Vintage shots from days gone by!

Guys;the Big Tire was off of I-94 west of Detroit proper. It was an advertisement for Uniroyal brand tires.

 

It is still there, I saw it on my way to Autorama this Feb.

---------------------------
More likely it's the one on I-94. just
outside of Detroit.I'm not sure but I think
a slightly more modernized version of the
same tire is still there.

Yes, chaos10meter, it's the one that was at the '64 world's fair. Whether it's ever been replaced (or just maintained), I have no knowledge on that question. Cool stunt, and after that the sales of those Uniroyal Tires, especially the red-letter Tiger Paws, got a boost!

 

Here's some guy with big ears and a really nice car,... The car is a Dusenberg,... And the guy,.... "Frankly my dear !,.. I don't give a darn !"

 

I love this picture. But its not real.

 

Its all part of a 1/87 scale diorama (HO scale). Below is the builder's website.
