I just inherited this car from my father and can't help but notice that it smells of gasoline all of the time. It is especially bad when sitting in the garage and is even noticeable when driving.

You want to check or have checked the entire fuel system for leaks. Leaks are dangerous not only because of the vapor smell, but also the chance of a fire.
