Great ariel shot of Hudson Motors, check out the rails going right into the plant.
Craig Brenton Pretty sure it was closed down in 1954. Shortly after Hudson and Nash merged together and became AMC.Jeff Branch Continental Motors was right next door to Hudson. The location of the main Hudson plant is currently a parking lot for Chrysler JNAP.Craig Brenton Continentals smokestack and part of the building are still standing today.Dennis DeBruler Craig Brentonhttps://www.google.com/.../@42.3717374,-82.../data=!3m1!1e3
Peter DudleyPeter and 1 other manage the membership, moderators, settings, and posts for Detroit - Area Railroad History. Craig Brenton: That's the Continental Motors power plant.

Paddi Beach Place was sure impressive, this photo sure got lots of comments. Hudson Motor did real well during WW2. Earlier they sold as many as 375,000 cars a year. These old plants with rails going right through them are great.Jeff Branch The Ford plant in Avon Lake, OH still has NS (former NKP) service inside the plant. (At least, when I was there last.) It's interesting to watch.Craig Brenton I think FCA Warren Stamping still has service in the plant.Steve Hoshel Probably not an aerial photograph. Many companies had artists draw exaggerated aerial views to make the plants look far more impressive than they actually were.
