Historic pumps for petrol and two stroke in the village of Molières in the Dordogne department of south west France.

---

These old petrol pumps and two stroke pumps are at the roadside in the small village of Molières in the Dordogne region of France. They mark a simper time when garages just provided motoring needs such as petrol (essence) and two stroke mix (deux temps). I cannot date these historic artefacts ( perhaps late 50s/60s?) but the price shown per litre was in Francs and nor Euros. France changed to the Euro on 1st January 2002 but they clearly pre-date that time. Caltex fuels and oils are still available in some parts of the world and the company is an almalgamation of Texaco and Chevron.
