Kids today would play with that hat too, its neat! I'd have loved it when I was a kid.

I remember Texaco's fire chief helmets but not the ones with the microphones in them.

Who cares about the helmet? I gots the hots for a girl in rubber clothing!

I actually did have one of those. And it was neat. I think it was a gift from my grandparents; I know my grandfather preferred to use Texaco stations whenever possible.

The jingle came right back to me, for sure.
