Pictured: The Midas Muffler Shop opened in 1960 at 520 York Street in Vallejo, adjacent to the Greyhound Bus Station. The building was originally the repair garage for Greyhound buses. Prior to that, a different building at that location housed the first Vallejo Jewish Synagogue from 1920 to 1947. Initially Midas Muffler only sold and installed mufflers, exhaust and tailpipes, but later expanded to seatbelts and shock absorbers. In the early 1980’s the shop, under new ownership, relocated to 3211 Sonoma Blvd. in Vallejo.

He is considered to be the city of Vallejo's true founder due to his many efforts to promote the growth of the city. Photo courtesy of the Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum.
