There’s a very cool clock just outside the lobby of Evergreen Collision Center. My photos aren’t what I’d hoped they’d be but the clock is just too interesting to not get a mini moment of fame.

It’s a connecting rod on a piston. From an engine. An enormous engine.
(There’s a gumball machine through the window behind it. The color is similar; don’t let that confuse you.)

On a long shelf across a window at Evergreen Collision Center there is an array of model racing cars, each probably around a foot long. They are backed on the shelf by an array of other interesting miniatures.

There’s a big assortment of other small trucks and service vehicles, Coca Cola memorabilia, signs, and more.

We simply showed up and asked to see this amazing collection, not realizing that it wasn’t an open display. Be more polite than we were. I’d recommend if you’re eager to view it that you give them a call first to see when they might best be able to accommodate your request. Prepare to be amazed.

Last spring I posted photos of an old tow truck parked next to Evergreen Collision Center on Washington Street. A month or two later DH visited Evergreen and came home insisting that I’d find it a fascinating place. “Old cars. All kinds of interesting stuff.” Yeah. Right. Guy stuff.

Yesterday he finally prevailed and I’m glad he did. In some ways it defies description.

Imagine a mashup of childhood toys, a small museum, and a dream collection of 20th century autos and auto memorabilia. Then throw in a big helping of other nostalgia and you might come close to what two glassed in areas of Evergreen look like.

Evergreen’s owner is the collector, and what a collection! I’ll show you more in the next couple of days.
