Last spring I posted photos of an old tow truck parked next to Evergreen Collision Center on Washington Street. A month or two later DH visited Evergreen and came home insisting that I’d find it a fascinating place. “Old cars. All kinds of interesting stuff.” Yeah. Right. Guy stuff.
Yesterday he finally prevailed and I’m glad he did. In some ways it defies description.
Imagine a mashup of childhood toys, a small museum, and a dream collection of 20th century autos and auto memorabilia. Then throw in a big helping of other nostalgia and you might come close to what two glassed in areas of Evergreen look like.
Evergreen’s owner is the collector, and what a collection! I’ll show you more in the next couple of days.
I remember some of those items. A walk down memory lane!
Those old gas pumps bring back memories for me. Thanks Kay.
The old gas pumps definitely have more character than any that are around these days. I much prefer the former creative and artistic way with recognisable icons to advertise the products.
My goodness, I could relive my entire childhood in those two acres! What a great find!
These are definitely blasts from the past!
What fun – I’m glad you finally went in. Looking forward to more photos.
