LANCASTER, Ohio – If you’ve ever wondered what it was like to drive a car in the 1930s, you don’t have to scour the country for an authentic 1932 Ford V-8 or Cabriolet Plymouth Model 30U. Simply stop by Lancaster, Ohio, to visit the Lancaster Old Car Club’s 1930s gasoline station museum on the Fairfield County Fairgrounds, the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette reports.

Visitors are greeted by two vintage gasoline pumps guarding the outside of the building. Inside the station, you can peruse vintage spark plug testers, lighted globes, oil cans, license plates and an automotive diagnostic machine.

“People say, ‘I remember seeing stuff like this when I was a kid,’” said Roger Knight, a car club board member. “Or, ‘My grandpa had one of those.’ That type of thing.”

He mused that as many of the old stations have disappeared or been converted into self-serve pumps, something else went away. “Back in the '30s, it was kind of a gathering place,” said Knight. “People came and would sit around the old potbelly stove and told their stories. Not much of that goes on anymore.”

The club started in 1957 and opened the museum 22 years later. The museum stays open during fair week, along with a few other times during the year.
