This authentic 1960s color photograph captures the sleek, modernist architecture of the L.C. Smith Terminal at Detroit Metropolitan Airport in 1968. The image showcases the terminal’s expansive glass facade and the distinctive control tower rising from the upper level. On the elevated roadway, a variety of mid-century vehicles are visible, including a light blue Volkswagen bus and several American sedans. Below the ramp, a parking area is filled with period automobiles, and a vintage glass telephone booth stands near the crosswalk. A sign for the “SOUTH TERMINAL” guides travelers, reflecting the airport’s layout during this era of significant expansion. This high-resolution scan provides a nostalgic look at the “Jet Age” in Michigan, documenting a terminal that served as the primary gateway to the Motor City for decades. All our images are available as royalty-free instant downloads for use in books, media, and creative projects – or make your own prints for home, work, or as a truly unique gift.
