MJ: Back in 1974, I had just purchased a Delta 88 Oldsmobile with a 455 cu in and 4 barrel carb. my Yorkshire friend used to refer to it as, "Your BIG AMERICAN CAR" One day I invited him to go to a farm equipment show with me, close to 120 miles one way. I filled the car with gas before I picked him up. After we drove about 100 miles, I drew his attention to my gas gauge, still over 3/4. His responce,"By the hell, what's it got, a 40 gallon tank. The Mrs. told me to take lots of money, be polite and buy the gas." I said, Gordon it has roughly same size tank as your Chevelle. Well nothing doing, as we approached the show we had to fill with gas, he wanted to know the milage. He knew the distance, he did the figures and came up with 22.6 miles per Imperial gallon. He was very annoyed as he was only getting 18 mpg with his Chevelle. I told him his Yorkshire foot was too heavy. I said,"You imigrated to Canada to buy a big American Car, then when you got here your big mistake was buying a half big American car." We had a lot of fun, he was a great guy to travel with especially on farm related events. He was so interested in everything farm related.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
