Photos of the garage before and after.
Hey Don,
The remodel on the garage and house look really,really good! Your Imperial collection looks great in the showcase also!
Pat
Very nice Don.....very nice. I like the updated house colors as well.
Darin
awesome .. ...
Yup, well done! Thanks for posting.
Very nice! Looks like a great layout.
Don, as usual the quality of your stuff blows me away. It is near impossible to find any mint black red ball stuff these days. Garage looks great.
Don, as always, excellent work and "stuff". I am hoping we can see the rest, which is equally as good, in its new environment soon. Nice way to spend the holiday, eh!?
Hello all. I am new to this site and would first like to reply to Don and just say.... If you remodel your garage and it becomes the focal point of your house then you sir are a visionary God!!!!!!!!!!! It's a thing of beauty! Excuse me I have to wipe a tear from my eye.
Really nice display and your garage is just great.
WOW what a transformation! Very cool.
Thanks guys for all the kind comments. The house also received a number of upgrades: new sewer line, electrical box, sidewalks and steps to match the driveway, insulation and matching Hardi board siding. There are still a few items to do such as replacing the front and rear doors on the house and add an alley fence. Right now I am installing baseboards in the garage main floor. I am just a garage guy who has always wanted a decent one to work and play in. I just hope I can pay it off before I hit 70 and then retire debt free. At least that is the plan. Cheers, Don.

the garage looks bigger than the house- mine is also, the improvements look great .. ...
Everything there looks pretty nice to me! Great set-up for sure......
Darin
VERY VERY NICE!
Can you post pictures of the Mobil items?
Don, You have a superb display of some quite nice vintage items there. Best of luck with the search for four legs, I'm sure they will turn up!
Thanks for the comments. Steve I will try to take some Mobil photos tonight and maybe post them later or else tomorrow. It all depends how late it is when I get home. Cheers, Don.
Very nice display ! Well done both and the garage . Neat big boy hideout !
Man that sure looks great. Time to put the pumps in there and give us a look see.
Great to see the yellow and blue sunburst globes side by side. Beautiful.
Here are the last two photos. The early gargoyle is one end of a 16 jar oil rack. Thanks Craig, my back is already hurting thinking about moving the pumps upstairs. They may just end up on the main floor. There are only half a dozen with two unrestored. Cheers, Don.
WOW! So cool.....
I only collect Mobil.
A couple of close-up photos.

Another Great display Don.
Very nice displays, signs, and garage! What a beautiful organized collection!

Your garage is a beauty, Don! A couple of questions for you. Are those bare (no signs) can racks on the floor something you made, commercially available, or vintage? Also, I see a couple of Husky cans (fourth rack from the left), but the cans to their left have me wondering - Frontier Oil?
Brian
Nice job Don, Looks great!!!
Thanks for the reply, Don. I keep hoping to one day find a nice, basic rack for my cans but they are hard to come by around here. I'm in awe of your Husky can collection. The differences in "standing dogs" and fonts is interesting. I've not seen the dog with the bushier tail. Must have been a Husky Oil Ltd. of Canada design.
Brian
Wow! Amazing inside and out.
Don, To say your collection is impressive is an understatement. The overall appearance of the room is fantastic. Well done!
First class collection and display - amazing - you could charge admission!
Incredible display. thanks for sharing.
I am very impressed with the entire display and the organizational skills you have! What an amazing collection you have!
Rob
A well-displayed collection of high-condition stuff!
