No one will notice that it's illegally parked!

Thank you for the information. I wasn't thinking that old (for whatever reason) so now I'll see it differently from now on. It's about 3 blocks from where I live. The building probably won't last much longer.

I would hate to have a burst radiator hose in that thing.

I've never seen a semi slide UNDER the car it rear-ended.

Preparation H won't work on door jambs, interiors, etc. Not for internal use.

Wish something like this would come out of my woodwork. I just get sawdust...

I wonder how it stops.
Air brakes.

Just parking? "Road" doesn't look driven on at all.

No oil drips yet but that's mostly due to the garage being 51 feet deep with a gravel driveway out the backside to the alley! The pretty driveway faces the street.

Well, I do have a '67 Fiat 500. It's plenty big!

No painted center line but I was really impressed (and a bit nervous) when the guy who cut the center joint down the length (80 ft) did it by eye and it was perfectly straight and centered. Whew. I do love the painting rig!

FIAT: Finally I'm almost there.
Oh, and Fiat never officially sanctioned the name Topolino. The public named it and it stuck.

Thank you oldford. I know this old garage was standing in 1923 so your information seems spot on.

I turned these up (literally) in my yard the other day and was curious as to their age. My wife and I purchased an old house last fall and the garage (22x51) was obviously a working automobile service business at least back as far as 1923, maybe earlier. It's great seeing where past mechanics made notes on the old cabinet doors about which car needed what back into the 1930s. Thanks for the help. I'm planning on going to the historical society and seeing what I can learn once this virus thing is over.
Cheers!

The two flat metal wrenches side-by-side with the hexagon openings are just like the wrench I have for changing the blade on my table saw.
