Default General Motors Peninsular SA

GM Peninsular started with a sales office in Madrid, and then expanded to become an ssembly plant for trucks in 1932 based in Barcelona. After the civil war started the Americans vacated through France I believe and the plant then assembled Chevrolet trucks for the military and then when parts ran out, I believe that they produced the Maraton ??? [or Marathon] is the spelling correct??? GM moved back in in 1939 and I believe some assembly started up again but closed 1940 because of monetary problems although some form of back-door deliveries through GM in Portugal went on. I will look up my history tomorrow morning.
