Camaro Convertible Contracted to Canadians

Modern cars aren’t built entirely by the manufacturers. Using components and pieces manufactured by other suppliers, most modern cars are as much assembled as they are built. And this is especially true when it comes to convertibles.

But GM’s hotly anticipated Camaro convertible has had some trouble finding someone to build its folding fabric top. Originally going to Edscha AG in German, the convertible’s production contract went the way of the dinosaur when Edscha did the same; forced into insolvency by a convertible market that was all but extinct in 2009. But that hasn’t convinced GM to cancel the convertible’s production, and they’ve since contracted Canadian company Magna to design and produce the car. With production slated for GM’s Bowling Green, Kentucky plant (the same that builds the Corvette), Magna’s Car Top Systems group has promised production won’t be delayed.
