I figure if anyone has some obscure items relating to the infamous Coral Court motel in St. Louis, they would probably be on this forum. If you have any items, like room key rings, room numbers, ashtrays, glass blocks, really anything from there, shoot me a PM. thanks.

Wish I still had the car with the scrapes on the doors from trying to get out of the car in their very small garages, I would offer it to you. Actually, I have never seen anything for sale here in St. Louis, probably because there are a number of collectors here.
If whatever they were doing in there took more than an hour the phone would ring.

Some original Coral Court Motel glazed block, trim and glass block were salvaged and reconstructed at the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis County, Mo. Not for sale, but cool to see if you are in the area. The car is a 1941 Cadillac. My wife works 2 blocks from the original Coral Court location on old Route 66. We hated to see this architectural classic get torn down for a subdivision.
