The World's Largest Covered Wagon gas station is abandoned in Milford, Nebraska.

Created by Kenneth Dahle in 1978, the wagon measured 50 feet long and 50 feet high with 24 foot tall wheels. It lasted only twenty years and closed in 1998. The wheels were removed in 2000 and in 2001, the muffler man was sold. Today, it sits vacant. Source
