Where are the pictures of the backroom??? I missed that room until Don told me about it. The Beacon, Seaside, and Sunset signs... WOW!
I had never seen anything like that. I was blown away by the condition, this stuff is all near mint. It is super rare too, AND in great condition. Big ol' Beacon sign, so nice I had to look close to see if it was a fake!
I can't even remember all the cool stuff he had. (most I had never heard of!)
I didn't even see the big Tokheim in there until I just saw it in the pictures! ha ha ha I walked through that place a few times and NEVER noticed that big pump sitting there. I went over and checked out the A-38... never saw the Tokheim.
There is so much to see...

You've NEVER been there?! You drive to AZ but not So Cal!? Next time come down! You can go to Disneyland the day before, maybe they will let you on the rides, you know, you have to be as tall as Mickey to ride the scary ones, lol!

Dwaine, The pictures don't even compare to seeing it in person!! I asked several people if you were there. I wanted to meet the famous Old Gas Dwaine Buck. How about next year? I did not see the A-38 too much to look at!!!

Hubba -

Later . . .
