[AMC-list] AMC manufacturing plants & myths



AMC had manufacturing plants in: Cordoba, Argentina; Brisbane, Australia; Colombo, Ceylon; Bogota, Columbia; San Jose, Costa Rica; St. Denis, France; Bombay, India; Djakarta, Indonesia; Teheran, Iran; Haifa, Israel; Tokyo, Japan; Seoul, South Korea; Tananarive, Malagasy Republic; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Mexico City, Mexico; Casablanca, Morocco; Karachi, Pakistan; Manila, Philippines; Lisbon, Portugal; Pretoria, south Africa; Zaragoza, Spain; Taipei, Taiwan; Bangkok, Thailand; Istanbul, Turkey; Montevideo, Uruguay; Tijeras, Venezuela; Lusaka, Zambia. This was for "Commercial & Utility Vehicles". Manufacturing plants for "Passenger Cars" included Cordoba, Argentina; Melbourne, Australia; San Jose, Costa Rica; Mexico City, Mexico; Durban, South Africa and Mariara, Venezuela. The Manufacturing & Final Assembly Plants are well known of Brampton, Ontario, Canada; Kenosha, Wisconsin & Milwaukee, Wisconsin. AMC's Corporate Office was in Detroit, not Kenosha, another common myth. The final Assembly Plant for Commercial & Utility Vehicles was Toledo, Ohio. The Manufacturing & final Assembly Plants for AM General were all in Indiana: Indianapolis, Mishawaka and South Bend. AMC's "Plastics groups" included Evansville, Indiana for plastic injection moldings; Evart, Michigan for injection molded parts and Mount Clemens, Michigan for custom injection moldings. Other plants included Sarnia, Ontario, Canada for engine blocks and castings like rods; Stratford, Ontario, Canada for automotive soft trims and Coleman, Wisconsin for auto wiring harnesses. Sometimes I get tired of decades old 'AMC didn't make their own parts' or 'everything made in Kenosha' and other myths. AMC was a huge, worldwide company with thousands of automotive SUPPLIERS, just like all auto companies back in the day...and NOW. Witness the latest RECALL...this time for air bags made by Takata. Honda, Toyota, a number of automakers use these airbags which have exploded and killed people. http://www.autoblog.com/2014/10/21/takata-airbag-victim-looked-like-she-had-been-stabbed-report/ it is not a 'Ford' or 'Toyota' or 'Honda' airbag made by them but a supplier of a faulty product. I just wished people would not simply believe all the hogwash they read on wikipedia or allpar as that perpetuates a lot of issues out there. 'but I read it on internet so must be true!' Oh, wait! I just posted this to internet too!
