The Nethercutt Museum has a section that is a replication of an early car dealership (like the photos from Shorpy)

For the Shorpy photos of dealerships, check out an interior https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiFopDxm48kA54TvU-4JIt0bR3-reXNe1F7G2e4DVyO8_FCNG1oSYLCv6Hg7K4z2cVS1zyE-I6e6Gvejtf-NI7dDYXY1ujVk6-w63E71uZLGBhps89VgGktYNAtyYPCUgU1lAsLTcNTgQ/s1600-h/cars8.jpg or two in this post: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/11/automobiles-of-20s-and-before-from.html or an exterior: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/03/impressive-car-dealershp-architecture.html

Woman motorcycle cops, I just learned why we never see them except in movies

Women aren't generally interested in being cops, so very few cops are women. Of the women that want to be cops, few want to be on patrol. Of those that patrol, few can ride a motorcycle. Of the extemely few women in law enforcement that are on patrol, and can ride a motorcycle... few of them can lift a law enforcement spec motorcycle. A race bike maybe, but not a fully equipped motorcycle the cops ride, and have to lift from the ground as a requirement of the training course for motorcycle cops. And that is a train of events that creates a scarcity of women motorcycle cops
