We ❤️ great car stories, especially ones that involve the Vintage Mobil Gas Station!

Our Vintage Mobil Station has become such a fun spot for senior pictures, wedding photos, Christmas cards and more, but we had to share the story behind this recent senior session.

Braleigh decided when she was just 5 years old that someday she was going to own a Nash Metropolitan.

By 8, she had joined the Metropolitan Club.

At 10 years old, she bought her first one — the red Metropolitan pictured here — with only a small loan from Mom and Dad. She then worked to pay that loan back herself by making and selling hand-sewn products. 🚗

And apparently one Metropolitan wasn’t enough. 😄

At 13, she bought the teal one and even used those sewing skills to create a custom interior for it herself.

Now, a few years later, she brought both cars to the Vintage Mobil Station for her senior pictures, which feels like a pretty perfect full-circle moment. ⛽

Not many people can say they owned two classic cars before they were even old enough to drive. We love seeing young people who are genuinely excited about the hobby, and Braleigh is definitely a car girl through and through!

Thank you to Braleigh and her family for letting us share these awesome photos and her story.

Braleigh, we hope you have an amazing senior year — enjoy every minute of it! ❤️🚗

We didn’t have much merchandise left after the show, so these items are being made to order by our supplier and items will start to ship in September. At this time, there is not a closing date for the online store. It will remain open for a bit and we'll send out another email prior to closing as a reminder, but we recommend ordering your merch now so you don't forget.
