What’s up my 64th Gear Jammers? I’m Logan the founder of Advantage Diecast and I’m out here at this old gas station to talk about a Greenlight Building and the Pure Oil Company.

Also you can get many of the Greenlight Collectibles buildings on my website https://www.farmtoysandmore.com

Our story about the Pure Oil Company begins with its founding in 1914. Before that Three oil companies operating in the United States have used the Pure Oil name.

The first of the three companies began in the fall of 1895 as a group of independent oil refiners, producers, and pipeline operators.

Setting up in Butler, Pennsylvania, with headquarters in Pittsburgh, although it was incorporated in New Jersey.

The Pure company was organized by independent interests to counter to the dominance of Standard Oil Company in the Pennsylvania oil fields and was the second oil company (after Standard) in the region. Operations were based in Oil City, Pennsylvania. David Kirk was elected the first president. He was succeeded in 1896 by James W. Lee. Pure Oil sold illuminating oil in Philadelphia and New York City.

The second company: the Pure Oil Producing Co. was incorporated in 1902. In 1904 a refinery was built on the Delaware River which received 600 barrels per day from the United States Pipe Line. This increased to 1,800 barrels per day.

The third Pure company began when Beman Gates Dawes, his brothers, and partner Fletcher Heath whose Columbus-based Ohio Cities Gas Company which had begun in 1914 made an offer of $24.50 a share for the Pure Oil Producing Co. Dawes was building an Oklahoma refinery, and Pure Oil had production capabilities there which would benefit his company. The Pennsylvania company accepted the offer.

In 1920, Ohio Cities Gas Company's name changed to Pure Oil. In 1926, the headquarters moved to Chicago. Refineries were located in Ohio, West Virginia, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Hey 64th Gear Jammers, I’m Logan Founder of Advantage Diecast, and I’ve got a vintage DG Productions model to review today after a bit of history on Swift Transportation. DG Productions made detailed 1:64th Scale diecast trucks in the days before Diecast Promotions made 1:64thscale trucks.

But first please make sure to subscribe and grab my report on Tips for valuing your collection with the link in the description below.

Thanks to all my subscribers. You guys are the best!

On October 10, 1966, a new truck line began. This trucking company was destined to become one of the largest truck lines in history.

Swift Transportation began operation by transporting imported steel from the port of Los Angeles to Arizona. On the turnaround they transported Arizona cotton to Southern California.

Founded by Jerry Moyes, the original company operated under the name of Common Market. The Swift name was purchased from the Swift Meat Packing Family later on and the truck line name was changed to Swift Transportation.

Jerry Moyes along with his father Carl Moyes, brother Ronald Moyes, and Randy Knight built Swift Transportation into a multi-million dollar business. When Jerry’s father Carl passed away, Jerry Moyes became the sole owner of Swift Transportation.

In last Thursday’s video I talked about the history of electric vehicles and reviewed models of Tesla cars. If you missed it is episode 5 and you can find it here https://youtu.be/G3w91fDCE7Y

In this video I am going to continue with the history of Tesla Inc. and review the Tesla Semi models made by Matchbox.

Founded in July 2003 as Tesla Motors, the company's name is a tribute to inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla.

Elon Musk, who contributed most of the funding in the early days, has served as CEO since 2008. According to Musk, the purpose of Tesla is to help expedite the move to sustainable transport and energy obtained through electric vehicles and solar power.

I assume most of you are familiar with the Tesla cars, having seen one on the road or on YouTube.

However, we have only seen the Tesla Semi in pictures and on YouTube.

Maybe if you live in the Fremont California area you might have caught a glimpse of the red Tesla Semi running down the road with a flatbed loaded with concrete blocks. However, this unit is only for real world testing and not in commercial transport at the time of this video.

Let's see! Today I would like to take a different route to talk about the Chevy Steel Tilt-Cab Box truck model by Neo Scale Models. These trucks were used by many companies including A&P Supermarkets.

In my previous videos episode ~ GMC 7500 steel tilt cab tandem axle tractor (https://youtu.be/RAToaZAsYao) and episode ~ Chevy Steel tilt cab single axle tractor (https://youtu.be/xttTaiK21pU) I described the Chevy & GMC tilt cab trucks and the many uses the truck was put to. So, see these episodes on my channel if you missed them.

Of course, I am going to do a product review on the 1:64thScale truck by Neo Scale Models: 1960 Chevrolet Tilt-Cab Box Truck for A&P Supermarkets, but first I thought it would be interesting and different to talk about what the truck was hauling and a little about the company it was hauling for.

If you noticed the thumbnails the company logo was on the sides of the truck. The logo represented “The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company” or “A&P” for short. As many of you know A&P was the grocery company that was responsible for the modern supermarkets we shop in today.

The A&P story began way back in 1859 when George Huntington Hartford and George Francis Gilman had a brilliant marketing plan for selling tea. Why not market tea using the mail. By using the mail to deliver the tea George and Francis could sell their tea at discount prices. Brilliant!

WOW!.... When I researched Tesla, I sort of fell down a rabbit hole. I thought this would be a single video about the Tesla Semi, but I soon realized that I had way too much interesting information.

So, I decided to do a two-part video series. The first part is about the history of electric vehicles up to the release of the Tesla Roadster. The second part is about Tesla Inc. and the Class 8 Tesla Semi.
