| This diagram shows the layout of the test track during world war II and into the late 40's. This modified diagram is from Don Bent's book "A Place Called Buick". |
 |
| We are facing north towards Horton Avenue and Philadelphia blvd. |
 |
| Facing east at the north-end of the test track. The Pere Marquette rail line is in the background. |
 |
| Here we are facing east with Stewart Avenue off to the right. You can still see that a part of the old "Liberty" engine factory #27 is still standing. |
 |
| Here we see the M-18 north of Stewart Avenue with the new factory #10 aluminum foundry in the right background. Also note the high tension power line. |
 |
| This looks to be a north-west view just south of the test track. This area looks like they had some hills and inclines for testing. I'm thinking that is Andrew Street in the background. |
 |
| This south-east view of a M-18 tank is where factory #36 will be built during 1951-1952. |
 |
| Buick M-18 HellCat on the Buick test track. This view is facing north-east. |
