Does anyone happen to know where I can find the Length, width and height of a 36 standard town sedan? looking on online, all I can find is the wheelbase. Am working on plans to build a garage and don't have access to the car at this moment. Thanks

My '36 Standard Town Sedan 2-door measures 186' long (bumper guard to bumper guard, if you don't have bumper guards take 2" off) and the width is approximately 69" wide.

Standard garage with is 9' 8" by 18' for residential homes. That is plenty big if you have a Toyota size car. Personally, I have always built my garages 12' wide and 24' long. This allows a person to completely open the car door and step out with extra room for storage at one end. If you plan to have a work bench, tools and spare parts you will have to make more square footage in the floor plan. Especially if you are going to do any disassemble work.

When building a garage, bigger is always better. And, there is no such thing as a garage that is too big! yay

When building a garage think of a size then triple it. That still wont be big enough I can promise you.
