Anthony Toth, simulated old Pan Am 747 cabin, in his garage

Anthony Toth has spent twenty years $50,000 in creating a simulation of first class cabin of an old Pan Am 747 in his garage.He finds, the first class cabin of an old Pan Am 747 as the very quintessence of luxury. So he has spent the

Anthony got obsessed with Pan Am as a child, when he along with his parents frequently flew to Europe to visit family.For Anthony, Pan Am was the epitome of class and style.

Pan Am was once synonymous with international jet-setting, with upper-deck dining rooms and flight attendants dressed out in crisp blue uniforms, high heels and white gloves. First-class travelers were served out of silver-plated martini pitchers. A parade of linen-covered food carts made its way down the aisle at dinnertime.

Anthony saved things like the cardboard linings on food trays and recorded his trips in his camera and extensive tape recordings of the radio selection on board. "This consumed my world," said Tosh. As an adult, he works for United Airlines, and two years ago bought a home with an oversized garage in which he could build a faithful replica of Pan Am's first-class cabin. The project has taken him, in total, 20 years.

Anthony visited to a spot in Death Valley various times, where airplane carcasses are dumped, but the details of his project are unnervingly precise: The replica isn't open to the public, but if you visit (Tosh hosts executive meetings sometimes, appropriately enough), you'll be offered drink service and given a perfectly-crafted souvenir boarding pass prepared to match those used by the airline in the late '70s and early '80s. He's collected authentic Pan Am swizzle sticks and glasses. The overhead compartments are original Pan Am construction. Hell, he's even saved sealed packages of salted almonds (we have no evidence regarding the taste of 30-year-old almonds, but they're probably not for eating anyway).

The one concession he's made to the modern era? A flat-screen TV instead of the old-school projection Pan Am used. Everything else (save the stewardesses) is either original Pan Am or a custom-made replica. He's thinking to open his obsessive ode to Pan Am as a museum, but he seems perfectly content to just hang out in first class.
