740's for the N.A market were assembled from container'd Euro parts in
Dartmouth, N.S. The 760's continued to be assembled in Sweden due to their
interior and HVAC requirements. All that leather...all that insane
auto-climate stuff.
That being said, the parts came from all over. 740/60 owners will note that
there are many French/German parts on these cars. I even had a GM power
steering pump on my 82 245DL, assembled in Dartmouth.
The Dartmouth assembly plant used teams of 6 persons on each car, start to
finish. That was a cool feature. Uncool feature? Engine blocks sitting
unprotected on the loading dock, next to the recieving door, for weeks at a
time.
BTW, I won't be posting comments on this subject again; this is the 3rd time
this thread has come up in the recent past...do your research before you
ask, y'all.
