Bill Shea started working for Texaco after he returned from World War Two. Since then he and his family have amassed a ton of stuff.

This "Ice Box" porcelan enamel Texaco station, along with another station they relocated onto the property, is now a museum dedicated to all things automotive.

This place is a must stop along the Mother Road.
Gasoline Brand: Man! You name it, they got it!
