Rolls Royce cars have always sold well in the USA.

The problem was many people didn't believe the Springfield cars were as
good as the ones made in England.

So even though it meant paying an import duty, people would request the
ones made in England. So it didn't make sense to keep the Springfield
plant open.

1931 was also the year they bought Bentley.
