Scandalous 03-19-05, 03:40 AM 11th digit a 9? hmmm, lemme checc that out 2morrow. TomDeville 03-19-05, 03:49 AM There are alot of Detroit Iron products made in Windsor, Ontario, Canada (3.5 hours southwest of Toronto). Windsor competes with Oshawa, Ontario, Canada (.5 hours east of Toronto) for the Canadian "Motor City" designation. Did you know that Detroit is about 4 stone throws from the aforementioned Windsor ;which , (check the map if you don't believe) is South of Detroit. So if you are in Canada, and say you want to go to "Eight Mile" (from Eminem fame), you literally have to travel about 9 Miles NORTH of Canada to get there. That particular part of Ontario is in line with northern California. Where I live is Toronto, and it's 3.6 hours northeast of the Real Motor City (Motown/Detroit Rock City). In fact, in terms of where I reside in Toronto, it is actually the 5th largest 'Metropolitan' center in North America, (behind N.Y.C., L.A., CHI. Town., & Dallas). Toronto is in line with the French Riveria (no igloos here); and, has North America's 3rd largest Stock exchange. Toronto is more like N.Y.C. than most other places in Canada or the mighty U.S., (outside of the serious particularly prosperous and multicultural urban areas). Consequently, Canadian Stalwart Dudes like Obsessed Ralph are generally at odds with egocentric Torontonians like myself. Fortunately, we have Cadillacs, hockey, good beer (min. 5%), Respect for Uncle Sam, love for Natasha et al., and a kick ass Canuck perspective which keeps us united. In any event, a Hamtramck Caddy IS Detroit Iron ;and, the best that there is! Warmest Personal Regards, TomDeville :coolgleam :coolgleam :coolgleam CoupeDevilleRob 03-20-05, 12:40 AM My 83 was built in Detroit, I'm fairly certain your 84 was too. I think production was moved to Hamtramck for the FWD Devilles.
