I'm sticking with my BLOWS UP FIRST, BACKS OUT SECOND scenario ~ and that's because the vehicle didn't go into the street ~ with local oxygen consumed, the engine died in a couple of strokes!

That could be. Don't know how much force would be required to blow the car back 1/8 of its length. Don't see any marks on the back of the vehicle, indicating it met no resistance from the garage door being closed.

There could be an interior door and an electrical door closing system

Not seeing anywhere in those photos where an interior door is possible. Look closely at all the angles provided. I believe that's the garage door(s) in the first photo....they look like wood. If that car "blew" after the door was opened by someone ....how does that affect your theory?

Two side by side doors ~ not an overhead door.

This is an historic district where people like to make it look like the place was really old ~ 1840s or thereabouts.

They are all rich.

The door opening mechanism is a little more "expensive" but doable.

BTW, by “interior door” I mean an access to the rest of the house ~ not an interior garage door.
