64 cents or 69 cents was the lowest I remember.  LOL - 36 cents RoadKing!!!  You are giving away your age!

.47 at Ownes on the corner of Phillips and Univ.--well, back more toward the RR tracks...before the huge overpass was built.  That was probably 1975 or 1976.  Mom was driving a 1967 VW bug.  She was way ahead of her time.  Well, actually, it's all we could afford.  Everybody was miserable  back then.  Thank you Jimmy Carter!

I think it was a Triumph, I was too young to drive but a friend had one. The floor was rusted out and nothing worked but the engine, gas and brake. The joke was, if we needed to stop FAST, everyones "SHOES TO THE GROUND!" Lost more shoes that way... Hee Hee
