For a point of historical accuracy, Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, and DeSoto DID in fact have their own engines; as did the Ford Motor Company. The various divisions started using each others engines much earlier than GM (passenger); although GM trucks used various modified passenger division engines as early as the 1920's.
Even after the various Chrysler divisions started sharing engines, the divisions had some say as to accessories. Example, Plymouth used the "price leader" Carter BBR series on their 230, while Dodge used a much more expensive, and much superior Stromberg on their 230. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Thanks for supporting the correct information that I tried imparting to dragncar...
I guess, when I posted that information I mistakenly assumed most people knew and understood the fact that all of the big three have gone to corporate engines. GM, to their credit, held out the longest.

Why would the GTO be put on an Impala platform? The GTO was never built on the "big" car chassis. That would have been a bigger fraud than any of the things that you claim.
Maybe you need to get away from the gas fumes in the garage - it's obviously affecting your senses...
