Yeah, I believe it was torn down. I used to live in Livonia, but now live in West Virginia... Otherwise, I'd do it myself. I'm guessing I'll just have to do some detective work.
Are there any Ford employees on this website that might be able to help?
I signed up for the forums at www.blueovalnews.com, would it be a good idea to try there?

Not sure if this would have it on there or not, but the bio for this dvd says this
"The 1954 film begins in glorious color with visitors at the Ford Rotunda showplace in Dearborn tour the big Rouge plant Ford assembly line"

I may have it. Not a very god picture though. It looks like it, but I'm not sure... The description is corner of Rotunda and Southfield. Anyone familiar with that building? You probably drove by it every day if you lived in that area.

Yep. I contacted the guy who wrote the story you found. He already emailed back:
"Greg, I'm in Sarasota for a couple of weeks, so won't be able to look into this until I get home.
Yes, the Ford Division building later was called the NAAO Building after Ford Div. moved down to RenCen on the Detroit waterfront around 1979 (a building complex sold to GM in
1999). The pic of the Ford Div. building must have been one from my
book, "Ford Dynasty: A Photographic History," Arcadia Publishing, 2002. I worked in the building my first summer with the company, 1960, on loan to Ford Division from Staff to write the press packet for the 1961 Ford trucks. It was sad to see it torn down. Your Dad and I must have crossed paths during my 1960-85 stint with Ford."
This is getting interesting!

He said it was a building that was torn down. Besides.... if you can't snap a pic of some Hooters girls, what makes you think you can snap one of a building!?!
you dont think a nice pic of a hole in the ground would be nice?... i think he would like it!
