There may be hope, however, since someone seems to be working on the old wreck. Clearly, humour is the order of the day on the grounds of the Sinclair Gay Parita. George, usually on hand to welcome tourists, is friendly, personable and has evidently inherited his father-in-law's sense of humour, a characteristic that helped make the place famous in the first place.

If you make a stop at this site which has become a top tourist stop, you just about sure to come across someone on hand to welcome you; in fact the owners of the place live in a house just behind the station. A piece of the home can be seen in our photo featuring  this Dodge truck that left its best days behind long ago.

In much, much better shape than the Dodge is this heavy truck belonging to the first years of production of the first generation of Ford’s F-Series models (1948-1950). It rests inside another building that is a museum in itself with its many artifacts.
