Description
This image is a digital painting of the Classical Gas Museum in Embudo, New Mexico. Numerous vintage gas pumps are the focal point of the image. Classical Gas is a museum dedicated to the great American filling station. Museum owner and curator Johnnie Meier, a retired Los Alamos science and technology geek, is an avid collector of old and oily artifacts that might have otherwise wound up in a landfill. He sits on the editorial boards of "American Road" and "Route 66" magazines and also writes freelance pieces for several hot rod publications. Within the Classical Gas collection are colorful oil cans, signs with thermometers, gas pumps and crowns and globes that capped the pumps, old photos and postcards of gas stations, old license plates, ashtrays set into miniature tires, and toy cars, trucks and model gas stations. There are even some 1940s-era Firestone spark plugs in the original box stating that the electrodes contain "radioactive" polonium, the same material recently blamed for the poisoning and death of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko. Classical Gas is a photographer's and car lover's dream.
The Fine Art America logo will not appear on your finished product.
