" Depressing day.  GM nearly bankrupt, Ford not far from it, new plants
" planned to build more Toyota cars (and Hino trucks) in North America,
" China, India, and Thailand learning how to build quality and style to
" sell to the US, and, for the first time in history, all 10 CR choices
" are Japanese cars.  It's not very hard to wonder where it all may end.

heard michigan's gov interviewed on radio last week.  she said that
last year for the first time in history more cars were built in
ontario then mich.  most were still 'american' cars...  she attributed
it to the business and healthcare climate in ca vs. the us.

" The last car built by Studebaker --- whose carriages carried America's
" Presidents --- in South Bend still is -in- South Bend, in a new museum
" designed to seem old.  American Motors, the next "last independent" is
" present in many ways in that place on Chapin Street.  Romney's compact
" and Teague's cormorant and AMC and S-P --- alive in auto history's mix.

teague's cormorant?  i don't get it.

i read a nero wolfe mystery recently and noted rex stout named wolfe's
car a cormorant.  connection?

" The panel gaps along M-B's new decklid make AMC spaces appear narrow!

saab used to design wide gaps deliberately, so their doors etc.
couldn't freeze shut.
