I was at the factory 2 weeks ago. The demolition is concentrated on the newer portions of the complex...those added by GM and others after KF left. The original bomber plant still stands as the Yankee Air Force wants some of it for their museum. They've mounted a fundraising effort to save the part they want and have most of the $8M needed.

I remember touring the Hydramatic plant in '74 when KFOC held their National convention in Dearborn. I dug a bolt out of one the grease packed pathways in there as a souvenir. I still have it. I need to dub the video of some of the KF cars arriving there so it can be viewed/shared. One thing I remember about that home movie is there were numerous others there doing the same thing so there must be more footage of it out there.
