The airplane made Atlantic City's Bader Field famous, but it could be the automobile that resurrects it. A $2.7 billion recreational, residential and retail project aimed at car lovers is being proposed for the historic and vacant site.

Bader Field, which closed in September 2006 after 96 years of aviation use, gave the world the term “airport” when a local reporter used the word in a 1919 article.

Bader Field is where the Civil Air Patrol was founded shortly before the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941. But a series of fatal plane crashes soured city officials on its use. The DEEM project would create more than 1,500 permanent jobs, and would include affordable workforce housing. There also would be two large car display towers of 5 and 10 stories, and some of the duplex units even incorporate high-end cars into the design, including a glass-enclosed garage in which a resident's car is visible from the entire first floor.
