I always forget to take pictures while I’m there to show y’all. Today I remembered.
Remnants of the ramp to the maintenance shop that used to be on the second floor. I’m curious if you all can guess what make of cars were sold here? (They have a whole wall of ads for said brand)

You’re more than welcome to go steal it, lol. Better pic of the building:
The central large window on the second floor has a massive turntable where they displayed cars.

Danget! I literally guessed everything else. I am soo jealous of that building though. They did a hell of a job on the design.

The platform is, but no more turntable sadly, there’s a conference table instead.

An architect in my area converted an old service station (named Auto Palace) to his office:
If you look closely even the lowered sidewalk for the cars to drive on is still present
