Interesting stuff!!! I, for one, did not know Packard had a Canadian plant. In spent my working life in the industrial rubber business and the 'reach' of our products was almost universal. We had the GM contract for forklift tires at all their Canadian manufacturing facilities and, as such, I called on the Windsor plant. I believe there is only an axle plant left there now, (if even that) as a great deal of automotive manufacturing has gone to China, but based on Big Kev's article, it sounds like a great number of Packard components were Canadian-sourced, and manufactured for the Windsor facility. Is there any way to tell 'by the numbers' if one's car was produced there??? I know this is 'off the topic' a little bit, re the export block mystery, but any 'spin-off learning' along the way is of value, right??
