She sure is a sweetie!! I fell in love with here too!!!!
Makes me want to put in some stairs.
Ray's camera was dying on him so I guess he didn't get the McFly Crude Oil sign. There was loads of signs that we didn't get pictures of like in the hallways, staircase in the front lobby....a wall full of thermomters. He had very large orginal painting which was used for the first cover of Sports Illuminated...the second issue was called Sports Illustrated from then on.

Oh. My. God. Amazing, thanks for sharing. For us less experienced guys, can anyone tell us about the collector? He must have an interesting story. Whoever you are , thanks for letting us see your collection.

This ranks right up there with the Falvo collection, maybe even better.

Thanks for bumping this as I had not seen it. Gotta love the Oldsmobile rocket neon, Route 66 motel and the pinup. Just an amazing collection.

Vermonter asked about the collector.
He has a helicopter and would fly around small towns looking for their trash and or junk yard over the years and got alot of them for little money.
This is a awesome collection and the owner is a first class guy.
If anyone comes to town I will have Christina call and work her magic again.
He also rents this place out for meetings and receptions. I was at a wedding reception there just last year.
There is a couple of buildings full of goodies.

Paddy,
It was a cold week and weekend. remember at Seth's auction it rained all day then iced up and you and Chuck (Hemibird) were out trying to break ice to move a pump from one trailer to another.
Bring momma with you and let's go see it again.
But we all had a great time at Seth's auction with Ric and Domonica and Ray and Mary Sue and you Chuck and James and I along with Christina.

Paddy,
Thanks for bumping this thread up!
The combination of FALSTAFF beer, Coke sign upstairs and the stair case with the pin-up girl leaning against the banister …
What a great & unique idea for decorating that particular area!
