It's not everyday you get to go to work and see sexy old cars leaving a meeting but those beautiful cars are what Joe was luckily enough to see the other day and grabbed these photographs to share with me. Moving to Detroit and you do get use to see lots of old motors because if you remember rightly Detroit is the motor city. During the summer months parking lots come filled up with hot rods and gorgeous vintage cars which increasingly starts making me want one for myself.
Where better to see vintage cars then Detroit? Detroit is the city were Henry Ford put into motion the development of the automotive with the infamous Model T coming to production in 1908, to be followed by General Motors, Chrysler and American Motors having their headquarters in Detroit by the turn of the 19th century. This industry created Detroits gilded boom years with 125 motor makers coming out of the city. In short the modernisation of the auto-mobile industry in the 1950s led to high job losses and the continued de-industrialisation which the city never really recovered from sadly.
Don't you just love old cars?!
