This “Big Three” automaker likes to flaunt that its vehicles are made in the United States. It is true that the models are assembled in its factories in Detroit, Michigan. However, many parts come from China. The company makes more than half of the parts abroad! For example, only 46% of the parts used in the Chevy Silverado come from the United States. On the other hand, the Chevy Colorado only uses 51%. The Chevy Corvette is the most “American-made” vehicle in its lineup. Did you know that the automaker sells its product in nearly all countries? Chevy cars are particularly popular in South Korea, although they were sold under the name “Daewoo Motors” prior to 2011.

Airstream Campers

Founded in 1920, this trailer company is best known for its rounded caravan. Airstream Campers also made a name for itself with its aluminum coachwork that dates back to the ‘30s. This design was based on the creations of Hawley Bowlus, who is the mind behind the Spirit of St. Louis aircraft. The trailers are made in a factory in Jackson Center, Ohio. At the moment, the factory has about 800 employees. Now owned by Thor Industries, the company runs the oldest factory of airstream trailers in the industry.
