Car Culture Memorabilia

On the way to Taos along the Rio Grande river you will find this museum of car memorabilia. When we stopped at his place the owner was working outside on one of the gas pumps that he had acquired to bring its mechanism back to functionality. The museum is mostly focused on gas station items like gas pumps which he restores, gas station signs, gas pump medallions, oil cans, historical photos etc, as well as other items from the early period of the automobile. Being the very nice person that he is, he opened up the indoor exhibit of restored items for us even though he wasn't officially open.

He even rents out restored vintage gas pumps to the movie industry, if they have a need to create a set that requires an old gas station.
