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

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".

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.

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

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.
