More scans from Motor Specs and Prices, 1948 ed.

The British Plymouth is listed as its own entity from 1930 to 1932, and is Canadian sourced.

The British Desoto is listed from 1929 to 1932 as Canadian sourced, then for 1939 and again for 1946 as American sourced (curious!).

Finally, still from 1948's Motor Specs and Prices, here is the British Dodge data. This is the most curious of all. The Dodge is listed as being American sourced. It's shown for 1925-1940, 1942, and 1946. But not 1941?? The 1942 listing is interesting, as it would corroborate the 1942 Dodge (if that's the brand it was) David saw a picture of.

Default re badged cars

Similar to Canada , the local Richards/Chrysler cars here , were all Plymouths , rebadged as Dodge and De Soto . It was a cheap way of marketing .

I guess they figured the market was just not big enough to justify making the whole range .
