Default Lets See Your Garage !!!

I started this same thread over in the Pontiac forums when I had my Lemans. Two years later it is still one of the top threads with 25000 views and hundreds of posts.

I LOVE cool garages, mine is a work in progress. It has some cool stuff, but it also has a lot of crap in it still that needs to go away. I have my stereo and a TV out there and I hang out and watch movies and crank the tunes with a Guinness or a glass of wine.

So let's see where your C3's hang out.

Here is mine.....

You have a beautiful garage. Maybe you should put up a new sign that says "Corvette's Place".

If you look around there is all kinds of stuff. LOTS of Hudson memorabilia, that is my last name so I kinda collect the stuff.

As for Mopars, I like em. Almost had a unrestored 70 Superbird for 10 Grand about a year or so ago. Someday I'll tell that story. I was so excited for a few days I could not sleep.

Hard to see in this pic, but my garage has three bays in the front and 2 in the back. I have too much work to do on the vettes to decorate it..even though I do have plans to drywall and light it up better. It has a very powerful propane furnace mounted and it can go from 30 degrees to 65 in about 10 minutes. I currently have 3 vettes in there.

Not that far from me. Nice garage though! Does the floor still stay cold with that heater?

Here are some pictures of my Chevrolet dealership/museum. I have it set-up with a parts counter, waiting area, and new car salesman's desk. Everything is original Chevrolet GM dealership items with no reproductions. Double click on the picture for a larger image. Hope you enjoy!
Thanks,

The old place :


And the new place


The new place is a bit more cramped, but it has a lift, and more importantly, it has heat.

And do you really kick back with a Guiness or a glass of wine?? I thought that was a joke when I read the original post...I guess I just don't think of hangin' in the garage over a nice weekend job on the Corvette and "pouring myself a nice merlot."

I guess "to each his own" and if your man space is a place to have a nice glass of wine then so be it.

The concrete does warm up after a while..but it stays kinda cold. Are you from H-Ville? I think I talked to you on another site. Weren't you looking for a C4 or something?
