    Yeah, while he is still alive, I am trying to find a photo of the Ford 'NAAO' building that used to be on Rotunda. He worked for 30 years at Ford and I would love to give him this gift. Can anyone help me?

    Need More Info?

    Played around with Google Image Search for a while; couldn't get any hits at all on "Ford" together with "NAAO", "building" and "Rotunda".
    "Ford", "building", "Rotunda" gave me a bunch of pics of the Rotunda building; and "Ford NAAO" offered me "Ford NAA", which gave me a ton of stuff on old Ford tractors.

    What did NAAO stand for? Where did your Dad work (department)?

    I just happen to still work at Ford.... I don't think the building is called NAAO anymore, hopefully it's not the building at the corner of Rotunda and Southfield, cause it's been torn down!

    Well, I got a pic from someone at Ford media relations. It was the building you are talking about. However, I got a pic large enough to have it printed at 12 x 18" and had it framed. My dad received it today with my letter... He said he had a few tears... :)

    It's not hanging in my parents house.

    Very good! Persistance paid off! It's always great when you can give something back to your parents like that.
