Talk:Oakland Motor Car Company

message: I've seen somewhere (just don't ask where...) early Cads were also designed by Alanson Brush (whose page doesn't mention it, either...). Can somebody confirm?  Also, I don't see something else I've seen: Oaklands were once made in Canada...  Trekphiler 16:13, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I know this was nearly ten years ago, but both articles have been amended to include Mr. Brush. And it seems Oaklands were always manufactured in Pontiac, Michigan. --Stratocaster27t@lk 01:12, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
