That looks like a 70s Buick to me just by the size of it. The last of the land yachts.

I'm glad you had the opportunity to photograph these buildings. Don't know if you are aware, just last night two of the abandoned buildings were set on fire and have been lost.
Thank you for conserving their history.

It must of been terribly hot seated behind that boiler. I cant even imagine the work that went into making such a machine move and do its job. Blood, Sweat and Tears!

Thank You for sharing this unique find. I just have to wonder if these pieces of old machinery were intended to be refurbished and put in a museum.!?! Looks like they never made it! Sad!

Oh MY! What a site to behold! Cant help but think this poor ol car looks as if it was retrieved from the depths of the ocean.

Impressive machine! Cool shot Mr. Motts! Wonder if they had to dismantle the stack to get this machine in this garage? or, maybe just backed it in to a certain spot?

Must of been terribly hot being seated that close to the boiler. Goodness! What a contraption! lol

The Wheels are huge! This machine in itself is one of the largest tractors ive ever seen. Im still wondering what this is doing hidden away in a Detroit garage?

Happy Sunday. I don't even know if Buick is still making cars. One of the best American cars I ever drove was the 86 Buick regal. It was the only American car that was as tight and responsive as the imports we had at Budget rent a a car back then.

Hi Debbie, thanks for the link, alas it did not work. You did get me searching for some FL abandoned sites and I came up w/ some good stuff. Not as good as Motts' work but I am spoiled.
