Just "Chevrolet" in Australia. Edit: I found some old classifieds ads from the 50s/60s with 1958 Chevrolet Biscaynes listed for sale (Link to "trove.nla.gov.au"). But Chevrolet didn't market it as the Biscayne in Australia, just as the "Chevrolet". By the way, why did this generation Chevy only last for 1 model year? -- Last edit: 2024-02-20 14:28:02 |

I think it was only the Tri-Five Chevys that were sold without a model name in Australia. |

It also has a Biscayne script clearly visible. |

Shouldn't the origin be USA? |

Indeed, they were sold as Biscayne series there. Link to "oldcarbrochures.org" |

But it is still a US-origin model, no? So parts produced in Canada but assembled in Australia (for the "made in" tag, we rather use the final assembly location, I think) -- Last edit: 2024-02-18 16:29:14 |

Definitely, even it's CKD won't change the model origin We got lots of similar cases in Taiwan, especially for Chinese brands Agree, equipment may be adjusted for local market at the final assembly, use it for "made in" tag would be more precisely |

Yes, a very complicated assembly method by these companies carries out. A fine example of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Allant%C3%A9 |
