The US Agency for Rootes was in Connecticut, I
believe. The cars came by canoe to New York and
then by truck to Connecticut for further shipment
to the dealers. When I was in grad school in the
early 1960's, I met some guys who had worked at
the Rootes agency, whose name I forget, though Curt Meinel would know.
