Dream Garages

By: Kris Palmer .

A garage is a special place—not home, not office, not rec room. It may combine elements of all of these reference points, yet it remains unique. Dreams are born, housed, revived, and realized within the walls and beneath the rafters of an enthusiast's garage. It is a haven from life's broader concerns, where work is not really work, and virtually anything seems possible.

Dream Garages explores this hallowed space, where enthusiasts store and work on the objects of their passion. Some of the structures are expansive, some more modest; some are working garages, others near spotless showcases of pristine machines and mechanical artwork and memorabilia. Pervading all the garages is a love of motor vehicles and an appreciation for the structure that allows us to harbor and revive them.

Here, readers will find enthusiasts who collect, preserve, and work on sports cars, race cars, motorcycles, trucks, speed record vehicles, and related machinery and treasures. Dream Garages is not a manual on building a great garage; it's a look at the ideas and passions that can make any garage great.
