At a gas station filling up the Chevy Chase

Filling up a Chevy Chase at a rural gas station

I never realized there was actually a Chevy Chase vehicle. I thought it was just the name of the man who starred on Saturday Night Live and made all those National Lampoon Vacation movies. Of course with a birth name like Cornelius Crane Chase you can see why he goes by the much hipper nickname, Chevy. “The name Chevy was a nickname bestowed by his grandmother, derived from the medieval English Ballad of Chevy Chase” via wikipedia.

Anyway, I love photos of old filling stations. The beauty of the old gas pumps, the gas station attendant, and vintage vehicles are just great.
