222:"Charley (sometimes spelled Charlie) Diaz built the garage himself out of pumice blocks in 1943 along Santa Fe Avenue—Grants’ section of Route 66–amid a burgeoning strip of hotels, shops, and gas stations. According to the register application for the garage, Diaz later decided to specialize in two automobile components vital to New Mexico travelers–radiators and, eventually, air-conditioning systems–and, in 1949, added a small cafe for his great uncle to run. After Diaz’ death in 1995, the garage and many of the tools Diaz used, dating back to when it opened, remained in place." 50: 63: 810: 821: 70: 845: 920: 699: 794: 730: 714: 935: 704: 905: 789: 735: 376: 756: 658: 689: 623: 588: 663: 568: 528: 353: 628: 618: 613: 593: 709: 543: 458: 852: 578: 573: 448: 668: 633: 538: 513: 653: 603: 583: 558: 548: 533: 523: 508: 488: 463: 453: 443: 673: 648: 553: 493: 473: 468: 438: 428: 608: 563: 503: 478: 433: 100: 740: 638: 518: 483: 694: 643: 598: 498: 940: 406: 391: 346: 422: 930: 208:, a gift from Diaz to his wife.
