Former CEO Wagoner probably would had considered it but Mary Bara just wanted an office complex which closed after 6pm and on weekends. Thank God that GM will only leade out two floors and not control the whole Hudson's Detroit building. I would be good to put a classic Chrvy, Pontiac, or Cadillac in the atrium of the Block for show to visitors
Tourists on the riverfront would wander in to see the Ren Cen and new car displays anyway. It's not like classics would draw thousands more, plus those cars are very valuable, require constant rotation do to ventilation requirements and there are security issues which would require a guard at all times. Besides I think a display with videos on future technology would be of more interest. There was never any audio or music to liven up the area. Either way, it's was never going to have any impact on the overall viability of the place.
