I never want to go back to the “good old days” when I’d routinely swap out starters, alternators, water pumps, etc. Quality parts made in the U.S.A. were not on the build list for any car I bought back when.
I’m a believer that high quality is a management decision, not a regional one. The stuff DELCO built for NASA was likely second to none. The alternator on my ’78 Caprice, not so delicious… When management decides that quality engineering is very important then it can be built in many places. Nobody complains about the build quality of an iPhone (made in China.) I love our Tesla, built right here in Fremont!
Our coaches were built to a very high standard in a time when GM made some real trash. I’m sorry to be on this soapbox, but your note made me chuckle and think with great reminiscence of a time that only existed in my imagination.
Back to your regularly scheduled GMC content!
