Let's start out with the old Motor Inn in Springfield. It's a great example of an early car storage garage, and has a great sign too!

Just half a block down from the railroad station is this neat little building. I'm sure it was a gas station long before it was a barber shop.

Across the street from the Deep Rock is a warehouse with some really cool stuff inside. The pump is really cool.

You would need a big space for this one! Both pieces are there. The price is 600$ last time I asked. In OKC at a house salvage.
