Keep your eyes on the look-out for this place as you cruise down the freeway. . . I LOVE places
like this! An outdoor emporium of chuck wagons, buggies, wheels, antiques, old cars, etc. I bought some old Ford
tools and came away happy! Must see. Featured HotSpot Sept 2005.

automobiles and transportation related antiques since 1954. His place is GREAT and full of books, art, old magazines,

Wow! This place is AWESOME. An eclectic mix of automobilia,
Hawaiian shirts, die-cast cars, high-end models, neon signs, automotive art, and motorsports stuff that could only exist in
Monterey. If you could take all the enthusiasim and madness of Monterey in August, and reduce it down to just one store
- this is it.

Okay, this one is a stretch because there's no Porsches or racecars, mostly tractors, farm

Touring Sedan. . . so what the heck.
