Dave Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I`m going to Chicago in may, Does anyone know if any part of the old Diamond T factory or site still exists? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond-t-steve Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 A few years ago I looked up Diamond T's factory address on google earth and went into street view. unfortunatly all I could see at the time was waste ground You could try that yourself incase I was looking at the wrong place.

Already tried that, Steve. If i was at the correct location, the funfair was in town on the waste ground you saw. I`m not expecting a fully interactive visitor centre but surely there must be something noting the company`s achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Could be worth looking on American Truck Historical Society's site - http://www.aths.org If they haven't got a thread on this might be worth asking the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Alvis factory on Holyhead Road is marked by nothing more than having a retail park named after it, which does include a multiplex cinema and McDonalds. Saracens, Saladins and CVRT's replaced by big macs and cut price settees...state of the country etc etc moan moan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Play the reverse psychology deal on them. Tell them you won`t eat another Mc burger until they rename one the Mc Stolly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
