These vehicles have found their way to almost every corner of Canada and to almost every {country of the world, including Russia. The "Built in Oshawa" label on each of them has made the city known throughout the world as Canada's automotive capital. General Motors cars and trucks around the world, and incidental- ly, keeping the name of Oshawa well-known, and of bringing in materials to make them, is one of the little known operations at General Motors and yet one of the most important. Delivering the more than 800 new cars and trucks produced on an average day by General Motors of Canada requires the services and co-operation of more than a dozen shipping and hand- ling companies. 1300 DEALERS Beside shipping ears and trucks to its 1300 dealers from coast to coast, General Motors shipped vehicles to 73 countries of the world last year, includ- ing such remote places as Samoa and The Tonga Islands in the Pacific -- it once took seven months and the services of more than half a dozen shipping com- panies to get a car to a mission- ary in the South Pacific -- and such well-known places as Aus- tralia, New Zealand, South Africa, Denmark, France and by Canadian diplomats). The diplomatic corps is the only user of GM Oshawa-built cars behind the Iron Curtain, so not too many are sent in any year; in fact, none went last year. About 40 per cent of the ve- hicles GM makes are shipped out of Oshawa by rail, which means that there's enough to fill 80 four- vehicle freight cars each day -- a 'goodly sized train load. And it wasn't too long ago that a com- plete train, loaded with 200 ve- hicles was shipped to a dealer in British Columbia. Railroads are used primarily for delivery of vehicles to points beyond economical trucking dis- tances -- the Prairies, the West Coast and the East Coast, al- though trailer trucks have been used on occasion for long-dis- tance hauling. Five years ago a trailer truck was used for the first time to haul four automo- biles to Whitehorse, Yukon Terri- tory, almost 4000 miles from Osh- awa. It took the driver 28 days to do it and it was 50 below zero when he arrived. FIVE TRAINLOADS It was also five years ago that an airplane was used for the first time to deliver automobiles made in Oshawa. Two new 1953 Pon- tiacs were flown from Malton Airport, near Toronto, to a deal- er in a town in the oilfields of Northern Alberta who wanted them in a hurry for a celebra- tion the town was having. Most of the remaining 60 per cent of GM's production -- about 500 vehicles -- are shipped out by transport truck from a com- pound operated by Gen-Auto Ship- pers, Limited, across the road from GM's South Plant. Gen-Auto drivers take delivery of the cars and trucks as they come off the assembly line and drive them to the Gen-Aut com- pound. Gen-Auto turns the ve- hicles over to one of the seven transport companies move them. Each of the trans- port companies has a particular territory it services and the ve- hicles are distributed on that basis. Most of the vehicles for over- seas shipment -- about 8000 last year -- are packed in huge wood- en boxes and shipped out by rail to seaports for delivery by boat.
