Gay Parita Sinclair Station, a replica of an old Sinclair gas station with vintage trucks, cars, gas pumps, signs and other great memorabilia. Fred Watson named the jumble of art deco gas stations after his wife Gay, and over the years, it became one of the favorite stops along Route 66. Alas, it all burned down in 1955, and only really came back from the dead thanks to Gary Turner, who added the kind of petroleum-stained antique chic I’ve come to expect on the Mother Road.
