That's From Disneyland! - Disneyland Memorabilia Pop-Up Exhibit and Auction

[robertpaulsen]

So much has changed at the park throughout the years and Neek, Sar and I have missed seeing some of the attractions from our childhood so when we heard that a Disneyland Memorabilia Pop-Up Exhibit was being held right nearby our home, we just had to visit. The exhibit will be open from August 1 to August 26, 2018 and the auction will take place on August 24 to 26.

1. The collector must have been an imagineer , or had inside connections

What a collection - I looked through the catalog and found a few items that I have in my own collection...but wish I could afford to get one of the ride vehicles...

2. Yeah, he was an agent for some Disney composers.

He represented, among others, Alan Menken, Danny Elfman and Richard M. Sherman.

We wish we could afford one of the ride vehicles too. We sure had fun in the Mr. Toad car!

4. I remember another animitronic Lincoln on the top floor of the Lincoln Savings headquarters...

... in Sherman Oaks. It may have been a temporary exhibit.

Lincoln Savings crashed and burned in the Savings and Loan scandals of the 'eighties.

5. S&Ls in California used to have lots of cool stuff.

My memory is that a number of S&Ls had artwork by Millard Sheets either inside or outside the establishment, particularly the Home Savings and Loan buildings. I wish I had seen the Lincoln you described.
