Pnumatic Remote Control!!
 

At first glance I thought this was just another Philco Seventeener, but look closer, it has the "New Matic" remote control.

I had heard about this but have never seen one.

Yeah, you stomp it and three attendants in uniform come out from behind the set to fill you up, wash your windshield and check your oil. :)

Hey Rob,
Don't ya miss that little bell when you drive in for gas. DING! and there they are checking everything for .25.9 a gallon :p:

Steve,

I do remember buying gas as a teenager for 27 cents a Canadian gallon in Vancouver, BC. Yeah, I miss cheap gas. One of the back to the future movies, One or Two (I have them on laserdisc) shows the attendants running out to service a customer like they used to do. Customer service is a lost art. :(
