@emmyismith Oh, and by the way, unleaded gas was not an option at the pumps in the 1950's.
Most gas stations were full service until the late 1960's. There was huge lobby against self serve. The idiots in New Jersey still object to self serve.
@RealJamesWoods He had a house in Woodstock, CT. Kinda near where I live. My nephew worked at a local coffee shop. Brian was always pleasant with the staff when he dropped in.

@lady_valor_07 Late 1970's early 1980's. Early 70's would likely have a rotary dial opposed to touch tone. The push button generally required an update to the wiring from a 4 prong connector to rj11 jacks. Most families in the 60's and 70's couldn't afford the update. Pricing reduced in the 80s
