Wow, I'm kind of a WWII history nut, and never put it together. At least my Bronco is being held in a historic spot!It's the former location of the Willow Run Bomber Plant

Demolition of the plant was underway in 2014.
Here's a pic from it's heyday in 1952. The construction area you showed in your pic was a parking lot. It appears to have remained largely vacant since then, except for the holding tanks which are shown in your pic as they were finishing their disassembly.
Second pic shows the holding tanks, 2002.
Dirt Mountain is painfully close to my dealer..It's the former location of the Willow Run Bomber Plant

It's funny how I didn't care when I would get my Bronco until they gave me a VIN and a build date and i started to realize I'd have one of the first Broncos delivered in the whole state. I started to feel real lucky. Now I do care, and I hope I don't see another one before I get mine in (presumably) November!
