1940s-’50s-style Wayne Union Oil Co. Aviation Gasoline pump
The petrol pump
We classic car enthusiasts are irredeemably nostalgic. Once you've got that dream car or motorbike in your garage, what better way to complete the picture than by accumulating matching car-related items?
Today's petrol pumps lack the charm and - dare we say it - style of the petrol stations of yesteryear, especially in the US where the pumps were as ornate and chrome-plated as the cars! So here's something very cool: a 'Wayne' style petrol pump, as they were found in the 1940s or 1950s.
Resplendent with Union Oil Co. livery and the famous '76' logo, it's a superb piece, ideal for display alongside a classic American car from the 1950s. It is fitted with a two-pin European plug and electric cable for the light elements, and is complete with globe and filler gun.
Finished to a high standard, this petrol pump looks great. The paintwork shines, as do the various chrome elements and polished components such as the filler nozzle. The panels appear to be in very good condition, with no noticeable dents or visible corrosion. The fragile dome appears undamaged, and we understand that the lighting system is working well. The fuel gauge viewing window is in very good condition, with the glass clean and intact, and all the digits reset to zero. We note that the piece is complete with a reproduced Wayne nameplate, partially engraved.
BEFORE YOU BUY This sale is subject to Car & Classic's terms and conditions. By bidding and/or placing a bid, you also agree to the following: ✓ If the seller is registered as a private seller, consumer rights under European consumer protection law do not apply. Car & Classic's returns policy applies. ✓ A non-refundable deposit will be payable if you are the winning bidder at the auction or if your bid is accepted, refer to FAQs and T&Cs for details. ✓ Buyers are responsible for delivery. Postage must be paid to the seller privately at the buyer's expense, unless other arrangements are agreed between buyer and seller. VAT is included in the deposit paid by the buyer. VAT may or may not be included in the final price of the offer or quotation, as specified in the advertisement.
If an auction vehicle doesn't sell, it may be converted into a “Make an offer” listing. This will retain all of the details of the auction listing but replace the bidding functionality with an offering system whereby potential buyers can make an offer on the vehicle. To take the hassle out of the whole process and to prevent any unnecessary squabbling we'll automatically decline anything less than 70% of the asking price so only offers that are worth considering will be accepted. Make an offer listings include a “Make an offer” button. Simply click on this and enter the amount you’d like to offer and the seller will either accept, decline or counter. Easy peasy. If you don’t have a Car & Classic account with a registered bank card you’ll be prompted to set one up at this point.
If your offer is accepted, you’ll be charged a service fee. The amount depends on the cost of the vehicle and is an additional cost on top of the offer amount. Starting from as little as £/€300, it covers the cost of our various auction and escrow services, but rest assured, we're not in the woollen eyewear business and so the exact amount is always displayed upfront before you place your bid. You will only be charged if your offer is accepted.
The service fee is a charge in addition to any accepted offer amount that varies depending on the cost of the vehicle. Starting from as little as £/€300, the exact fee is clearly displayed upfront before any offer is placed so you always know exactly how much you'll be charged. It covers the cost of our various auction and escrow services and allows us to continue to provide a secure and professional platform from which to transact safely.
If you've ever squeezed a lemon then this'll be a doddle. Firstly you'll need to be logged in to your Car & Classic account and have added a valid payment card to your profile. Once these steps have been completed you can then make an offer by clicking on the "Make an offer" button on the listing page and entering your offer amount before clicking on the “Submit Offer” button underneath.
