The Ford Rotunda, was a tourist attraction located in Dearborn, Michigan. At one point, it was the 5th most popular tourist destination in the United States in the mid-twentieth century. By the 1950s, this futuristic structure was more popular than Yellowstone Park, Mount Vernon, The Washington Monument and the Statue of Liberty. The Rotunda was destroyed on November 9, 1962, due to a fire. Along with the destruction of the Rotunda, the fire consumed each of the 1963 Ford models which were on display, several one-of-a-kind “dream cars,” each valued at $100,000 each in 1962, and $250,000 worth of Christmas decorations intended for FoMoCos Winter Spectacular.
