The wonder years

Go! Camp & Drive

August/September 2022

The sixties are considered the golden age of the South African motor industry. Here are four giants from that time: one ended, one prevails, and the other two underwent a few chages.

The wonder years

STANLEY MOTORS

Stanley Motors, in its plant in Johannesburg, assembled WillysOverland Jeeps, Hudsons, and Peugeots in 1960. When Kaiser Manufacturing Co bought Willys-Overland, Stanley Motors had to cede its Jeep to Preator Monteerders, the predecessor of BMW South Africa (read more on p 34).

Two claims to fame? Stanley Motors was the first plant to use petroleum gas furnaces to dry the enamel paint on vehicle bodies, and they prided themselves for having a separate training centre and cafeteria for "non-Europeans".
