Detroit Dragway 1959
Another great shot of the farmland that once surrounded Detroit Dragway. Here we see Sibley going up the left with Dix/Toldedo Rd. over pass gong over the incompleted I-75 as it was being built & ended at Sibley. It'll never look like this again. Detroit Dragway is above the over pass beyond the pines.

Aerial view of Detroit Dragway up in the middle with Sibley running horizontally & Telegraph on an angle. I-75 Freeway was still being built over to the right where the road stops. Ths picture shows the horse shoe shape of Detroit Dragway & how the track just went off into the wild blue yonder. They say that if a driver couldn't stop, they would end up in the trees.

In this photograph, the shape of Detroit Dragway can be seen very well. It is on the top, middle in a horse shoe shape. The rd. going all the way up the picture to the left would be Dix, Sibley runs horizontally through the middle & Telegraph & it's over pass run on an angle to the right. I-75 come to an end at Sibley. This would be a great photo to order in one of the large poster sizes for somebody for Christmas. You can order the poster rolled or mounted & ready to hang. Wish we could turn back the clocks to this era but with these photo's we can do that. .To view larger, click on the photo then look for the "sizes" icon on lower right of the photo
