American Motors built an assembly plant in Brampton, Ontario in 1961 for production of motor vehicles for the Canadian market as well as for the United States. The plant built and offered almost all AMC vehicles through the 1960s, allowing AMC to take advantage of the [[Canada–United States Automotive Products Agreement]] established between the two countries in 1965.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=zbPAC7_rOWIC&pg=PT196&lpg=PT196&dq=AMC+best+position+to+capitalize+on+the+agreement+Brampton+operation Anastakis, p. 128.]</ref> By 1969 production at the [[Brampton Assembly (AMC)|Brampton Assembly]] had grown to such a size that AMC had the plant producing vehicles for the eastern half of the American continent while Kenosha produced vehicles for the western half of the continent.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=clStFG50uGEC&pg=PA128&dq=In+1969+AMC%27s+Brampton+operation+produced+for+the+entire+eastern Anastakis, pp. 128-129.]</ref> The plant ceased building the [[AMC Ambassador|Ambassador]] after 1968 and imported the [[AMC Javelin|Javelin]] and later [[AMC Matador|Matador]] from the United States but continued to build the Gremlin and [[AMC Hornet|Hornet]] throughout the 1970s.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://southernclassic.tripod.com/id3.html |title=The Last AMC Built (from ''American Motoring'', Newsletter of the American Motors Owners Association, Vol. 12, No. 4, September 1988 |first=Alan |last=Strang |work=southern classic |accessdate=7 January 2016}}</ref> Being a Commonwealth country on the [[Metric system]], Canadian Gremlin speedometers read in [[kilometers per hour]].
