Stainless Steel
In the late 1950s, the stainless steel pump was popular. These pumps were shorter, more square, and featured unpainted, stainless steel surfaces. The top portion of the pump was often larger, setting atop a narrower, tapering base. These units were often attached in long rows, providing different types of fuels and services.
