Default Re: 34 Roadsters how many were built?


For those interested:

Re Mopar BODIES built in Oz, as mentioned earlier:
Dodges were built by T J Richards {coach makers originally} in Adelaide. This arrangement was started when Dodges were imported; long before Chry was even born I think.
Chrysler & Plym bodies were built by Holden body builders {No, not a gym!! They were originally saddlers} in Adelaide also.
Ford built their plant at Geelong & GM snapped up Holden. They got a factory already in operation.
I assume Chry was not happy about this so they bought Richards. . . .
