Nice you could choose if you would like your gasoline with or without service :-) (4:00).

Why was the chain called "Der Wienerschnitzel" and not "Das Wienerschnitzel". It is (was) a proper noun, but why the wrong article? (5:02)

A small part appears twice (from 8:51--9:06).

more cyclists than I see in current streetview footage

Coca-Cola delivery vans where yellow?

I guess. On the other hand, you weren't able to choose if you would like your gasoline with or without lead yet.

Still possible in some places. Especially cities with large numbers of retirees.

I used a full-service optional Shell station in Las Vegas last year. Unlike when I was young, full-service didn't mean in increase in the price of gas.

There are a few full-service stations around where I live. But you really don't need your oil checked when you get gas so unless the objective is to have someone else pump your gas in crappy weather there's not a not of point.
