Location #B

The Mendenhall museum at 24 Zaca St. in Buellton Ca.. If you love old gas station and racing history, this is an absolute must see. Mark Mendenhall runs it, and he has the greatest collection of vintage gas station equipment, memoribilia, and photos that I have ever seen. Mark was also very helpful to me in providing photos and other information that I used to complete this section. You will need to contact him to make an appointment to get the tour, but it is well worth it. Go to his website at: http://www.mendenhallmuseum.com/contact.php

Just some of the signs that are in the collection.

This is in the back of the property. It doubles as a dance floor.
More signs and some classic cars/ race cars are in those sheds.

 

 

I love the big 76 ball. It rotates too.

I want an orange freeze right now.
Another classic sign.

I never ask how he aquires some of these items.

More stuff.

Mark and his crew are constantly adding and upgrading.

More signage. There's tons more inside the buildings.

A classic neon sign.

Another great neon sign. They do have a bar inside too. For parties.

A classic old pump and oil tank.
