BRAKELIGHTS: Wetmore’s, Ferndal Michigan

Wetmore’s Tire & Auto Repair in Ferndale, MI, has been in business since 1928 on Woodward Avenue. The English-style shop has an alcove on the roof where a misaligned and wobbly-wheeled 1964 Chrysler New Yorker sits. According to www.wetmorestireandautorepair.com, one of the first vehicles was a Hudson. Executives from the Hudson Motor Company claimed the wobbling Hudson was damaging to their image. In true Motor City fashion, Hudson made a generic grill to disguise the car.
