Facility Overview
Car Emporium is situated along Greenwich Schuylerville Road (NY Route 29) on the eastern periphery of historic Schuylerville, New York. Functioning primarily as an automotive destination and vehicle facility, the property features an open-air, ground-level paved and gravel surface lot. Because the lot is entirely uncovered with no overhead ramps or low ceilings, it provides unobstructed vertical clearance. This makes the premises exceptionally accommodating for larger vehicles that often face height restrictions elsewhere, including standard passenger cars, lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, trades vans, and utility trailers.
