And your garage door/floor mechanism......
If it is white, then it comes from either parts packs #235 or #236 (only #236
has the named GARAGE beam that goes with it).... although come to think of it,
the #235 and #236 series of sets continued until 1972, but with a gray garage
floor/door mechanism after 1965. If the garage parts are gray, check the #235
and #248 Lugnet database entries to see which one it more closely matches.
