A new member asked me to photograph some old Dominion Royal Master tires for him, that were advertised on the local kijiji site.
Well, I contacted the seller and he gave me directions to his place. It's in a tiny little community called Oakdale, about 20 minutes from Petrolia. I asked for his address, and all he said was, take BentPath Line and look for the 1930's-themed garage. I wouldn't miss it.
Sure enough, this is what I came across. Cool eh ?
Here is some of the tires he has for sale. These are 40 year old Dominion Royal Masters. 15 in x 8.3, I think. They're like brand new. 90% tread, at least.
The garage is quite a little museum. Really neat. I want to go back sometime. The owner tells me, he was recently profiled on Old autos TV.

ive seen that place before and wanted to stop and take a peek but you just never know how people are sometimes. I really need to remember to bring my camera with me to work so when i see these places or cars i can throw them up here for everyone.
Scott It's amazing what adventure is just around the next corner. Looks like he's been collecting stuff for years, must be a character. I only talked to him on the phone, had no idea he had all this . I knew he was a hoarder because of the Royal Masters, but not all this. I wonder what other Goodies lay behind these CLOSED DOORS. Bob

That is soooooo cool! I love these kind of places! Before I moved to PEI, I bought out a hardware store, located @ Queen & Lansdowne in Toronto, that was closed in the '70s ... you should see my collection of 50's, 60's, 70's fasteners, plumbing stuff, hardware sundries/displays, paint supplies, sandpaper etc. It probably cost me thousands to move it to PEI, but well worth it.
