This one was taken at the GM Proving Ground in Milford, Michigan. Taken from Barnes Circle, looking south with the building area in the upper left (16% test hill in the background). The building area is the highest point in both Oakland and Livingston counties, which is why this patch of ground was chosen for the proving ground originally.

I don't know why that is so important for me to know (and share) but I do enjoy seeing if I can tell where these photos were taken.

This one strikes me as ironic because it was just yesterday that we were talking about backup lamps becoming standard in 1966.

Here we have....a '66 Corvette with no backup lamps.

In my opinion this is the most attractive/sexy automobile ever built. Someday maybe I will try to replicate it.

The photo was taken on the Design Studio patio (behind the Design Dome). I do not know who the gentleman is being "driven" around by Mr Mitchell; if anybody recognizes him I would be interested to know.
