No, there were a couple pics of a few museums, with Cadillac's being assembled. And a few shots of the functional Ford plant.
But the general theme is not one of a successful place of industry. These were the days of cheap gas, big cars and a thriving middle class. The days of roadside stops, small town restaurants and drive-ins.
The scattered highways across our nations with the shells of restaurants, parks, shops, gas stations and the like are all part of this.
