Mark,
Grosse Pointe, wasn't that the place where Henry Ford had his private
palace? Near the Henry Ford Museum? If so I think it is about 25-30 miles
away from The Chrysler Plant. Or - am I not right?
My wife and I visited the Chrysler Museum as well as the Henry Ford museum
in April this year.

Best regards

Folks,

Recently I was looking through a book titled Imperial Photo Album 1964-1968,
or something like that, and I became curious as to where the pictures were
shot.

For those of you who haven't seen this book, it has a lot of black & white
photos of Imperials from 1964 to 1968.  Some of these are obviously studio
shots, but a large number show Imperials driving around suburban
neighborhoods or parked at gas stations (one with an A&P in the background).
The shots look very real and unstaged, for the most part.

Anyway, after careful scrutiny of some road signs in a corner of one of the
pictures and with the help of Mapquest I was able to discover that most of
these shots were taken in the neighborhood of Grosse Pointe, Michigan, which
is a suburb of Detroit.

Well, big deal you say.  Yeah, it is kind of trivial but it looks to me as
if the photo crew just grabbed a car and drove down the street to take these
pictures.  I don't think this neighborhood is that far away from the
Imperial plant in Detroit.

Anybody familiar with Grosse Pointe?  I wonder how it's changed since these
photos were taken.

Mark M
