Joe, the Hurst Olds cars were built in Lansing as Oldsmobile was in Lansing which made it covienient for the conversions, however Chrysler was based in Detroit and Brighton just happens to be halfway betwwen Detroit and Lansing, the Darts were built in brighton at Hurst Performance, which may or may not have been a subsiderary of Demmer, but they were definatly built in Brighton. You are correct about the rise of C&C and the fall of Hurst, they were a few miles apart and the founder of C&C was the fprmer VP of Hurst, Dick Chrysler, who had a better product and thus the end of Hurst. Dick Chrysler eventually sold the company to the employees and went on to become a Congressman. Don Leith who was the president of Hurst still lives in the Brighton/Howell area and also has one of the original Darts from the Brighton plant. My old car is in Howell belonging to a friend of mine, Norbert. Motown [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]
