*Motor Trend* November 1990

This advertisement is from Motor Trend magazine - November 1990.

Additional Information: Yes, I am a fan of round and cylindrical buildings. I would like to see this grouping. I am sorry, I am new to this site and I did not know that I had to explain why I was interested in knowing where these where. I will keep that in mind next time. I thought it looked Texas-y. It sounds that it may be in Detroit and that is unfortunate :( I would never travel to there.

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it has nothing to do with travel.

    @Dorothy Similar questions have been allowed previously. Could you please explain why you think this question is very different from the other and should not be allowed?

    @SaaruLindestøkke if one had to guess, this is ad agency alteration of a cityscape (probably the Detroit Renaissance Center; Detroit is the hq of Ford).

    @SaaruLindestøkke It's unclear why OP would find the buildings in the background an appealing travel-destination. Perhaps OP could have saved this question by saying: "These buildings are so beautiful, I want to travel there to see them with my own eyes." Jeg vet det er litt ukonsistent.

    @Dorothy this is a photo from a game: travel.stackexchange.com/q/20465/2708 and not a travel photo either. I don't see the difference between: I saw a place in a game, where is it? / I saw this place on my desktop wallpaper, where is it? / I saw this place in an ad, where is it? Besides, you gave some nice pointers in your comments which together could've formed an answer.
