I recently ran across a history of Grand Central Air Terminal in Glendale 
California. This interested me since I had learned to fly there in the 50s. 
About 1000 Ercoupes destined for the West Coast were shipped there and 
assembled during the 40. In addition a number of Coupes were donated to a 
flying club set up for handicapped veterans.

The art deco control tower has been preserved as a historic building with 
efforts to declare it a national landmark.
see http://www.godickson.com/gca1.htm.

I uploaded a scan of a couple of pictures of Ercoupes taken at Grand Central.
