The butt glazed glass system provides a monolithic glass wall.

The 1st floor contains retail areas, sales and service offices, two wash bays, nine service bays, two alignment bays, a customer lounge with coffee/vending area, children’s playroom, cashier area, storage and tool room, break room, restroom facilities, as well as service write-up and warranty offices featuring two high speed roll-up doors.

Incorporated into the interior of the showroom are several areas for displaying new vehicles and a designated platform for the Owner to exhibit his own antique Ford. New finishes include laminate and solid surface countertops, a complete painting package, vinyl wall covering, acoustical wall panels and ceilings, ceramic tile, carpet, resilient flooring, and epoxy flooring. A complete mechanical, electrical, and plumbing system will be included in this project in conjunction with site lighting and a fire alarm system.
