Earlier this year I was behind a Ford with an extra-large bumper-sticker that proclaimed that it was built, owned and driven by Americans. My immediate thought was, “So was the Honda in the next lane...what’s your point?”

Before I bought my first Toyota Corolla, I was looking at comparable Ford and Chevy products.

The Ford was built in Canada, the Chevy in Mexico, and the Toyota in the USA...

I drove 18 wheeler thru most of the 80’s ... I hate to tell how many loads of ASIAN auto parts I picked up at the docks in Seattle, taken to a FORD Assembly Plant in MEXICO.
YET, had a dedicated run... picked up small loads from assembly plants (some were residence garage) 6 different sites in Maine,VT, NH, MA, American made Auto Parts every week to Honda Car Plant in OHIO

When running the NUMBERS... HOnda were87% American Parts and Labor... Chrysler was 84% ... SO MUCH FOR AMERICAN CARS
