I had forgotten about this vintage Fisher-Price garage that I had as a child until I found a very battered example in the toy cupboard at baby bear's playgroup. Instantly I wanted one for her. Upon arriving here one of the first things I did was got on ebay and bought one. It came with the four cars and little people, the gas pump intact, decals in fair condition and with the grease rack. My only disappointment is that the bell in the elevator doesn't make quite the same ping that I recall.
I loved this toy as a child. I love remembering this. I love it now too. (Oh, and so does baby bear - she is allowed to play with it!)

Oh my stars. I love fisher price! this is super adorable. I want all those little people to come to my house and play!
I've tagged you! Read my blog--and don't hate me too much :)...
I remember playing with one of these when I was a kid.
Yes, yes! I had friends and cousins who had this toy, but alas, I never owned one. I would play with it endlessly whenever I visited them. Thanks for reminding me of those happy hours
I too, have bought vintage Fisher Price for my child on Ebay.
my brother (now 41) had one of these when we were little, but the people were wooden! I watched my mom sell all of our fisher price toys at yard sales. I had the farm, the school house, the people house, the garage, the airport, the airplane, the school bus....sigh.
