Wow. I had completely forgotten about driving over the black hose that rang the bell. Thanks for that Lou! What a great car collection and museum. Labor of Love.
@@rudolphguarnacci197 it's the little things like the ding ding of the service station hose that ya just don't hear anymore that really take ya back. I miss those sounds of yesteryear, the creaking spring and slam of an old wooden screen door are also sounds ya don't hear anymore, just like that ding ding!!!
Remarkable. That Shell service station is very well represented. Probably like a 1940’s one would have looked back then. Thank you very much Lou, for taking the time and effort to bring us these treasures of old time America.
Hi Billace 90, Happy to read you enjoy the Episodes on the Museum. My pleasure sharing with you, you're welcome, and appreciate the kind words on the effort to video and share, Lou
Thanks Lou for this video coverage. I would have never been able to see this car museum in person, but I have through your lens. Great work by Gilmore staff and volunteers. It would take me a month of Sundays to throughly explore and view the entire museum. And it is so well done, it is a must that the complete museum be seen. This is not an afternoon visit. Thanks again.
Thank you again for sharing this amazing collection with us. So much eye candy in a short video. Very cool to see the old cars I recognise, but even more cool to see many brands I did not know about. The toys are very cool also. I will definately have to add this destination to the bucket list. Take care Lou.
Hi Russell, Happy to share the cars with you, and I agree, many cars I did not know about, and it's so much FUN learning :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and hope you get to see the Museum on-site soon, Lou
Hello Lou: We had a small town gas and service station much like that one, this would have been mid 1950`s to around late seventies when he owned it, not sure about when he bought it i was not born yet.. the pumps were changed eventually but I remember them. The owner was an immigrant by the name of Juneiti St. Juliana. (not sure of the spelling) he was a heck of a guy who my dad said married his older sister in law at a very young age, after his older brother was killed in WW2..(I believe that was expected back then)? he raised their two children and had seven more of their own, one of his daughters was in my class from kindergarten to graduation, a real classic Italian beauty. The man always brought me out a candy when mom filled up when I was small.. and he would sing beautifully in Italian while working. Such memories I had forgotten over time.. Thanks for posting this it was awesome to see. got a tear in my eye remembering his singing voice unless my wife is cutting onions maybe?
Wow love the shell has station it reminds me when my dad use to work for hess back in the mid to early 70s my dad said that he learned how to work cars by working at hess and his friend from the army then he passed what he knew to me love anything related to auto mobiles and history
What a great series you’ve done at the Gilmore Car Museum! Brought back some good memories for a lot of folks, but also a great tour for learning about our automotive history. Thanks Lou & the Gilmore Car Museum for helping us appreciate the past.
Such a great museum and thanks for the series Lou. Everything there is represented so well, the people who work there have got a dream job for sure, I would be playing with that slot car track all day!!! Lol. 🙂
Very good video - what a great museum. The Shell station is impeccable. Remember the pumps from the ‘70s with the glass bubble so you can see the gas going in? What was with the obsession of seeing the gas? Fun video and fantastic series Lou- thanks!
Hi Jeff, Happy to read you enjoy this Museum. Glad to read this brings back memories of the pumps. Not sure of the gas obsession. My pleasure sharing these Episodes with you, and you're welcome, Lou
Thank you Lou, for this wonderful tour of the Gilmore Museum! What a great six part series. Some of us viewers are going to make a point of visiting there, thanks to your excellent preview. I always loved gas station branding. Shell was one of the best!
Thank you, Lou! Like you, there were several makes of cars I had never heard of... I wonder how many got bought out and integrated into the brands of the eventual “Big 3”? I now have another place to add to my bucket list to visit! Cheers from Ohio, John
That diner looked great! I can just imagine the ham & eggs and the bottomless coffee cups. I also liked that '17 Mercer. It looks like it was built for speed back in its day. Thanks for all the great videos at the Gilmore, Lou!
Lou installment 6 was just awesome. I loved the recreated Shell Gas station and the old diner. I loved loved the race car track could spend hours up there as I had a track at home that I loved in HO scale. Those old cars on all floors were just spectacular and I so enjoyed each and every one! The old car models in metal and plastic I so enjoyed seeing. Just a wonderful presentation you gave us. And thanks for sharing for us to see and thanks to the Gilmore for allowing it for us to see. I so enjoyed the whole series Lou and I hope you get to do another museum like this again. Just breathtaking some of that stuff in the series and thanks Lou again for sharing to us!
Hi William, Welcome back :-) Glad you enjoy this visit to the Museum and hope you see all the Episodes. My pleasure sharing the Museum with you, and you're welcome, Lou
Lou, you have really out-done yourself, this is the most awesome collection of any vehicles i've ever seen. it isn't every day someone takes the time to put out a series such as this. This is the only collection of "all-time" motor vehicles all in one series I've ever come across.I sure hope that if you can out-do this, I'll be there, I've saved every episode to watch over and over again. You're tops in the classic category for automobiles. Forever thanks to you, and will be watching for even more classics!!
Loving this so far but...had to stop and ask at the 6:50 mark...How in THE WORLD did they get those cars up those stairs?!?! Answer: Very carefully. 😂😂
I just loved this gas station. When we first visited the Gilmore I had never even heard of it, I happened to see it in a magazine shortly before our visit to the area. They need to talk it up as it’s the best automotive museum that I have ever visited.
Hi Lou! Thank you for one more Masterpeace video about the Gilmore Museum! It's very exciting to follow your camera! Never know what you will show next! Surprise, surprise! :)
Hi, Lou! Love that old Shell station exhibit. I imagine they must have had to reach far and wide to get all the pumps and old parts and things to make it complete. And THERE are the Checkers! As I said before, there had to be at least a few to be shown in Kalamazoo. I think I'd have to take driving lessons all over again to learn how to operate one of those brass era cars! Great conclusion to this fun trip through time! ILL CYA in the next episode! P.S. 25:15 ROAD HOG!
Hi iswc27, I think you're right, the Shell Station was probably a big undertaking to make it look so complete. Yes, driving a brass era car, I would need instruction. I think I'm going to see if I can find a brass era car to drive, and see what that's like. ILL CYA, Lou
Thanks for the tour Lou. I'd be there for a few days to see everything. I tend to linger. Visited the USAF museum in Dayton 3 times and haven't seen it all

A friend father back in the MID 90s had a gasstation that was built in 1928. Had the peak roof and originally had the gravity feed pumps in the day.Was in Sarnia Ontario but long gone just a couple porald photos all that are left.I do rember going to the Gas station as a kid and getting a $1.00 worth of Gas which barely fit in the gallon steel Gas can.🙂 Great museum!

Gilmore is the best. Absolutely fantastic museum. They also have a cruise in on Wednesday nights during the summer with high turnout as well as a muscle car show every September. I made a video of the muscle car cruise in 2018 if you want a sense of the quality of cars that people bring. Thanks for the video!
This multi-level barn / hall is really cool. Not enough love for 1920's and 30's cars, they have some nice ones. Star, 1917 Cole, never heard of either, good stuff.
Wow thus was the time when gasoline had tetra ethyl lead to boost octane levels in fuel my dad told me in the late 50s gas was 19 cents a gallon by the late 60s it was about a quarter a gallon wow mind blowing
