I was referring to resident's taste in cars.

But what you mention is sad.

Used to be at least two big gm plants- Delco Moraine, and Harrison Radiator, and the Chrysler AirTemp plant.

Actually,they emigrated to Canada first, long before the Revolutionary war, so it was most likely not "British" sounding enough. William Chrysler was born in Canada and is one of the founders of Chatham, Ontario (Now Chatham-Kent). His son is the one who moved to US, and WP was born there.
