LEGO 236 Garage with Automatic Door is a Classic set released in 1956, comprising 69 pieces. The model represents a small, brick-built garage structure with a white base and door frame, along with red and clear bricks forming the walls and windows. Its main feature is a functional “automatic” garage door operated by an internal counterweight system that allows it to open and close smoothly without motorization. Although officially cataloged as a 1956 release, production began as early as 1955 in Europe, and the set remained available until around 1966. It did not include a vehicle and was nearly identical in design to LEGO 1236-2 Garage with Automatic Door, differing mainly in regional numbering and packaging. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $394 within the next year.
Garage with Automatic Door (236-1) is an exceptionally old and rare LEGO set. It has not been available online or in retail stores in good/new condition for over 2 years. Due to its rarity, the estimated value in sealed condition of $370.59 may understate its true worth, assuming one can even be found for sale. Since this set was released in 1956, finding it sealed and well-preserved is exceptionally difficult—making complete sets with intact boxes museum-grade collectibles.
There are currently no new/sealed listings available for Garage with Automatic Door at this time.
