All the vehicles in my driveway are USA built---

You can tell from the Vin# a one (1) in the first position means USA---2 Canada, 3 mexico--

I drive an F150 crew cab and my wife has a five year old Impala so I don't have any foreign iron.

BUT ... way back in the past (1954) I bought a '51 Chevy four door and was surprised to find out that it was built in Antwerp Belgium, and in 1970 I bought a new Duster that was built in Canada.

Is that okay?

My stately ole Diplomat is presently up on jacks and under a tarp until I get my share of the stimulus money.

Not stirring the pot,but so do Toyotas,Nissans,Mazdas Etc. and I'd bet over 60% of the componets in a so called American vehicle are Japanese,Mexican or chinese since the 80's,although I haven't done any real research on that. But I do know that most of the parts I buy from the dealers have a Made in (Insert name here) on them. I've got GMC,Dodge,Olds and Ford in the driveway right now, but if I was gonna buy a new full or midsize pickup I would seriously consider a Toyota . (My apology to any one that offends) And european cars are a totally different subject as I believe they find all the mad scientists they can to design and build those things (LOL)

8 out of 11 are American built.....1 is foreign built but does have an American built 5.0L under the hood .

[johnboy]

A bit of allsorts here, starting with the newest:

1994 Ford Fairmont, Australian design but built in New Zealand. It's our daily driver, bought cheap-as-chips from the side of the road...if/when it goes 'pop' I'll push it over a bank and get something else.

1964 A C Cobra replica, built in New Zealand. Running 429 Ford with C6 auto, Jaguar irs and Australian GMC Torana ifs.

1951 Ford School bus, built in America and imported by us a couple of years back. Now sitting on a 2000 lwb Chev dually chassis, and running a Chev 400 ci Vortec with 5 sp manual. Still a 'work in progress', but nearing completion.

1949 Morris Minor lo-light, built in the U.K. and imported new to N Z in 1950. Now running a later BMC front end, Nissan 1500 cc donkey with 5 sp manual, and Nissan rear end.

1947 Ford sedan built in Canada (I think,) and imported new to New Zealand. Now running Jaguar ifs and irs with 350 ZZ4 Chev donkey and turbo 350 box.

So yes; a bit of a mixture.
