Hello Let the Ride...
Don't worry, we will chase this down.
Definitely not the Utica Plant - no concrete pattern and no field stone walls.
We have already discussed Creative Industries location and do not think it is there.
Our current thinking is the Chandler Park Recreation Center - a City of Detroit park about 3 miles due east of the PMCC on the north side of Warren Ave. Relatively close to the plant.
We've looked as the entire series of scans posted by BigKev for the 55 Packards and noticed several things. (1) In some of the photos there is a public drinking fountain (built into a long trough) such as you see in parks and outdoor pools. (2) The title of one of the photos (Library Gallery > 1955 > page 13 > photo #121) mentions a "Rec Center." (3) In the background of some of the photos is a large expanse of vacant land - much like you might find in a park.
Again, we are double checking and will post an answer once we are certain of the location.
By the way, will you be coming to the Motor City for the 2013 PAC National Meet??
