Safetyville, Flint Michigan has a very special place in the hearts of a lot of boomers. STOP-LOOK-LISTEN remember that lesson? Many Flint baby boomers received their first drivers license at Safetyville in Flint. It was located at Kearsley Park. The powered cars were actually vintage replicas of the Ford T-Bird and just for good measure there were a few Corvettes. I interviewed Len Exline who is a collector of these miniature cars. Len explains there were just four parks like Safetyville in the entire United States. The cars were used in a Taco Bell commercial and a movie or two. I know you will find this to be an interesting interview because any kid in Flint waited the hours down to their visit to Safteyville.
