Filmed with Samsung Galaxy S9 on October 28, 2022

These are the south elevators in the Fairlane Office Centre in Dearborn. Originally mid-1980s Otis lifts, these were modernized in the mid-2010s with an unusual ThyssenKrupp destination dispatch system, the only such system in Metro Detroit. This "hybrid" system, as it's known, has destination dispatch panels in the lobby, but acts like a conventional elevator system on the other floors, with regular call stations, and full panels on the inside. The lifts are quite nice, with low lighting and woodgrain cabs, though car B made some strange noises. One car was decommissioned during the mod, and car C, which is used as a service car, was likely on independent service when I visited.
