...these two guys started it all... General Motors chairman Roger Smith, left, and Toyota Motor Co. chairman Eiji Toyoda exchange pens after signing a joint production agreement Feb. 17, 1983 to build a Japanese-American car at the idle GM plant in Fremont, Calif. (Now called"NUMMI")Wonder what we would be driving if Toyota decided to start making cars in USA without GM's help?PS- Notice the spelling of the Toyota chairmans' last name, whichwas the original name of the company...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Industries
