The costs involved with offering the endless possible combinations of trim levels, paint and fabric combinations of the 1960s was substantial. Interior panels are different for two and four door...

The ruts that I mentioned began in the right lane at Kent Lk Rd and disappeared after Milford Rd. That's where almost all of the sand and gravel traffic on eastbound I-96 begins. Any veteran motorist...

If you're treasure hunting in the water in southern Florida, you might be stepping on Mel Fisher's ashes. He's been dead for about 20 years.

Russian Olive was brought here in the late 1800s as a hardy, quick-growing windbreak for farms.
Purple loosestrife was here in the early 1800s and is thought to have stowed away in European ships'...

Hope you find a roll of uncirculated 1909 S VDBs, too!
One of my in-laws buried his money in cans in his backyard after the banks failed in the 30s, so keep looking, Ray.

Thanks, but we're probably going to have it refinished and then use it. We saw a weathered, used one sell on ebay for $288.

Found this in the basement of an in-law that passed. It was new, in the box with scrolled braces, hardware and instructions, but has minor condition defects from being in a damp basement for decades....

Like feeding raccoons, replying to angry, negative people is almost always a bad idea.

jcole, thank you. I looked for that on the Detroit Public Library website and completely missed it. Very interesting that a library branch has moved so many times in a relatively small area.

p69rrh51, thank you very much. My mom will be very happy to see her beloved library, even if only as an image.

Honky Tonk, thanks for taking us along on your school outing :)

Mom lived at...

Thank you, archfan. She did describe it as a storefront and she is quite sure it was right on the SE corner of Fort and Waterman. All of the old buildings are gone there.

My mom [[Southwestern High, class of '39) and I were talking about her childhood in 1920s and 30s Delray.

She mentioned that one stormy summer day in the 30s, her mother sent her to fetch her...

I had exactly the same sensation in a '72 Montego. I had the accelerator to the floor on I96 in Novi and it got to 118. The car felt a little like tubing in river rapids, only in slow motion. 118 mph...

I realize this thread is quite old, but I think we should try to document Delray as best we can before it is erased from physical existence, even if the documentation is anecdotal.

My mom was born...

While looking through an old thread from 2008, I happened on a picture of a gas station in Delray. I had recently taken my 92 year-old mom down there to say 'goodbye' to the streets that she lived...

If our Montgomery Burns had restored the MCS years ago, I might not have worn out two pens and the Formica tabletop under my ballot ensuring a 'NO' vote to proposal 6.

I'm not going to respond to this preposterous thread.

D'oh!

I've lived in and around Detroit for several decades [[let's say well the better part of a century and that's as specific as I get). My family came to 'Old' Delray just after WWI. Before I was born,...

Too many choices.

Algiers Motel, July of '67.

Collingwood Manor, 1931.

Ford HQ, when Bennett was fired.

Gallows, where the library is now, when Stephen Simmons was hanged in 1830.

My mom worked in Building B, Rouge, during the war. She lived in Delray at the time [[Southwestern Class of '39). She was studying art somewhere downtown and joined Ford not long after they...

Huh? Who is 'most'?

Oh, I get it... you're a troll.
