My example is built from contemporary cellulose acetate parts, with the exception of the small white plates underneath. These aren't part of the original design, but were added to have the garage match the height of the dealer pavilion.
The sides of the garage have the same small windows as the dealer pavilion has; the rear has a pair of transparent bricks.
The garage came in a boxed set with a pair of VW Beetles (long version) and a pair of traffic signs as shown above - a stop sign and a parking sign. I don't know if the cars came in specific colours or not. The box lid shows a parked silver one plus another of indistinct colour inside.
Below is the garage as illustrated in the 1958 folder, Belgian edition. 90 francs would buy a dozen loaves of bread back then. Building instructions for the garage are easily found on the internet.
