The brick building is the old pinball plant (shown on the covers of the mid '60's to mid '70's part catalogs) that has had all the shipping & receiving docks/doors removed and filled in as the plant is now filled with slot machine design studios.
The car is BallyKid's.
Quoted from Sinestro:Yup. Scientific Games bought Bally Technologies a year after Williams. They both got absorbed completely and now only exist as a brand names.
A lot of people don't realize that Bally (the original Bally Manufacturing Corporation) bought Scientific Games in the mid-1980's. Of course they eventually spun it off as their cash flow issues needed addressing. Less than 25 years later, Scientific Games buys Bally.

Quoted from OldHockeyGuy:In addition to wanting to learn more about Williams of the 1960's, I specifically would enjoy finding more information on the ten "Styling of the 60's" game cabinets for Darts, Viking, Jungle, Music Man, Black Jack, Magic Clock, Bo Bo, Caravelle, Highways, Hollywood, and in part, Ten Spot.
Be fun to know who designed them, production numbers, and the reason, beyond sales, why they were not continued. As others have said, the Jetsons game would have looked great in one.
Past Times Arcade has a terrific collection of them open to the public.
I recall that Mel Boldt & Associates designed those cabinets and more for Williams/United.
