Private collections !! WOW

Hi Guys.
Spent my weekend delivering some machines that I finished for a very nice guy. He has an amazing collection. I actually stopped and visited three guys private collections. Sorry I only took pictures at the one. The pictures posted are at my first stop. At my second stop the gentleman had a full working Texaco station and a full working 1950's diner. And with both of these in the building it was only 1/8 of the way filled. He was still working on adding a 1950's Chevy dealership, a barber shop, a bicycle shop, and more. We saw lots of vintage cars. My daughters favorite was the Packard. She is sitting in the drivers seat in the picture. It is amazing how long that car is. The third stop is where I delivered the most of the machines to, as seen in the picture. This gentleman had the largest pedal car collection that I have ever seen. Just amazing. He also had some very nice rare vintage cars. He and his wife were very nice. We had lunch with them and spent several hours looking at his collection. I wish I would have taken more pictures. I know how you guys like photos. It's just amazing how many large private collections that are out there.
Enjoy the pictures !!!

Yes I did the machines in the last photo. They were all for one customer. My goal now is to restore that rare Pepsi United P384 that you guys saw pictures of here a while back. Then also I have a VMC 7-UP 110 that I would like to do. Then I still have those two Pepsi 88'S that I bought at the Chicago show. John you probally remember seeing those. I hope that mine turn out as nice as yours did (John). If I only had more time. I love messing with the old machines.
