I had to,
Burbank Studios.
It has changed a few times over the years, looking at vintage aerials it is hard to say if the structure is still there, as it is it is only half a structure (there is nothing beyond the roof ridge). About 1978 I had the opportunity to roam the studios and saw the Hazzard Garage in person.

Highway 25W Powell, TN. It's been restored, looks like it might have been a barber shop for a while, now it's an Airbnb. (according to the pic caption)

Last night when I posted the Hazzard Garage picture the location that the internet said it was didn't match what I remembered. Last night and this morning I looked through multiple different historic aerial sites but couldn't find one that was conclusive.
So I looked for videos that might have a clip that was more conclusive. I did find one that supported where I felt it was,
The first picture is a screen capture of them parked in front of Hazzard Garage (which I remembered being across from the Police Station). In this picture you can see the gazebo and the buildings in the town square.
This overhead picture shows an overhead orientation of this view.
An overall view showing both locations, the correct on in green (also showing the gazebo). The large building(s) attached to the "Garage" were not there at the time.
A current view of the correct location.
A current view of the screen capture, the porch next door hasn't changed much.
Wow, now I can sleep tonight.

"No, that 1939 Pontiac isn't a trick, an optical illusion. It's genuinely see-through, one of two that GM built for the 1939 and 1940 World's Fairs.
Or, at least, two that are known to have been built at the time of this article's publication in SIA #34, May-June 1976."
It's a very interesting car. There were two, one survives... Sold for over $300K a dozen years ago.how about that. neat find chief.
