I have always wondered about the availability of certain items during WWII. I have been told gas and rubber were in short supply. My maternal grandpa's M is still on our farm. He bought it next thing to new. It's a 1945 model with 4 rubber tires and a gasoline only engine. My dad has a picture of his father on a styled Oliver 70, also with 4 rubber tires, parked by a gasoline pump with the hose in the tank. The pump was the kind with the glass canister that you filled up. It has a Sinclair dinosaur on it and reads GASOLINE. The back reads June 1944. I realize the tires could have been from a pre-war tractor and put on the newer one. But what about the gas? Maybe finally getting some on the farm was such a monumentous occasion, they decided it deserved a picture!
