but looks like it was jimmy rigged , cause I'm not electrical inspector, but dont think that is up to code? :biggrin: Title: Re: Road side find - cool old garage Post by: smith on May 07, 2010, 11:06:20 am Chedki, what town in Utah is that garage.
