I once picked up WUGN on a hot summer afternoon in Sandusky, Ohio. My mom was with me at the time and couldn't believe it when I told her the signal was coming from Midland, Michigan.

They also have a translator in Lansing on first adjacent 99.9 (technically translating daytimer 1110 WUNN). 99.7 actually comes in stronger in parts of the Lansing metro, though. They can easily be heard from Jackson to Grayling (and sometimes beyond).

No doubt, an incredible signal. FLR was lucky to get that station back in the early 70's.

WCAR-FM was listed in the 1956 Radio Annual, but not in the 1957 Radio Annual.

I think, I noticed the same in the White's Radio Log as well. Didn't see anything on WPAG 98.7 Ann Arbor. WPAG was on 98.7 from 1947-1953 according to Wikipedia.
