“Route 66's oldest gas station,”

Allegedly Route 66's oldest gas station, now a Route 66 museum.

A favorite photo stop for Route 66 travelers from around the world, Shea’s is a charming and eclectic collection of over half a century of gas station memorabilia. Owner Bill Shea is always eager to share his stories about his collection and his life over 50 years alongside Route 66. He’s become an international celebrity, as noted by his guestbook, signed by visitors from around the world. Leave plenty of time to browse through his collection of photos, soak in the humor of his homemade signs, and hear some of his fascinating tales.

Be ready to hear some stories as Bill Jr will talk your ear off with great tales from his dad's life along Route 66. If you like old gas pumps like I do you'll go nuts over their massive collection.

Mr. Shea passed away and the memorabilia was auctioned off. Very sad.
