Well at least you own US Made trucks.

Does he? My dad's Ford, and my mom's Chevy, were both made in Canada.
I'd rather that, if a car is foreign-made, that it's honest about it,
instead of just looking like it's American.


I do know that most USA built cars/trucks have parts built in Mexico,
Canada
and even Japan. Most are at least assembled in the US, some in Canada. I
know for a FACT my 69 Chevelle, parts and assembled in the US. I'm really
proud of this car, if your interested in seeing it I will post a pic on

Stick a shot up. I shoot old cars for part of my living, and find them
fascinating, though recently I've been working a little further back (most
recent a '58 Impala, oldest a '34 SS1 Jag).


Cool I grew up around, lets see my dad had XK120 and a XK140 the replica
that won le mans, I think it was a 55 not sure. All I knew was it was all
aluminum body and it had a sticker on the walnut dash that said so. He also
had a couple of XKE's 1966 4.2 coupe and my mom had the roaster all in
British Racing Green. I kinda went the other way with the muscle cars,
probably a rebellion thing. But I did love driving them in the back country
roads of NJ. When he got older and more successful he ended up with XJ6 for
luxury and a Ferrari 350gt for raising hell.
