Very Cool pics...as a sidenote of info, the giant tire shown in one of the pics (yes, it is a ferris wheel) now resides just outside Detroit on the side of I-94 freeway, right by Metro Airport. It is still a giant ad for Uniroyal tires, the actual ferris wheel cars are no longer on it, and it has been updated with a more modern looking hubcap, and a giant nail sticking out of the top, to promote the self-sealing tires they now sell....really neat to see what it originally looked like, I remember my Dad telling me it was built around a ferris wheel...I guess he was right!
