Hi Mike
It's always a more complicated story than we realize , history is like that ! I believe Canada Cycle Motor Co. ( Vic.) was one of a group of distributors that jointly owned Chrysler Dodge Distributors ( Australia ) Ltd. which was formed in 1937. CDD was wholly Australian owned until 1951 when Chrysler Corporation USA bought a controlling interest

Thanks Mike - knew it was a distribution network and not a subsidiary, just wasn't sure of the legal structure.

1904
A very early invoice from CCM Melbourne dated 1904 . https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/234390...cle%20motor%22
And, a nice pic of early Melbourne https://viewer.slv.vic.gov.au/?entit...86&mode=browse So I guess CCM received CKD shipments from Nth. America and assembled the cars on site ? There was also a branch in QLD https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/153923...22&startPos=20 CCM were still trading as late as 1964 https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/a...cle%20motor%22
