Fleetwood Center

This unlikely strip mall began as a chance encounter between designer Lee Oaks, then of architects Matlin and Dvoretzky, and a 1970 Cadillac. He translated the headlights as neon circles, fenders became turrets, and the grille is a grid of glass windows. The memory of its original Pepto pink 1987 stucco is now essentially lost to history, thanks to a coat of white paint.
