MYGarage Museum
Imagine being able to bring home a Corvette ZR1 prototype. Or one of the VW Beetles used in the movie “Herbie Fully Loaded.” Dreamworthy stuff. The MYGarage Museum has a number of fascinating lots on offer, including Lot S6, a massive 6-foot porcelain “OK” button sign from the Chevrolet Used Cars campaign of so long ago. What makes this particular one so special is the mild concave and rounded-edge construction and, of course, it’s overall size. The story behind its acquisition in the 1990s is cool too. Take a look at Lot S6. - LEARN MORE!
