I love the gas pumps on Cape Cod. :-)
Gauging by the wagon, and the fuel prices, and the way the guy was dressed (looks like my dad then) it must have been mid sixties. Went there (cape cod) regularly as a kid - very late sixties to early eighties. 24.9 for regular leaded and 29.9 for premium leaded. Believe minimum wage was $1.10 hour then. So it's all relative. Was great before it was ruined by wealth and became a playground for the rich. Went to one of the very last Drive In movies at the long gone Hyannis location "Revenge of the Nerds II". Believe the Wellfleet drive in survives as a nostalgia joint.
