Bob’s Gasoline Alley
The largest collection of Historic Route 66 gasoline memorabilia in the mid-west was started in 1995 by owner Bob Mullen and his wife Darlene both lovers of memorabilia from the 50’s/60’s era. Bob’s love and fascination for the old highway Route 66 started in his youth. Living next to the highway he enjoyed sitting on his front porch watching traffic going up and down the highway, wondering where they were all going in such a big hurry.
