Huge roughly 4’x4′ photo on heavy cardboard stock. This is a vintage piece that used to be in the lobby at the proving grounds years ago; obtained directly from a retired employee of that facility. As best he could recall this was from the 1950s-1960’s. A great piece of automotive history and I doubt you will find another!! Condition overall is excellent but with corners slightly knocked. Little to no fading. Would look great framed! The design has a great industrial or mid century modern feel to it! History: The General Motors Milford Proving Ground was the industry’s first dedicated automobile testing facility when it opened in 1924. It is located in Milford, Michigan and covers 4,000 acres (16 km²). 4,800 staff work in its 107 buildings today. The proving ground includes the equivalent of 132 mi (212 km) of roads representative of conditions found on public roadways and other specialty surfaces for vehicle testing. Some roads are open only to drivers who have passed special performance driving training. The saying goes that each mile driven on the grounds is the same as 5 miles (8.0 km) in the real world.
