 * Greetings! I know you've waited a few months for a review, but I have good news! I'm stuck in a tin can for 5 hours tomorrow late night UTC, so I'm going to use that time wisely to review this article. I expect to have the review posted in the early morning hours UTC the following day. (Approximately less than 36 hours from this post.) I look forward to reading and reviewing this article.

Lead

 * Link "trucking" to Road transport as the term trucking is U.S. centric and may not be understood everywhere.
 * I'm not sure what impetus means, especially in that context.
 * "The museum's final day was on July 20, 2010." It would read better if it said "...final day of operation was..."
 * Add a comma after Boston Globe.
 * All done. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:53, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

History

 * "son in law" should be son-in-law
 * Does Francis Guerrera's son-in-law have a name? If so include it.
 * Don't recall seeing it, and privacy and relevancy issues aside - it'd be public records to get that and that's a big no-no. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:53, 16 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Add a semi colon after "its entire operation". Add an apostrophe (') for museum's and remove the word "that" so it would say: "...its entire operation; the museum's operating costs were covered..."
 * Unless Cruise Night is the proper name of a specific event it should not be capitalized. If it is a proper name, it should not be referred to as "a" Cruise Night.
 * This is a bit odd, even if it is a proper name for a specific event, the fact it is not singular still allows "a". I've reorganized it as a result to clear up the wording, but the "a" remains as of the moment. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:53, 16 July 2014 (UTC)


 * What has happened to the collection? If you know/can find out, it should be included.
 * This is obviously tough, coverage went when the museum closed, but much of it appears to have been set for its return to the rightful owners (or donators, for instance) and Guerrera's personal collection has been retained. Though I can't find anything concrete. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:53, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Impact

 * Were there any effect or impacts to tourism? Do we know/have this information?
 * Sorta covered in the article, but overall impact was minimal. The last two sentences of Impact are all I could get, and even then, it is not a subject likely to generate prolonged interest or a study. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:53, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Images
Disclaimer: This whole section is just me ranting about the lack of photos and does not in any way affect the GA status of this article.  TLSuda  (talk) 18:24, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
 * This article really should have images, but they are not required to pass GA criteria. Judging from Google's street view, the building has been changed to "Glasses Galore."
 * Ooh. Good to know, sad I never got to go when it was open. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:53, 16 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Someone could reach out to the owners of www.goldenagetruckmuseum.com/ to see about releasing that one photo under a free license. That website could also be linked from an External links section.
 * The website is rather odd, its like a dated artifact and I am not sure of its ownership. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:53, 16 July 2014 (UTC)


 * You could also include photos of vehicles of the same or similar model to what was in the collection.
 * Seems the entirety of the area is devoid of pages and content, but yes this does have a bright future. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:53, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * The article is very well written and you've tackled my requests and answered my questions, so I'm happy to promote this to Good Article.  TLSuda  (talk) 03:14, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
