Buy American?

Let me ask this, does an american made car have EVERYTHING on it made in America? Im talking even the plastic and metal and all. Or is some of the material imported? I really dont know the answer to this.

Besides I spent 21 yrs. serving for my right to purchase what I want in this free country.

There is really no such thing as a 100% "made in America" car. All manufcturers are required to list the US Vs. imported parts content on the window sticker. For instance, most Chevy's are composed of 15-40% foreign parts content. Many so called "foreign" brands made in America have a higher US content...

"Even the cop cars are made out side the U.S.".

The current Crown Victoria Police Interceptor is built in Canada.

GM's Chevrolet Caprice PPV, which is set to compete against Ford's Police Interceptor, will be imported from Australia.
