- On my way to the Iowa Gas swap meet I stopped by to visit Johnnie Meier of Classical Gas in Embudo New Mexico. This place is amazing!!! I highly recommend visiting if you enjoy gas station memorabilia!!!

It is a sin to envy, guess I'm off to pray. What an awesome collection.
Yes it’s an awesome collection! Almost overwhelming what he fits into a relatively small building. Rob
I've been looking for some new material and this is from a year ago. Hope you put out some soon. This is a great episode
Working on it!
Holy Molly, the gentleman that bought those 9 pumps is really lucky!! My dad and i will have to visit the museum when we are in that area next time!!! Thank you for taking us along on this adventure!!
Another great video
Thank you😊😮
Glad you enjoyed it
What an amazing collection.
Thanks I agree 💯 percent. He had so many things in his collection that I could not see it all. Every time I watch this video I notice more. Rob
Incredible or that's your some nice things you collected must have took a lifetime
He has been collecting most of his life .
Thanks to johnny an thanks to you for showing it so many amazing things there an great score on the pump . Cheers from oz
What a great place thank you for sharing!
Thanks Jeff, I encourage any petroleum collector to visit Classical Gas when in the area.
Your videos are much better than watching American Pickers !!
Thanks Tom! I am pleased that you enjoy them . Your friend Rob
Such a cool place! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Brian! I had so much fun looking at all his collectibles.
That is Just too "COOL"!!!
Thanks! I had such a great time there! Rob
Maybe I missed it, but what did (does) Johnnie do for a living? Was he in the gas and oil industry where he might have had connections to build such a fine collection? I have a similar type collection of this kind of petroliana, food, diner, fountain, BBQ signage, railroading, fishing lure, outboard motor stuff, racing, and on and on. And I can tell you it took me a shit-ton of money and 45 years to build it. That is why I am watching this and interested in fellow collectors, historians, and aficianados of design to hear and compare their journies and stories with my experience. Thanks, and the best to both of you.
He is retired now. He mentioned working with movie companies renting out his pumps currently but I failed to ask what type work he did in the past. He is an upstanding gentleman and started collecting over 30 years ago,
Rob, Always making the American Petroliana and more (Shell oil and gas for instance) great. Congratulations and take care too.
Rob, I do not if you have ever done, but, put in your car the "your channel name", we have to increase the inscribed. From Rio-Brasil
Thank you!! I like your idea to make a channel name decal for my truck or trailer sign. Thank you for your positive comments as always.
beyond cool for us baby boomers---gas stations part of our lives as kids. conoco man in our neighborhood filled air in our bike tires, texaco man down the block gave us little fire hats,
Very good times!!! Thanks for sharing! I appreciate you visiting my channel as well.
Johnny was awesome. Rob I hope to meet you at Iowa gas. What days will you be there?
Hello Tom, I would like to meet you as well. I will be there Monday night till Wednesday or Thursday. Glad you enjoyed the video.
It's funny, I never see Sohio or Boron signs...
Sohio was Standard oil of Ohio and Boron was the same logo (S.O.) in Pennsylvania. (Boron was a grade of gas at Sohio stations) My dad had a Sohio card which had about 20+ stations you could use it at depending on which state you were in.
Clark and Marathon are a couple others I rarely see...
Thanks for watching my video and commenting on this. I have seen only a few Sohio signs but not Boron . I do have a Boron globe in my collection .
Спасибо за показ. Скажите пожалуйста, а где можно найти информацию с подробными размерами Wayne 60,70, 866.
