Despite popular belief, there are nice and fancy garages in Tennessee, but ours is NOT one of them. Our house was originally built in the late 1700s (log house) then moved and rebuilt/modernized in 1999) and it did not have a built on garage.

These are horrible pictures of the garage, but all I have... this was last year. The car is not this dirty now. Also, this was before we got it enclosed and floored.




This is the only outside shot - its on the other side of the car. This is about the only place for a car to be stored in it... the rest is enclosed storage and a workshop on the back side. We are getting ready to start on a 3-car garage at the end of the driveway.... hopefully. This will be torn down then.

Thats amazing mileage for a car of that size. They are a little bigger than they look in the ads. Those did get a little bigger for 58'. I wonder if the MPG went down alot?

Here is a color ad...



I bet this 58' Buick Estate Wagon gets about 10 mpg - maybe!
