A Good Day Turned Bad

Gas caps of the 60'-70's just weren't up to today's standards.
Only a thin rubber gasket stopped gas from coming out the cap, and onto the side of your car.
Same as the radiator overflow tube straight to the ground.
Back than, a little gas or antifreeze overflowing on the ground was no big deal.

Because of the substandard gas caps of that era, I never fill my tank up past a half tank. Actually a half tank is pretty rare in my A body's, settling for less to keep the gas off my paint.
