  • Detroit City Airport-Coleman A. Young International Airport Local Historic
    State Historic Preservation Office Michigan State Housing Development Authority Staff Comments, April 14, 2016 Detroit City Airport/Coleman A. Young International Airport Local Historic District, Detroit While the airport’s significance is on-going, the cut off would be the general fifty year rule adopted by the National Register. In addition, there appears to be an early period of significance that should be noted--1929 to 1946, from construction to the end of the airport’s operation as a commercial airport. The report must include a list of resources and major features that indicate the year built and the determination of whether each resource is contributing or non-contributing to the district. It is not acceptable to rely on a general statement like “Ancillary buildings such as T-hangars and service facilities, also occupy the site, as do runways.” The report should include a site map with the location of each resource indicated--preferably keyed to photographs. It would also be good to include a map which shows the location of the site within the broader context of the city. All maps should be labeled with the name of the district, city, county and date. The report must include a statement of significance that explains how the resource meets the National Register eligibility criteria. This is a well-researched report but we noted a few minor things: • Page 5, paragraph 2 the sentence “With the passage of the Civil Aeronautics Act in 1938, the prohibition on airport-building by the federal government was finally lifted.” Prior to that statement, the report does not clearly indicate a prohibition was in place.

    Supplement to Sports Car Market SportsKeith Martin’s Car Market™ The Insider’s Guide to Collecting, Investing, Values, and Trends 2018 INSIDER’S GUIDE TO A VUTOMOTI E MUSEUMS PREMIERE ISSUE ■ Donald Osborne on What Makes a Great Museum ■ In-Depth Profiles of 31 Featured Museums ■ Directory of More Than 80 Museums INTRODUCTION / TABLE OF CONTENTS where the Past Comes to Life his Insider’s Guide to Automotive Museums is a dream come true for me. T I have long wanted a listing of the most significant museums in the U.S. in one easy-to- access digest. This guide fulfills that need. I’m keeping a copy in my glovebox. I love automotive museums of all types, from the rigorous, intellectually challenging Petersen and Revs collections to “I bought it because I liked it” private collections. The history of the automobile spans little more than 130 years, starting with the Benz Patent-Motorwagen in 1886. Thus in a single museum you can often follow the evolution of the motor car from the horseless carriage to the Bugatti Chiron. As you stroll through the museums listed here, reflect on what the cars on display tell you about the tastes of the owners who collected them. The cars and the people behind them are inextricably intertwined, as it should be with these four-wheeled chariots of passion. — Keith Martin, Publisher, Sports Car Market ■ FeATUreS 12 The Qualities That Make a Museum Great — Donald Osborne 18 Map of Major Automotive Museums in the U.S. FeATUreD MUSeUMS eAST 28 Indianapolis Motor Speedway 40 The Cobra experience Museum 20 The Buffalo Transportation 41 Fountainhead Antique Auto Pierce Arrow Museum 28 Packard Proving Grounds Museum 20 Newport Car Museum 30 Studebaker National Museum 41 LeMay—America’s Car Museum 22 Owls Head Transportation 30 The Henry Ford Museum 42 National Automobile Museum SOUTH (The Harrah Collection) 22 Simeone Foundation 32 The revs Institute Inc.
