In 1914, we started to mass produce cars in the USA with interchangeable parts and now look where we are 110 years later. Companies make cars all over the world and most of the parts are proprietary and brand specific.
You can buy a German car or a Japanese car or an American car, so keep that in mind the next time you want to spend a lot of money for a long-term purchase. In the meantime, you will need things like floor mats and wiper blades, so keep reading.
Trico Is an Old American Company that Still Makes Wiper Blades in the USA
Trico has its headquarters in Rochester Hills, Michigan and they manufacture all over the world, including in China. The good news is they go all the way to being the Tri-Continental Corporation that invented the windshield wiper in 1917. They were operating their original factory in Buffalo, New York until 2002. The Trico Ultra, Titan and Maxx are still made in USA.
Mallory Snow Brushes
Mallory Snow Brushes are made in Canada, friendly neighbor to the North of the USA, where they are experts on snow and how to move it from where it doesn’t belong. They are inexpensive (feel free to lose it or lend it to someone forgetful), well-designed with padded grip and attached scraper and high quality. They have about 6 different models of snow brushes like the one in the picture. They also make snow brooms for people with trucks and SUVs that need to get the snow off the roof and dedicated scrapers so you can really get some leverage on that frozen windshield.
Available from Amazon.
