I'm new to the site so I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I recently retired after 35+ years in the financial service industry and now have the time to pursue my first love - cars and everything related to them. Most importantly I'm an avid collector of Gilmore Gas memorabilia. I'm looking for a pair of Gilmore Racing Fuel globes, I see from a post in 2014 someone had them for sale - are they still available?
Please let me know if you have any items you'd like to sell.
Happy days, happy life...
Frank

Thanks Ed, been to your wonderful city and enjoyed my time there. In fact the KC135 tanker I served on while in the Air Force in 1966 is now housed at the aircraft graveyard in Tucson. Found it on a website, maybe someday I'll visit and try to find it amongst the thousands of relics.
All the best, Frank

Hi Frank. Maybe you should check out the upcoming auction that Dan Matthews is holding. I am sure there will be some great Gilmore Gas items to be bid on. Good Luck. Check out " Morphy Auction Oct.5 2015".Dan.

Sorry, Frank. I forgot I made it a closed group, so you'd have to join to see it. You're welcome to join though. Here is a sample of what you'd see- part of a friend of mines collection he posted...

This is the name of the group- "The Lion's Den - Gilmore Oil Co. Fan Page". If you go to the page, it should say it is a closed group, but there should be a "JOIN" button to click.

Thanks Jeremy, found the page and hit the join button. Says "Pending" so I'm assuming it will be reviewed by someone for approval.
Thanks again, Frank
