I think you've got a hot idea. How about a hi-tech steel and glass box. Glass walls, precise detailing, modernist kind of approach. Probably most people would choke on that idea, but it could be fun. You could sit in the house and look at your car collection without having to go outside in the weather and your neighbors would be offended by the crass display of your toys. That would serve to keep them away.

I love that!
 
The steel & glass would make for quite a dramatic presentation. I've seen pictures of it and it can look great. On the right site it gives a kind of open-air-museum-display-case feeling.

I do have to say I wouldn't choose it myself. Rather than a display space I prefer a working garage with an industrial shop look inside. I doubt my family and neighbors would like staring at steel tool chests, welding tanks and a Bridgeport. On the other hand it would look really cool while arc welding. Better specify UV blocking glass.

I've been thinking about building a stand alone garage. Here's some of the stuff I've looked at:

As for having a lot of glass in a garage, I sort of have that now (my garage is part of my passive-solar house). If it's messy (usually), I keep the shades closed. And keeping the glass clean is a pain!
