I can't find a carburetor anywhere. I wish I knew how old these were.

I bet those things could still be a worth a fortune, esp. part for part! It's kind of cool to imagine hooking that thing up and starting it up, just like it was brand new. Wow.

I love this shot. They look like behemoths...scary in a way, really menacing.

SLS, I think you're right. It makes sense.

Well since Studebaker went out of business I think a long time ago, a non existent company who was bankrupt and no longer producing or manufacturing had no need or want of files and receipts anymore I would venture to guess. Also, even if they had not gone out of business and just closed the plant, it would have taken a lot of money even to move just files out of there. See, it looks like a slew of files...I think that's why any abandoned places will have machinery and tools and (at the time) expensive machinery and files left over because (especially if they were bankrupt), they were too expensive to remove, easier to leave there and not have to deal with every again. Sorry for the run-ons, the Army has kept me up 48 straight hours and now I can't sleep.

I see this abundance of woodblocks and can't help but imagine the amount of trees cut down to floor the entire plant with them. Yeesh. Motts, are they held down with mortar of some sort or are they just kind of placed in there tightly? And what type of room was that?

Mag-frickin'-nificent!

This is by far the most beautiful shot so far, Fantastic camera angle!

A maddening circus of metal and rust.

Those bars seem like they will never end.

Love the shot. In a way it reminds me of that movie 8 Mile...and really of Detroit itself. Your pics always capture a mood Motts.

good I am not the only one who is wondering about the shopping carts!

I see green in the left eye and blue in the right, great picture!!

Thanks, Motts!! Great gallery! Being an old car buff, I would have loved to be there...

I would of guessed autoclave, but I could by a mattress sanitizer
