This is also known as the largest vacant structure in North America. Imagine this one burning on a typical Detroit Devil's night.

We sure are crash. I mention a little of the history a couple pages back. We visited Fisher Body 21 which is the iconic factory for them...it was REALLY cool for a gear head.

Hopefully I will get to see some more famous landmarks of automotive history the next time i make a trip out there. :)

Great photo and even better that you provide some information about the place! Love pictures with motif of abandonment/industry and other unusual places (but they are hard to find!) B&W seems right for this shot, even though I wonder how it looks like in color...

great stuff - I wonder do you ever get spooked by going into all of these abandoned places?

In Packard Plant: Next

After thoroughly exploring Fisher Body 21, our destination for the night was the Packard Plant. 3.5 million square feet of lawless, Albert Khan designed, abandoned goodness.
