No range anxiety, you just chop off a bit of chassis mid tour

Gosh jbk, my first graduate role was in the advertising and ‘visual merchandising’ department of a petrol company .
Metal blocks for newspaper/magazines and vinyl decals ( petrol pump grade & price stickers ) by the thousands . ……. After some years I was responsible for all visual aspects of their petrol forecourts and shops . These were happy youthful exuberant and excessive times for me and my Morgan was often photographed filling up !
MM
PS still an expert at applying vinyl but sadly from a financial or collecting point of view, never kept pump globes that I had to get manufactured !!
PPS The mention of Green Shield stamps and books still make me smile. We even trialed giving away a goldfish with every 4 gallons but that story is for another day…….

Mike, one of my early stencil cutting jobs was Green shield stamp 60x40 posters dayglow green and black garish things. Like you I worked on forecourt regalia mostly screen printing. Very impressed how vinyl has transformed into such a flexible material, the material (Fasson) way back would not go around curves. Interesting being around as service stations transformed into shops and the free gift era created a lot of print work.
I had an MG TF in those days.

MM
PS I have lots of photos and slides of forecourts in the 70s & early 80s including dayglo posters !
Instead of boring others I might just PM you some time . I worked also with Fina, Mobil, Total , Heron ,Century , Comma etc
Petrol still runs through my veins ….
