am I missing something?

No pics! :oops:

You guys are brutal.

Dave, I posted this awhile back, pretty cool IMO.

No Pics, no content, open ended statement not tied to any prior discussion, and I say Derp. ( Google it /urban dictionary) I appreciate the contribution to the site though (such as it is ) newbie is as newbie do. hoping to inspire "Dave" to expand his "thought".

Sorry about the post with no pics. I had to reduce the file size. I did appreciate the responses though. Funny stuff. These are my original favorites that I own. 

Dave,

Welcome to the site. :happydrinkers:  Those are two nice machines that you have there.  I also like the "EAT" neon sign as well as that Stoner candy machine that I can see an edge of.  You will find this site and its members to be most helpful and quite often a bunch of smart alecs!  :biggrin: 8) :laugh:

 :drinking: Tim :drinking:

D'oh!   .... I guess I am too late?   Welcome to the site Dave.

I have a favorite smart aleck reply I'd like to add, even though you've now added those pics of a couple of sweet machines:

Thanks Tim....... I will post some more pics of my other "toys".
As far as the sarcasm, I have a great sense of humor.
 I have too, I've been a cop for over 15 years now.  :)

That Milk Machine looks really familiar.  Looks great!

Thanks again Marvin. It had to come back to Missouri.
Especially with the property of MU sticker on the back and 1950'S MU milk cartons in the display topper.

Your lucky Dave, It almost went to Arkansas one night. If I didnt have a trailer load of junk and as late as it was it would have been gone!!!

Great Machine!

Joey

Yes, welcome to the site & thanks for putting up with the "jabs"... :tounge:    I also like the bunny.

Would love to have both of those machines in my collection...welcome to the site!  Looks like you have quite a collection there, got anymore photos?

Thanks Tkaz....yes I do have more photos to bore you guys with. I may be a "newbie" to this discussion board, but I'm a "veteran" when it comes to nostalgic antiques. I've been collecting for years.
Here's a pic of my restored vendo 39. This machine sat in the Pleasant Hill, MO post office its whole life.

All you need now Dave is a Donut Vending machine to go next to the Milk Machine!! :biggrin:

Sorry I'm a nozzlehead Firefighter had to get my hits in early.  

Two very nice machines!

Welcome to the Site.

Thanks slap shot, I never met a "hose dragger" I didn't like.  This cop gets his donuts at the LAMARS down the street. 

Hot Rod garage....

Wow! So I can see at least one tri-five Chevy, can't pick out what the red one is...That speed shop sign is killer, lots of good stuff going on there!

Sinclair anything is cool. Any sign with a Dino on it, I'm a sucker for. Dave, that is a cave of wonders.

Corner of hot rod garage

Yeah Tkaz, I've got two 55' Chevys. Both big blocks with nitrous.

B-A-N-A-N-A-S

Dave, you ever want to adopt a son, I can push my dad down a flight of stairs and be your man.

Black 55'

Red 55'

Tkaz,
Here is a shot of the 468 BBC in the black 55'

Couple more nice original machines of mine. Pepsi 33 3D and Ideal 55 slider

OK, you are killing me with jealousy now! Great juxtaposition with the 'slow school zone' sign in front of the car, I know that thing doesn't want to go 25...

The 468 sure makes good use of the oversized '55 engine bay, that thing looks great in there.  What's it run in the quarter?  

10 sec flat Tkaz....
I told you I could bore you with pics of my "toys". Just say "uncle" and I will stop.

welcome to the site... WHAT TOOK YA SO LONG?! lol

Nice set up you got there!

 :happydrinkers:

That Vendo milk machine looks awesome.

Thanks Matt,
Fellow member Marvin from down in Tennessee was kind enough to sell it back to this Missouri boy.
The machine was destined to come back here, because it sat at the university of Missouri in the 1950's.
It still has the property of MU stickers on it ,along with the original 1950's MU display cartons in the display topper.
By the way, Marvin and his collection were super cool. Southern hospitality at its finest. He made me and my dad feel right at home.

As a Mizzou grad myself, gotta love the milk cartons in the topper.  I have to think those are the only ones of those still in existance.  My garage looks a lot like yours, with the exception of the cool cars and the great signs.  Do have a hot minivan in there, the wife is still a bit iffy on adding the nitrous to it though.  :laugh:     Awesome stuff, glad to have you on the board.

I love the  crossing guard sign in front of a car 10 second car.  Very cool. Is that a Wayne gas pump model 60?  That is my favorite pump.  Great pics.

Also like the Seeburg C

Very Very Nice, you do all your own restorations?

Bcharlton,
Yes that is a Wayne 60 wide body. Thanks Dave

Blind1968,
 I like nice original machines. The couple of machines I have  had restored, I do the tear down, and reassembly. The Vendo 39 was restored by a friend who owns "Gas from the Past" in Pleasant Hill, MO.

Thanks Dave,

I own both a wide body and a slim Wayne 60.  I like the wide body better.

BC

Bcharlton,
I like the wide body Wayne 60's better too.
Most "gas and oil guys" would disagree though, they prefer the narrow body Wayne 60's.
I also have a Wayne 70 that is all PORCELAIN. Super rare. Most gas and oil guys have never even seen one.
Flying A did just a few before deciding it wasn't real cost effective. I'll post a pic later.

My all time favorite pump, before and after.  1927 Erie clockface.   My very first and probably my best restoration.

That is an awesome pump. Love the pollys theme.

Very Nice!!
