the Surf City Garage car collection and incredible collection of signs, gas station stuff, and pertroliana

















wow, a Coca Cola delivery bike!







I finally learned of a model T museum that has been photographed many times but not identified in emails, Near Yuma Arizona is an old gas station / private collection/museum


Steve told me that this was originally a gas station in Holtville Ca, but was bought and moved here





it is North of Yuma, in a small town named Bard. The collection is open for visitors in the cool winter months http://www.dynamitedave.com/places_cloud_museum.html

some good photos I found on Finkenstein.tumblr.com


it might not be easy to see it, but the guy is Steve McQueen getting into the Lotus

self employed on the roadside, but it's better than punching a clock


it's better than a lemonade stand too... people know how that Coke will taste, but not know what your lemonade is going to be like

and this is a portable gas station from the 1920's. Somewhere I posted a photo of a guy wheeling one down a city street and selling a gallon here, a couple there. It's a good idea in my opinion... it brings the convienence factor to buying gas... and not having to pull into a gas station when your car requires it. Imagine if your gas was refilled while you were at work? How nice would that be?
