Very nice history

Model # 370 is a Standard Sedan. The paint code of 3402 breaks down as follows:

Body, Hood, Rad Shell and Gas Tank Cover: McLaughlin Blue - 2468187

Stripe: Brittany Blue - 28850959

Fenders: Black Enamel

Wire Wheels: Black - 842048

All paint colours are DUCO. The 223 cu.in. , L-head- inline 8 was 84 horse power with a syncro-mesh trans. It would have cost $1035 new in 1934.

I wish this '34 was in Ontario!!!

Just thought someone would like to know what the codes broke down to.

  Garry, sent a PM! Where this car is located, along with the Dodge p/u, I am sure there are very few people who know about it!! It was a long hike that day!! Maybe I will try and relocate this one as well as it's twin in the summer months to a more closer to home location!!! Yes, that '57  is in decent condition, except the mieces have the interior ruined!!! It too may find it's way home to me as well..........Here are a couple of more pics..

Vincent Jr has prompted me to continue to find out about the Regina GM Factory. It is important to me also because my 1934 Chevrolet is from Regina (brought out to Ontario sometime back in the 1960's). It was most likely assembled in that plant. I have been trying to find info on that plant with not much luck. The only thing that I can add to Vince's info is that this plant was constructed to supply cars to the potential buyers in the Western provinces. It produced the Pontiacs, Olds, Chevrolet's and Mclaughlin Buicks.

Walkersville, Ontario plant produced engines and GMC trucks and possibly Maple Leaf trucks as well. St. Catherines, Ontario produced items such as shock absorbers, axles etc... The shocks on my 34 are clearly marked "Delco-Lovejoy", "St.Catherines".

Many zone offices and Parts Depot's were spread out through the provinces as well. The thing that I love the most is that it is widely described that all of the Canadian GM Executives and almost All employees were Canadian. GM of Canada had its own agenda separate from the U.S. agenda and that proved successful.

Vincent, do us and yourself a favour. Go rescue that '57 and those old '34's!!!!

Found a photo of the Regina Factory.

PM sent!!!

 

I have drafted a complete history of the Regina Plant...and would add that from 1932-1937 Regina became the Western Distribution Center. Cars destined frrom Oshawa had from 1935 (with the new model system) a 'W' added to the model number.

Note the Walkerville-built engine...I think 1934 was the first year for Pontiac engines to be built there, and also GMC units that used the same engine.

Here's a 1934 U.Sl tudor at the Shelton, WA Historical Society Show this summer. This is just one nice ride>
