Melville Dundas & Whitson were major Glasgow-based building contractors - built the Rootes factory at nearby Linwood in 1961 (which made the Imps in this film) and the George V bridge in Glasgow centre in 1924 amongst many other big projects over the years. -- Last edit: 2012-07-10 02:29:43

The British built Kew Dodge trucks looked completely different, having either a flat grille, or the "parrot-nose" cab reminiscent of the Thames ET series.
