I scanned a map as page sized, saved as jpeg, then hosted in what was formerly Picassa, now some google thing.

Did a search to see if I could find any stats about this, and this page turned up. Seems to confirm what everyone has been posting. About 75% of cars on the road are gray scale, with red and blue...

I put the addresses from the OCF thread into a spreadsheet, there are other pages on the bottom for coachbuilders, parts, trucks, etc. [[hope this link works) Still need to go through the whole...

I found this site while searching for something else, which is usually the case. It covers the work done by auto mfgs [[and others) for WWII:

Pere Marquette 1223, it was moved to Grand Haven sometime in the early 80s.

The Grand Trunk Western Historical Society "The Semaphore" issue #75 Fall 2019 is devoted to this building. The article features around 18 pages, including many pages from the original brochure...

The GM Powertrain/Hydrnatic plant was originally a Navy ordinance plant built dring WWII and managed by the Hudson Motor Co. More in the OCF thread, starting on Jan 29th, 2006:

Back in the 1980s-90s I used to sit in with the Belgian-American band. Every year, I think it was in August we used to play the bike races. We used to show up about 9 am, set up in the parking lot...

Sure, I probably swiped it from somewhere else.

I'm not sure if this has been posted in this thread before, so here's a SEMCOG map showing the ratings of all major roads in their area, with a look back to the condition a decade ago:

Here's a link to a high res scan that I did of a mid 1930s map of Detroit:

From what I remember, the FAB was constructed by a wood post and beam method, which would be a challenge to bring up to standard for a building that tall. Here's an old Sanborn map from a distant...

Have a look through the five pages of this old thread to start: http://www.atdetroit.net/forum/messages/6790/156450.html?1227151144

I was hoping to wake up in the middle of the night remembering that, but only came up with penn-something.

I remember another ad for some TV repair place, they usually had them on Bill Kennedy, and they'd say their phone number twice, once in English, and again in Polish. Something like: dwa pienc siedem...

Just as long as the tombstone is eventually remodeled, and covered with "canyon stone".

Maybe a nice aluminum awning on one side of it, too.

Ulrich Lumber was on 9 Mile, between Sherwood and the RR tracks. They closed about two years ago, now a fencing place.

My guess that is the old Cadillac/Hudson/Clayton & Lambert[[1925) stamping plant near Conner, south of Gratiot. It's the only Caddy plant that fits that meager description that is still standing. I...

Be thankful that Go-thee and Frood streets don't cross.

I regularly lurk.

Thanks for the info about Stude leasing that building, and it explains why I couldn't find anything on it from the usual sources. The DCC was located at 1236 West Forest Avenue, according to their...

I thought that this was going to be easy to answer: just a quick check of the OCF DB, and... I got nothing. Either I missed inputting it into the DB, or we never found #14 in Detroit.
