Milestone CMP's: Canada's 500,000th military vehicle

[David Dunlop]

The Muckie-Mucks in Ottawa don't generally like to travel too far from home, in case they get lost. The GM plant in Oshawa is a lot closer to Ottawa than the Ford plant in Windsor. If the milestone vehicle just happened to be coming off the Ford line, then it makes sense it would be driven up to the GM line for the Muckie-Mucks to celebrate. Collectively they would not have had enough bread crumbs to make it safely to Windsor and home.

I just hope the chaps in the cab were the actual Ford people who drove the truck up to Oshawa and home. If they were GM workers, it would have been a very interesting drive back to the Ford plant.

A friend pointed out that William Gregg wrote the Ford was a Chevrolet….
