A Tulsa television station took a look inside the Heart of Route 66 Auto Museum in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, shortly after it opened to the public.
Fox 23 filed this report from the museum, which is just off Route 66 on the city’s west side:
Hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from noon till 4 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $5.
The big question that’s undoubtedly on many people’s minds, though is: When is that 66-foot-tall vintage gas pump going to be ready?
Here’s an artist’s rendering of the pump:
Obviously, it would entice a lot of potential tourists driving near the area, much like the 66-foot-tall pop bottle at Pops in Arcadia, Oklahoma.
I asked that question in an email to the museum. Lina Holmes replied; she said the gas pump was “at the mill” being fashioned. She wasn’t sure when it would be erected at the museum, but said guessed it would be six months.
