    Wife and kids picked this up for me at a second hand shop for $25. I thought that was reasonable for it. I believe it is from the late '50's or '60's. So now I display some of my cars on it. FB_IMG_1456450715283.jpg

    I think she got ripped off. To help out I'll give ya $30 and pick it up next trip to Illinois.:LOL:

    But you have to show me all your cars, let me sit at your work shop computer chair, and furnish some beer.
    I'm not taking my shoes off in the garage either!

    That's cool! I honestly wish they or another company (*coughMattel* *coughLesney*) had something like that when I was a kid.

    What a cool score. Those old tin gas station/ service centers are hard to come by. :thumbs2:

    Cool, just need a set of gas pumps.
    Marx makes a reproduction Sears Service Center. It's okay but not as nice as the old all tin deals.

    I have my 1979 Hot Wheels plastic service center. I am hoping to eventually display all of them and my cars in my garage.

    Loved playing with mine when I was about 5-6 or so.
