This amazing collection of vintage auto and diner related items even includes a gasoline pump from 1914! Please respect the homeowner and only visit during daylight hours.
The back-story about the house goes like this:
One day the owner of this ranch-style home thought "Wouldn't it be neat if I made a little gas station out front?" That's how it began, from a yard in a white picket fence neighborhood into a 1950s-style gas station complete with pumps from the past, check out those gas prices! Mark also thought "every old gas station had a diner" so he converted his front porch into one. During your visit check out the side yard and see what he's done to a 1956 Olds 88. There was an article in the October 29, 2002 National Enquirer Magazine. In the article it told how the neighbors are cool about his remodel, even Woodlanders drive their guests by to see it. The only one not pumped up about the project is his son. Mark says, with a smile "my son, calls me 'psycho dad.'
