1966 GM PROVING GROUNDS in Mesa, Arizona. Here is some great footage of classic cars drag racing through the open desert that was spread between Ellsworth Rd and Superstition Mountain in Apache Junction. GM always tested their cars on the Apache Trail and the back roads of Superstition Mountain before releasing the final design for sale to the public. This area is now occupied by miles of redtile roofs and freeways. | Apache Trail

It’s wild how much the landscape can change. For more than 50 years, the GM Desert Proving Ground in Mesa, Arizona was one of the toughest automotive test sites in the world. Engineers pushed new vehicles to their limits—extreme heat, choking dust, and nonstop punishment designed to expose every weakness. Today, the entire site has been transformed into a master-planned suburban community. If you didn’t know the history, you’d never guess what happened on this land. See the evolution from above

1966 GM's DESERT PROVING GROUNDS in Mesa, Arizona. This 3-minute film shows some great scenes at Ellsworth/Blevins Rd & Usery Pass all the way down to the proving grounds testing Chevy vs Ford vs Plymouth suspensions. Usery Mountain and Red Mountain are unmistakable. Very nice to see this area as wide open desert just 50 years ago. The area depicted in this film is nothing but housing and shopping centers today. Enjoy this taste of the good old days in Mesa, Arizona for all you GM DPG employees!
