Title: Trivia Question...
Post by: 77ncaachamps on June 22, 2007, 12:08:13 AM
...to which I do not know the answer to!!!

WHERE was this picture taken? (http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball/1976)

We know it was a Packard (from a previous thread), but it looks like hotel rooms in the background...

I believe it was taken at the Brooks Stevens museum which was on N. Pt. Wasington Rd just north of county line road in Mequeon.  Brooks Stevens was an idustrial designer who designed many forward looking appliances, etc and had a large classic car collection.  His mdesigns wre so famous i can't remember exactly waht his clain to fame was but in the world of industrial design he is a legend.

I'm not 100% sure on this one but my fuzzy recollection from 30 years ago.

Did some googling and found out Brook Stevens designed for Studebaker, Johnson outboards and he and his son built the Excaliber car in Milwaukee for 10 years, very OT but it was bothering me since I knew he had some real claim to fame.
