Peterson's Garage Sculptures

Peterson's Garage in Egg Harbor City is a nice place to stop on your way to Atlantic City, or other shore towns. It is on the White Horse Pike In Egg Harbor City, about 19 miles from A.C. Outside is a T-Rex sculpture, Pterodactyl sculpture, a ten foot tall medieval knight, and various tin men. In the garage's waiting room you will see car couches which were made by the resident sculptor/mechanic, Tom Peterson.
