Great pic of Mickey Thompson repairing Challenger1's trailer in Wendover, Utah. 1960
The car had made a one way run at 406MPH and with a driveshaft failure not allowing him to make the return run for the record. The first Challenger - an LSR legend
Same station.

Sort of a garage. One of the restored hangars.
This one, built 1931, is at Floyd Bennett Airfield, Brooklyn NY. An art deco gem, several or the hangars and administrative buildings on the grounds.
Very colorful history in US Armed forces, including Coast Guard, and NYC air asset deployments (e.g., helicopters, small craft, etc). Both Howard Hughes and Amelica Earhart flew out of Floyd Bennett in the 1930's
The sources overflow with facts/figures. Designated a national historical location, several of the the buildings are being readied for their second century.

Two Art Deco Airport Hangars Restored In New York | National Trust for Historic Preservation
1933 - Wiley Post, with his Lockheed Vega in front of this hangar, before the first ever "solo" round-the-world plane flight. Post and Will Rogers were killed in a crash in Alaska in 1935.
1938 - Unidentified man in front of this hangar with a Focke-Wolfe Fw 200 S-1"Brandenburg" Condor. Obviously a German plane, before WWII made such a visit impossible.
1940's - A Grumman J2F Duck parked in front of this hangar.
Advertised as this same hangar in 1960's

Dunno history, asserted to be the Dulnain Bridge Garage, art deco (yes), and built in 1930's.
First pic in 2007, so alleged to be 70+ years old then.
I like it as "hobby house" sized place. Its about 16K sq. ft. under roof ('cept can't get me parlor diesels in there, tho looks like parking in back -- and oh, its in the UK too
).
If one could get all that "paint-over-brick", from the years of whatever its been through, there's probably a nice brick and limestone facade.
I had to go on a mission to find it: Grantown-on-Spey, PH26 3LT, United Kingdom. Getting ready to play "Where's the Car Parked" game next month - its spring again
alleged to be 2007
