Building the Kenosha Cadillac

The New Book of Knowledge.  NY:  Grolier Inc., 1979.
Rambler:  a name that started with Nash and ended with AMC before Renault took over.  According to Alfred P. Sloan, Jr.'s book, My Years with General Motors (Macfadden-Bartell, 1965), in  April 1916 Charles W. Nash formed the Nash Motors Company and three months later bought the Thomas B. Jeffery Company of Kenosha, Wisconsin, a former bicycle manufacturer which produced an automobile called the Rambler.  The last Rambler rolled off of the assembly line 10 years before this encyclopedia was published.

    Could you please confirm the source of this image? I own the 1979 edition of this text and it does not contain this image.

    I'll see what I can do, but 2012 was a long time ago, and i expect this book is long gone.
