Re: Truck Images Circa 1930

Randy - I was noticing the similarity to the previous picture you posted of Chevrolet Flint Manufacturing....so much so that I thought it might be the same plant from a different vantage point. (Upon further review that's not the case). The powerhouse smokestack is what originally caught my eye.

It looks like Albert Khan found a design he liked and stuck with it...

For those new to the conversation this facility is where my dad worked for 26 years.

Keith, For the sake of this discussion... Keith I am nearly certain that most of those GM buildings were of the Albert Kahn design. In some respect Albert pretty much had the "big three", spoiled with his quality designed, and built automotive factory buildings.
