Interesting photo, I'd not seen it before. What's the source for the photo?
Our local car club visited the Rockefeller estate over in Westchester County (NY), Kykuit, 2 years ago and got a special tour of the carriage house which still contains quite a collection of the family cars. We also had a tour of the carriage house of the Vanderbilt estate up along the Hudson above Poughkeepsie which housed the family's Cadillac V16 town car and a huge Crane-Simplex.

I found the photo at:
images.google.com/hosted/life You can type in "Rockafeller Garage" and it comes up. There is also pictures of the car wash they had inside the garage.

Interesting two-tone paint on the 1940 180 in the foreground of the first picture. I see a 1940 convertible sedan in the back.

I live in northern-eastern New Jersey, just a few miles west of the GW bridge and a few miles south of the Tappan Zee bridge. Been here 68 years but never heard of Fort Mott - where is (was) it? Obviously not familiar with it. The longest-running show in this area is AACA's Jersey Region meet, with I believe it's 60th annual coming up. It's in Florham Park (near Morristown) at Automatic Switch Co., a firm owned and operated for many years by Dutch Darrin's brother.
