Wow, Now that is a den! Dick you have a lot of stuff in there... anymore and you will need to add on to the house. How did you get away with putting all that in the house? Me and my wife made a deal... upstairs is all hers to do what she wants and the basement is all mine. She hasn't done anything down there except clean. HA,HA Great job!
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

Thanks Jim.
How do you guys get your wives to dust your collections? I took her to Dinner, she handed me the DUST RAG.
IF I retired, I'd have to quit Buying Stuff.

Dick was very kind and invited me to see his collection and I was overwhelmed!! It is awesome! The pictures are great but you should see the den lit up at night. Also his carport is a sight to see full of nice pumps including a rare Roman 5 gallon! I hope you post more pics Dick! Dick has a full display of vintage gas pumps at the Santa Paula Union oil building in California. If your in the southern CA. area check it out!

Rob, you are very lucky to have visited Dick's place. It is truly an awesome collection. I am still looking at his pics that are posted and drooling all over the place. The 36 showcase, double 850, Sunset, Hancock signs and all the others are only dreamed about where I live.

Dick, a great looking room, thanks for sharing with the rest of us! Didn't know that a modular home could hold that much,... "history". Hell, to be truthful didn't know any kind of home could hold so much,... "history". I wish I lived closer, so I could help you keep everything under "control", LOL.
Looking for Tide Water/ Tide Water-Associated/ Tidewater items

Having been there, and seeing the collection, I can truly say, that ANY pics that you see of the 36B triple, just dont serve it any justice.... Here are a few more pics, that I shot, on my visit...    Check out the twin towers....
Anything Chevron ![[Linked Image from i17.photobucket.com]](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b68/thunder_/136chevronlrg.gif) I'd rather be flying.....
