My story is like many other posts...
Old muscle cars, then a garage, then gotta do something with these bare walls! My first original piece of nostalgia was in the form of an old AC spark plug bench top plug cleaner and tester I hauled home from a local swap meet in the fall of 1990. On the way home from that very swap meet, I stopped by a guy's garage with a pump island display out front. He was nice enough to let me look around, and invited me inside his garage when I was done loooking. (He was already inside with some of his buddies shooting the breeze) Anyway, I finish checking out his display, and I head for the garage. When I opened the door I'd wish I had a picture of how I must have looked. I'm sure my jaw was firmly on the floor! This man had it all! Rare globes, signs, cans, pumps, barber shop goodies, country store collectibles. All these were in at least an 8+ condition or better and his displays were incredible!
That was it..I was hooked big time. And to think it all came together in just one day!
