Default CMP Products Limited

Look what I found on eBay: "One new old stock CMP products distributor rotor for1932 to 1936 Ford passenger cars and trucks with V8 engine."
I never knew there actually was a company called Canadian Motor Products - or CMP for short - in Canada before the war!

Default 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!!

Default old 'CMP' tin fuse box

I have a small "Canada Motor Products" tin box, that probably held 5 glass fuses. The cover has that nice 'CMP' crest shown at the top of the picture Hanno posted at the start of this thread.

Sorry, no picture of it to post right now, will do so when I can.

Cheers,

Brian
