The 70+ unit (in)famous 1941 Coral Court was demolished in 1995 but the stone walls at the entrance still stand. The Oak Manor housing development occupies the site now.

One unit from the old motel has been at least partially reconstructed at the St. Louis National Museum of Transportation. That's a late 50s DeSoto pulling into the garage.

NOTE: The motel was not actually in St. Louis, rather it was in Marlborough, a suburb of St. Louis. Saying St. Louis just gave folks an easier way to locate it. The second card added the number of units available, giving a better idea of the motel's size.
