The sixth-annual Boulevard Rod Run and Doo Wop will draw plenty of gas-guzzlers to the Kanawha Boulevard this weekend. But J.R. Bailey of Tyler Mountain is the only one with gas pumps. Bailey brought six vintage gas pumps to the show this year. They won't fill your tank, but they will take you back to a time when a $1 bill could get you anywhere you needed to go.
