Wow, I was in the Autry Plant a couple of times. I was hoping to get the ASC letters off the front. Spoke to the construction guys that were there after ASC left, told them to put them aside after they took them down. Never saw them. I was at the Southgate location a couple of times too. I have a ton of pics of both locations. Sandy asked me to take as many as I could so he could compare locations to pics that he had while they were still in operation.
I still have an office chair from the Southgate location. It was out of there design studio. It was all torn down in 2015.

Yeah, once Heinz died, the whole thing started to fall apart. Sad really. I do have a connection who has a connection to the staff photographer and he says she still has quite a file of photos. Getting him to reach out has been the trickier part. Trying to do an ASC reunion in Michigan this summer--if we're allowed a summer this year.

Both locations were cool to see. I think the last time I was at Autry and they were operational, they were doing the Viper. They had huge ASC Mustang posters on the wall facing the east, by the doors facing the north. I wish I could have gotten those too. I have an employee listing from that facility some where. I knew a couple of the guys in the Marketing department. That was about 15 years ago? I used to own a Typhoon back in the day too. White one.
