Interesting!
Hanno, that is quite a find! Canadian automotive history, 1900 to 1950 is my hobby, and particularly GM of Canada's history. You might like to know that GM of Canada incorporated CANADIAN PRODUCTS LIMITED in 1920, when they established two big factories in Walker Road, Walkerville, in 1919 but although the company existed it never traded although the Walker Road plant and two nearby 'Fisher Body' Plants became the 'Canadian Products DIVISION' of GM of Canada and then CP Ltd was dissolved by 1933.
In addition there was GENERAL MOTORS PRODUCTS OF CANADA LIMITED which was the sales organisation, though they did play a part in the CMP development story from 1936.
I am sure that Canada Motor Products Limited were also based in Walkerville then Windsor, as that building looks familiar!!
