That should have been the Machus Red Fox restaurant. On the north side of the Detroit area, near Selfridge AFB.
The place closed in 1996, but a new Italian restaurant, Andiamo, is now in business at the old location. The original owner, Harris Machus, passed away four or five years back.
Good catch, Archy. I was on 94 in Jackson when it came over the radio he went missing. Were you a Michigander at that time?
The Red Fox was up in Birmingham..several miles northwest of Detroit.
