Warner Bros studios are interested in buying the FoMoCo. Wixom, Mich. plant to gut out and turn into a major studio here? Preliminary negotiations are under way with Ford, as we speak. This could become the Hollywood of the midwest! Hundreds of movie scripts are being sent here for approval to film.

Apparently major studios are interested in Michigan because of low tax breaks being offered to them. Clint Eastwood is currently filming here, and over the week-end at the 'Woodward Dream Cruise," scouts were checking out the variety of of classic cars of all types and offering some car owners $1,000 a day for rentals.
