Re: 47-54 Development/Concept Photos

First let me say: thank you for starting these threads, not just on this sub forum but for all the model years. Thank you!

Secondly - these photos are from before the GM Tech Center was built and commissioned in the mid 1950s, so I have been looking through them trying to figure out where they were taken. (I'm not sure why that is so important to me).

One of the photos looks like it might be just outside of Building 1 at the Milford Proving Ground; I also have an inquiry in to some other local experts who might be able to tell me where the Verhoven Chevrolet photo was taken and where the dealership was located.

For now the only thing I can say with certainty is that this is the Fisher Building [red arrow], on Grand Blvd at Woodward (and across from the old GM headquarters building - blue arrow), so that would place these in the Detroit/New Center area, viewed from the south side looking north.
