Ahhhhh. That's a sort of sad commentary on manufacturing in the US. The most American built product is a Toyota, I believe...
I had forgotten how intense that original black and white video was. Amazing thing.

Lol...Most american product.
At least Zippo lighters are still made in Pennsylvania. :)
After all the bitching and trade protections that HD caused they are now over 30% manufactured in Asia. They still talk a mean American game, though.
Everything is going off-site through cheaper labour and environmental laws making manufacturing cheaper. I worked at a GM auto plant for 25 years and saw the slow demise of the industry. Now Ford, GM-Holden, Toyota and Mitsubishi are no longer manufacturing here. It's not just cars though, many other industries too.
That's progress for you.
I honestly think it could have been done right, but instead it was done cheapest. It makes me particularly sad that Holden isn't there. That's some sad business.
So many years of history went begging when GM-Holden wound up. I started there in 88 as an 18 year old with 5500 people there...Now, the factory is empty. A bit sad. Faith's grandmother used to work in the canteen there in the 50's...She's 98 now, sharp as a tack. Her grandfather worked there too. Most people in South Australia know someone who worked there, or worked there themselves. Sad really. Thanks progress.
Yeah. When I was born a family farm in our area was 960 acres. When I left the area 40 years later it was over 3000. A lot of people don't live there anymore.
