Inside Creative Industries

[Aero426]

This is a work in progress with some more to be added, but there are some photos taken in 2001 from inside the building, so you get an idea of what it looked like.

Doug just curious here, but which building of Creatives is that? If I'm not mistaken I think that they had 2 possibly 3 different buildings. At least I think I have papers with 3 different addresses on them for them. One on 7 mile road, and one on 10 mile road I'm pretty sure, but for some reason i was thinking there was a 3rd as well. Maybe Gene knows, I haven't looked at some of those papers in almost a year.

Will look for more addresses for Creative but 3080 Outer dr comes up

I believe the Ten Mile Rd. address is the location where the wing car work took place.

I saw this and wonder if this book/ magazine has any wing related archive material in it about creative

Correct - those pics are all from 10 mile.

Do we know who actually took those photos from the roof top of the Daytonas, or where the photos came from?

They are Chrysler press photos.    The actual photographer is not known.     There are a few original copies in the field, but for the most part the ones you see on the internet originated from the aerowarriors.com website via collector Greg Kwiatkowski.
