I think it is more like a 1.5 car garage the way those two bodies are squeezed together.

How do you get in and out of the car? Align it up as close as you can and push it in and pull it out with a rope????

Same here, when I put my pick up in the pole building I fold the mirror in case the tire would go flat and it would dent the hood on my old truck.

It's almost like if either of those cars had another coat of paint they would not fit.

With the price of lumber now, to build a larger garage, it may be less expensive to get smaller autos.

Wow, That is close. That Mirror should go before it does damage to the Coupe Body.

Same 2 car garage with 3 32s about 15 years ago. Yup that's the a 32 frame stuck to the wall. And if you have extra eagle eyes you might recognise the green lamp rescued from the debris of the defunct Edgewater NJ Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant.

That looks like a good problem to have too many 32s

Nope, actually did it by myself, leaned it against the wall, put a 5 ga bucket under one end, put a bucket under the other end, stepped it up by adding a bucket at each end. Had a makeshift removable bracket to hold it against the wall on the way up. Took a good hour. I needed the floor space.
