Gas Stations

Awesome pics and way cool traffic shots! In the Shell Station picture between the wrecked '59 Pontiac and '66 Impala shots, looks like Steve in the Formula behind the '71 Runner on the street, a '66 BelAir in line beside the '74 Nova also love that '72 Opel Rally behind it...twin '73 Comets to each side of the 74/75 Lemans plus dual '72 AMC Ambassadors also in front of the '72 Torino Coupe at the pumps, is that a '68 Biscayne w/ funky bumper reflection also a blurry '64 Impala at the street curb...what else? In the 40's era Indian Trails Texaco pic, who's the guy in the shop w/ astronaut suit and bubble helmet ring collar? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] ~ Pete

That's José Jiménez. <span style="font-style: italic">Ed Sullivan: "Now, what do you consider the most important thing in rocket travel?" José Jiménez: "To me the most important thing in the rocket travel is the blast-off." Ed Sullivan: "The blast-off." José Jiménez: "I always take a blast before I take off. Otherwise I wouldn't go near that thing."</span> |

Re: Gas Stations
For you youngin's, here is more of what Mr70 has posted. If you want a real laugh, search YouTube for the actual recordings ... TAZ
Part I DH) The gentleman you`re about to meet is the most important man in any of our lives. He`s the United States officer who has been sent into outer space. I`m referring to the cheif astronaut with the United States Interplantary Expeditionary Force and here he is now. How do you do sir, may we have your name? JJ) My name, Jose Jimenez DH) And you`re the cheif astronaut with the United States Interplantary Expeditionary Force? JJ) I am the cheif astronaut, with the United States, Interplanetary, (long pause).... My name Jose Jimenez DH) Mr. Jimenez could you tell us a little about your space suit? JJ) Yes, it`s very uncomfortable DH) How much, how much did the space suit cost? JJ) That eh space suit cost 18,000 dollars DH) 18,000 dollars? JJ) Yes DH) That seems rather expensive. JJ) Well it has two pair of pants ... So that`s only 9,000 dollars a piece... DH) I`ve been noticing this, Mr. Jimenez. What is this called, a crash helmet? JJ) Oh I hope not DH) What are the physical qualities that they look for in an astronaut? JJ) The physical qualities they look for in the astronaut, you got to have the perfect hearing, you got to have the perfect vision, you got to have the normal blood pressure, you got to have four legs DH) You have to have four legs? JJ) Yes, they were going to send a dog but they thought that would be too cruel DH) Mr. Jimenez you must have some opinions on the race for space. JJ) All right I will (long pause) I got one DH) What do you think of Vanguard I and Jupiter II JJ) That was a pretty close game ... I thought for sure that Vanguard was going to take it... DH) The west coast yes... JJ) ...What you were reading the papers about... DH) ...Yeh I know, Tell me Jose, JJ) I`ll tell you Jose DH) Tell me JJ) Yes I`ll tell you, you just ask me and I tell you... DH) Alright DH) Were you a participant at any of the rocket launchings at Cape Canaveral? JJ) I was a participant, at any of the rocket launchings at Cape Canaveral, I was there,when they opened the door into the nose-cone, and they took that mouse, and they put that mouse inside the nose-cone, then, they closed the door, on that little mouse, (long pause) I don`t want to talk about it DH) Please Mr. Jimenez please, please let`s ah, try to continue here, ah DH) I want to ask you: What is the most important thing in rocket travel? JJ) To me the most important thing in the a rocket travel is the blast-off DH) The blast-off. JJ) I always take a blast before I take off, (pause) otherwise I wouldn`t get in that thing DH) Well after that: What is the proceedure in taking off? JJ) The proceedure after that in taking off, you got to put on the tetro-hydrollic double dynamo rebostable booster, you got to activate the de-compression activator, and you got to put on the anti-magnetic escowsinga system DH) And then you`re really up there! JJ) No that opens the door, (long pause) and lets out that little mouse Part II DH) Let`s talk about the rockets themselves JJ) Well, I, I had trouble once with one of the rockets DH) At Cape Canaveral?

JJ) That`s not my fault, I told them I was willing to go Tourist, and they said it was such a long trip, go first class and that`s what I done... DH)...Okay do you think the... JJ)...(no overweight baggage)... DH) Do you think there will be life on Mars?
