Yaphank Garage

This garage situated off exit 67 on the LIE is still in need of more research to the history of it. I was able to make a trip there today to snap some pictures and Ii lucked out, there was someone there.

The garage was restored to look like the full service stations of the past. Inside sits a mannequin at a desk, a german Shepard statue ( remember the old Commander Trucks?) and many old cans and bottles. the garage area houses vehicles belonging to the SCPD Museum. there's an old Highway patrol Harley Davidson, a 1930's and 1980's era Plymouth and even a 1990's Highway patrol Chevy camaro. Outside the garage is a 1930's era Tow truck slated to be restored, not pristine but to look like a working truck would when the station was operational.

Much more research needs to be done on this garage and if anyone has any info feel free to contact the webmaster.

Here's some photos for your enjoyment while the staff of Bygone Long island continues researching the history.
