----It has never been an issue that I know of, Lee. But since you bring it up, a 1967 big block with powerglide and AC has a special license bracket that moves the license plate over to the drivers side under the bumper. I think it was for some extra cooling because of all the extra stuff (trans cooler, and AC stuff).....Bill S

On April 20, 1909, construction of the world’s first mile of concrete highway was begun in Detroit.

Quote:
The year was 1909, and it was a big year in Detroit. Ty Cobb led the Detroit Tigers to a League Pennant at Bennett Park, Henry Ford introduced the Model T and J.L. Hudson was scouting out a location at Woodward and Farmer for his department store’s new location.

Also that year, the Wayne County Road Commission introduced the world to a new kind of road: Concrete. The only place it could be found that year was Woodward Avenue between Six and Seven Mile Roads in Greenfield Township, which is now northwest Detroit.

Roads up to that point – if they were paved at all – had been built with brick, cobblestone, or a material called macadam, which was not much more than stones sprayed with a tar to form some kind of wear resistant surface. Unfortunately, brick and cobblestone were uneven and labor intensive, while macadam didn’t last long.
