Fisher Body Plant #21 - Piquette Avenue, Detroit
This building is one of the few remaining auto plants left on Piquette Avenue ever since the Studebaker Plant (also home to Northern, Wayne & EMF automobile manufacturers) burned to the ground in 2005. The historic Ford Piquette plant (home of the Model-T) and portions of the Regal Motor Car Company and a Maxwell Automobile Company (precursor to Chrysler) stamping plant are all that remain in addition to the Fisher.
In this building Fisher used to paint and assemble frames and bodies for trucks, buses and limousines among other product lines.
The first couple of floors are empty and barren whereas the top two floors still contain much of the manufacturing area and offices as well as a nearly complete assembly track that runs through paint and heat booths.
As the Packard Plant becomes overrun by scrappers, film-crews, photographers and nature, the Fisher is slowly becoming the new place to shoot and explore.
