one of my elders told me of this sight .I go here in my dreams . I sneak through these places like the wind on a moon lit night. beautiful work carry on !

I once toured the Electromotive factory in La Grange, IL that had wood block floors and was told it was a safety issue, if a metal tool was dropped there would be no sparks as would happen on a concrete floor.

don't leave your engine idle!

I used to work for Active Tool, at their Tool and Die Facility in Detroit. I just noticed on Google Earth that it is now a vacant lot. Every night I worked there is a memory, now with no phisical evidence. What an overwhelming feeling. The photo of Sebewing is very haunting, and wonderfully nostalgic, all at the same time. Thank You

looks like our old highbay furnace room at carpenter steel

Have the same feelings viewing these and other photos on this site as I did watching footage of re-discovering the Titanic. So sad but so interesting. Thanks for posting these...a real resource for us Studebaker fans.

I amazed that there is anything of any value still in the building. I thought when a company went out of business that everthing was sold off and used to pay creditors.

Que pena!!!

Its the bottom of the Hindenburg, being rebuilt.

they should recycle those old engines

you forgot --here goes -kiss my fan-ny

one would think that a farmer could use the engines for irrigation pumps

nothing but junk, waiting for the smelter

These are the old 2 1/2 ton army truck engines , and they are waiting for the melt down, After Viet Nam the military tried to sell off as many as they could and these are whats left these engines are worn out, ------- JUNK

Kinda reminds me of a scene from Fritz Lang's Metropolis
