Cars

These days vehicles parts for vehicles come from all over the world, but that hasn’t changed the fact that Michigan is still a global leader when it comes to assembling vehicles. To determine where a car was built, check the VIN (vehicle identification number) which can be found on the lower dashboard on the driver’s side of  most cars. This 17-character number is unique to each vehicle. If the number starts with a 1, 4, or 5, it was made in the U.S.A. If you’re looking for the factory where the car was assembled, look at character 11.
