Alley
Gasoline
Alley is dedicated to the restoration of Gasoline memorabilia
and just about anything that Paul and Cathy think deserves
to be restored and shown.
The
whole collection began with a small display of die cast
vehicles, which Paul had been given by his sons as Christmas
gifts. When Paul and Cathy opened their business eight ago,
they decorated the office with the display.
They
decided to bid on Ebay for an item to expand the collection,
and Paul purchased his first gasoline pump, a Gilbert &
Baker gravity feed pump. That was followed by many more
gas related items, which led him to becoming a collector.
And, as they say, the rest is history!
The
Canadian Service Station Memorabilia Association
Paul
is now a member of the Canadian Service Station Memorabilia
Associations.
Through
the association and their magazine "The Garage Door
News," he has met fellow collectors with a wealth of
knowledge who have assisted him to expand his collection.
Restoration
Work
All
the restoration work was done at Specialty Repairs with
the exception of the decals and some upholstery. Kathy Short
has made much the clothing and anything related to sewing.
She is also responsible for most of the research on each
item. Brian Primmer is the graphic designer who competes
the decals and designs for everything in the collection.
