A Buick-branded GM B-platform station wagon driving through Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan.

Grosse Pointe Farms, Grosse Pointe Park, and Grosse Pointe Woods are each located in Wayne County, Michigan just north of Detroit city proper.

In the early 20th century, Grosse Pointe was used as a dumping ground for garbage/refuse from residents of Detroit city proper. Many homes were built on top of these former refuse dumping grounds.

The Ford family also has a residency in Grosse Pointe-the mansion of Edsel (Henry’s son) and his wife Eleanor. Like with Henry & Clara’s mansion in Dearborn, Michigan; Edsel & Eleanor’s mansion is also available for public tours.
