Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Showcase and Stories, Petroliana Great Garage Pictures

I'm often contacted by the media about my knowledge of ultimate garages that contain beautiful collections of automobiles and memorabilia.

I'd like to point them toward this post as a showcase of pictures that members have acquired over the years of dream garages that go beyond the ordinary.

Please post some of the more impressive pictures you have of automobile, automobilia and petroliana collections that you've toured.

The finest collection I've seen so far? It would have to be Ralph Falvo's collection in Edmonton, Albera. Its more like a museum with a built-in gas station, pharmacy and soda-pop fountain all under one roof. Simply amazing!

Hey Chad, good idea. I haven't toured too many garages in the past, but my wife and I had the pleasure to take a personal tour of Ralph Falvo's collection in Edmonton a few years ago. Simply awsome, and what a nice fellow to boot. Most of you are familiar with Kim at Service Station Nostalgia out of Edmonton, he has a pretty neat place too. His main business is a mechanical garage which is an old Texaco gas station. He added onto it for more room of course, but he restored the main building to a 1950's style gas station, he has signage ,pumps, air meters, etc, throughout the whole building. He also runs his pump resto. business out of the same building, I wish I had some pics of his place. I will have to scrounge up some pics of Ralph's collection I took if I can remember how to post them, being away so long you know. By the way Chad, cool website and very nice products. Later.
Ken.

Lets see if I can remeber how to do this.
