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.

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
