David, did I take your comments about RHD vehicles from GM to mean they were built with RHD in the US? I always assumed that all RHD US style vehicles, at least light/medium trucks and cars shipped from North America were built in Canada.

Up until 1939 say, Bloomfield Boxing Plant and Tarrytown, New York, plants exported rhd Chevrolet cars and trucks: the former crated CKD units. This carried on with military orders from overseas save that Flint, Michigan seem to have been the main source of lhd trucks for overseas governments until the whole Corporation went on to a war footing. Post-war, I believe that Tarrytown produced all rhd vehicles, and in the case of passenger cars this went on until the end of 1963 Model Year, from whence until the end of 1969 MY production it was St Therese, Quebec or Oshawa, Ontario save that Chevy II Novas for export including Canada switched to Willow Run, MI in late 1967 and I believe that those exported to South Africa to the end of 1969 MY would have been from Willow Run.
