Packard Plant Doorway

Yesterday I went to start my truck that has been in storage for a year since 2007 Hershey. I keep it loaded for the Hershey show from year to year, no work loading. Anyway the building in Detroit where the truck is stored indoors has quite a pile of large granite type blocks and lentils piled near the truck. It turns out that they are the famous doorway from the Packard plant that was auctioned off recently. They are being stored there until they ultimately go to the Packard museum. I will be taking the truck out of the storage building in two weeks to get it ready for the Hershey show and will have a camera with me. Its really not much to look at except for all the history that happened on East Grand Boulevard. I'll also try and capture a picture of the plant as it looks today minus the famous doorway. I will post it also. I never would have guessed that morning that I would bump into some Packard history.
