When gas was cheap

gas.jpgThis weekend, I visited the Petersen Automotive Museum. (Not by choice; my Dad wanted to see it.) But it ended up being a really interesting museum, and told a great story of how cars shaped the culture and landscape of Los Angeles.

One thing that caught my eye was a display of old gas pumps.

First, it was interesting because the gas prices are so low! (Yes, that says 28 cents a gallon!)

Secondly, one of the pumps resembled the pumps spotted at an abdandoned gas station on Shamrock in Monrovia. Any one know anything about that abandoned station?
