Dana Mecum’s 39th Original Spring Classic Auction is coming up May 8-16, 2026 and is jam packed with fabulous cars and collectibles. On May 11, the Ron U’Ren Oil and Gas Collection will cross the block and should be of interest to any motoring collector, especially those with an interest in petroliana. Comprised of 50 lots, each containing one or a few items within, the Collection is a lovely amassment of pieces from various brands, all in very presentable, even restored condition. Buyers enjoy the baby, not the labor pain. One of our favorites is Lot Y299 a 1950s Standard White Crown Tokheim Model 39 Gas Pump. Painted red with a lighted crown globe and face, the nozzle and hose are also beautiful. Amazing piece for any collector, seasoned or just beginning. One thing we love about the Model 39 is its compact nature, it’s honestly at home in the living room and serves as a spectacular night light. No kidding.
For those of you looking for a little more timely auction action and a motoring array like no other, slide on over to Mecum On Time and check out the multitude of auctions going on. Ranging from posters and signs to diecast and more, one of the cool auctions is the Speedway Auto Mall Collection. With over 130 lots on offer, there is something for everyone and every budget, ranging from paper products to tin to diecast and more.
