What do you do if you have an unused garage, extra money, and loads of spare time? If you are Anthony Toth you go ahead and create a Pan Am 747 garage.
I am not talking about a model airplane; I am talking about a full-scale replica of the first class cabin of one of these bad boys. And the Pan Am 747 garage is detailed—it has everything a first class cabin from the 70s would have, including a curved, red carpeted staircase. Where does the staircase go? Does it matter?
Answer: No, it doesn’t, 'cause after almost 20 years of work, and $50,000 spent, this is a project of love.
