Sad but it did stand for decades and is still remembered........

 

Was only 3 months old so didn’t get a chance to see it. I do have a comic book style magazine from the 1957 Christmas event there.

I have a shift knob by Early Ford V8 Foundation with a token of Ford Rotunda on it.

 

My Grampa and I were in his car backing out of his drive when it came on the radio it was burning

 

Grew up in Detroit just a few miles from there. Remember going there as part of an elementary school trip.
