    I have a pretty good collection from the city of Detroit, but I would like to get more of the metro area in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. I would love to find some old US-25 Gratiot Ave or even when US-25 rode along I-94 between Porth Huron and Detroit. If anyone has some good ones, post em up!

Here's a few i have, probably not many rare shots though:

Campus Martius


Woodward 1942, church in the immediate background is the Cathedral Church of Saint Paul off Hancock Street:


Operating a traffic light on Woodward Ave.


Shot of Cobo Hall roof, unknown year:


Chevy Plant parking lot in Flint, Michigan:


Woodward & 8 Mile Interchange, hasn't changed much through the years:

All pretty good pictures. I really like the 8 mile and Woodward Interchange photo on the bottom of your post. Such a cool shot, and nothing has changed all that much around there, but it's cool to see US-10 along Woodward. It's been quite a few years since I had a memory of a US-10 sign south of Bay City. I remember when they scaled it back, and MDOT was still in the process of replacing the signs along I-75/US-23 North of Flint that still showed US-10.
