My brother in law, a college student, is doing a photography project about Detroit's auto history. Other than the Model T building in Highland Park and the Piquette plant, what are some other good places. He wants to get some photos of some cool spots. I appreciate any help you can give. Thanks! |

Sparty, If you haven't noticed in the past year, there is an Old Car Thread, I'd suggest you check out that wealth of information. Aside: I wanted to print out that thread to read at my leisure, it wasn't until page 23 I realized I hadn't formatted it correctly. Arggggggggg. |
