Anybody been to Jack Mendenhalls Museum in Buellton , california, they just did a artical on him in the new Goodguys Hot Rod Magazine, it looks like he got a lot of cool stuff.

Jack started collecting STUFF when it was FREE. He had a DREAM, that one day he would have a museum of gasoline advertising. It took many years to get it arranged. The word AWSOME does not do justice to what he has done.

Jack would go on trips and gather signs, globes, pumps and stuff. The car & trailer would be so OVERLOADED, that he should have been ticketed for going TOO SLOW.

I've known Jack for 25+ yrs, and have been there countless times, and always see someting new or differantly.

Yeah, I've had the pleasure of visiting Jack & his museum (saw Dick Bennett the night before). It is one of the coolest places that I've ever been to! Plus, Jack is a true gentleman & a great host. If you ever get the chance to visit with Jack and see his museum, DO NOT hesitate to go. Time well spent!!!!!!!
