Where's Waldo? Map Flat Rock! - Something to keep you guys busy

Found this site that has date-stamped aerial photography and the quality is pretty good. The most recent shots of Flat Rock are July 24 but get this - they update (at least) 3x a year and we should be seeing an update soon, which could have a lot more.

I've found a couple GT350s around the plant in these photos and an (conspiracy theorist in me) interesting group of almost exactly 100 cars, all wrapped in white shipping plastic and grouped together.

The middle pic is from Google Maps, where you can see some striped cars.

Google Earth also picks out some but I cant find what date they are using. Last one from Google Earth, as well.

The more I look, the more GT350s I can pick out on Google Earth Pro. There are quite a few on there and they are scattered among other Mustangs that aren't 350s (because the color).

...and this answers a few peoples question about sitting outside. Yes, they are.

Hate to say I told you so but. I told you. Ford isn't going to store them indoors anywhere. I mean why would they?

Are we sure those aren't old pics? If they're S550s, then what are all those grabber blue cars? I think I see some Gotta Have it green ones as well.

No, I'm not sure on the Google Earth ones but I do see what looks like AG and some black roofs - so doesn't that kinda say they are a little current?

 

[stanglife]

^^ I guess the ones with what looks to be black roofs could be verts and they grey could be silver... so silver vert GT500s or something.

Look I am telling you. Why would I bs you guys. They sit outside in a holding yard waiting to be shipped all over. Every manufacturer does this. I literally see hundreds and hundreds of ford, gm, chryslers sitting in the "yard" waiting to be shipped everyday. Everyday I also see truck loads of corvettes, mustangs, Audi etc shipped by truck and trains and they all sit outside. No manufacturers are going to store them indoors. Also, a lot of the old malls and vacant parking lots are holding areas for new just built vehicles. They put up chain link fences and hire a security company that watches them 24-7 until shipment.

Who are you talking to? I dont think anyone on this thread doubts that they store them outside. We're just talking about the pics.

We all know they keep them out doors.

Lol, I was wondering the same thing. Schizophrenia around here. There was one guy in another thread who didn't want to believe it...but even he has come around lol.

Find the "test track". That's where a lot of them have been stored.

 

[stanglife]

Isn't that it on the left?

 

[stanglife]

Looks like a few in that area. Just a little East of the test track.

Yep - pretty close to the test track there is a gaggle of them.

Do you have a date and time stamp on the all white cars? Those look like 50th Anniversary cars.
