Larry Schramm Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I have been there with my truck. Some of the test oval is still left along with most of the buildings. The infield of the test track is now a subdivision with homes. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Packard+Proving+Grounds/@42.6616642,-83.0450398,2111m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x8824e782a9e26c7f:0x413ed5082c919ce9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can really see the oval footprint of the track. Thank you for sharing this with us! -Matthew Hocker Assistant Librarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
