Nice shot of Continental Motors. Many members of my family worked there over the years. My dad worked there as a teenager during the run-up to WWII. After he was fired from his first job at Hudson Motors, he simply walked a few hundred feet and got another job immediately. And since his family lived on Algonquin just south of Jefferson in those years, he could easily walk to work [[which didn't stop his teenage self from being occasionally late).

My aunt, who was an artist, made several paintings of that smokestack in her series of paintings of Detroit factory buildings. One hung in her dining room on Lakewood for several years.
