Bennett 962 Signal Regular Gasoline Pump

The Pump

Bennett is one of the oldest manufacturers of an essential accessory for motorists: petrol pumps. The 900 series was launched in 1954, offering an elegant design with a large panoramic dial that could be read from a distance. These pumps also introduced the innovative idea of double hoses, doubling capacity on the forecourt by allowing cars to use both sides of the pump.

In 1956, the company introduced its first pump with fluorescent dials. This striking example appears to be one of them, a '962' model with the Signal logo on the front.

These pumps were ubiquitous across the US in the mid to late 1950s. For this reason alone, they are an integral part of the American retro scene and are sought-after accessories to complement classic car garages around the world.

Condition

This pump is in interesting, carefully patinated condition. Finished in a distinctive orange, yellow and blue paint, embellished with period decals and Bennett trim, it would undoubtedly be a must-see talking point in any garage.

It features the Bennett panoramic dial, but the glass is missing, as is the globe on the roof.

It's a very elegant pump full of character from the golden age of American motoring.

Popular questions about make an offer

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.

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.
