That's right. I recall the name Midtown back that far but not sure - good detective work HB!!
It actually goes back to John DeLorean's 1979 book On a Clear Day You Can See General Motors, where Businessweek writer J. Patrick Wright [[originally the ghostwriter and then listed as sole author after DeLorean disavowed the content to market a second autobiography) referenced General Motors' headquarters in "midtown" Detroit [[no doubt because his audience would understand the term as applied to New York).
