The base itself is a 3-story parking garage with a masonite base, a white ramp, and a 3-story elevator. The elevator is operated by a crank on the side and a bell rings as the elevator moves moves up and down.

When the Garage set was first introduced, it was sold with a cardboard service van to store the accessories into. The van was designed to be like the storage silo used on the #915 Farm, but the cardboard box is nowhere near as sturdy, therefore, discontinued shortly after it was introduced. There is another small rectangular box that was sold with this set...plain cardboard with red print on the sides. Fisher-Price may had replaced the cardboard service van with the smaller cardboard box for a short time. Neither the van nor the small box were ever pictured nor mentioned in the dealer catalogues, but both are quite rare and by far the hardest pieces in this set to find.

• JMPP - The red African-American boy could also have a light or coral red body opposed to a medium red body.
• All years, the cars came in matching sets of four with either white tops and colored bottoms, or vise versa. A complete set should have all 4 cars with either a white top, or white bottom, not mixed. Earlier cars had "Fisher Price" marked on the wheels, and later versions did not.
