Service Station Sticker
 

I’ve always loved to see these old vintage Service Station Stickers still on an automobile.
They add more history to a car.

They are usually affixed on the LH door jam to easily view when the car was last serviced typically showing date, type of oil used, etc.
Some cars may have one, but most have several stacked over the years.

Please share photos of your Car and the Service Stickers that are on your Corvette and/or Muscle cars.

Not a muscle car but still cool

An original oil sticker from the 70's but not applied in the 70's.

Growing up I remember so many of the gas stations were actual mechanic shops where they fixed the average Joe's car, and most had a hot rod or two sitting in the lot owned by the guys who worked there. There was a Cranberry Red with black stripes SS454 across the street from my elementary school and while everyone else was learning something about photosynthesis and leaves, I was dreaming about driving that awesome red Chevelle. Those were some great days to be growing up.

fsc66,

That is really cool.

Ms. Cordelia Gevas lived in Clifton, NJ with her GTO.

THANK YOU!

Documentation ….. small but tells even more about this Survivor.

Thanks!

1966 2+2 Tri-Power Survivor.

Here's a couple from my garage. '67 Corvette and '67 Chevelle Concours wagon.

Absolutely those (50’s - 60’s) were great years for so many things in life.

The local down the street gas stations where you purchase gas, oil, tires and wiper blades, plus maybe had those “service stickers” glued to your door jam.

I have fond memories of Mom, Dad or myself driving into a “filling station” over the black cord that would signal a “ding ding” to who was on duty.
Filler up please as they check the oil and clean the windows.

Today, all that wonderful doesn’t exist, but we have our classic cars that help take us back to those days.

"Speeds-Service" Mobil
 

I found a pack for our Local Mobil Station

I just love these places. I grew up in and around them, as did much of our family. So many fond memories!

Of course, the driveway bells were a contentious point. I was always told not to drive over the hoses when delivering parts. Some shops, it just could not be avoided. Great way to get your ass chewed by a shop owner:rolleyes2:

I have some old Valvoline ones if anyone wants one. PM me your address. Larry

From my friend Scott Mancini's '69 GP SJ. This was likely the very first oil change. A little hard to make out, but it reads 1827 miles on date 9/29/69.

Gorgeous low mile ‘64 in the color code “SS” Saddle Bronze on “216” Saddle interior.

Here's another one, from my '66 Chevelle...

Bill,
That’s a lot of information on that door.

I see a "Mr. Goodwrench works here" lurking in the rafters.

I worked as a "wrench" in a Sinclair and then an Amoco station in the 70's and those bells were a constant annoyance. Most of the time we had 1 or 2 shop towels draped over them to mute the noise level some. Doug was the Sinclair owner and we worked the 2 service bays and had a "jockey" to man the pumps. But when he was at lunch, late or absent, we had to take the towels off. We got so accustomed to hearing it softly, that it didn't always get our attention when we were on "pump duty".

Variation of the "sticker"
 

My 49 Studebaker farm truck has this little holder affixed to the dash.

The service "sticker" isn't a sticker at all, but rather a piece of paper with a little handle at the top so you can pull it out. Not legible. Last guy to service it at the Cenex place used a pencil instead of a pen.

I've been looking for a holder like that. I have 100 tabs from the Sinclair station I worked at from when he sold out, but no holder. Anyone have one they would part with ?
