In the Vernon City Directory for London, 1922, this elegant building on
Dundas Street was listed as the home of
the Ruggles Motor Truck.
This was a Saginaw, Michigan, company that built trucks from 1921-1928 and which also operated a plant in London until 1926. Today
Ruggles are exceedingly rare as f
ew Ruggles survived the Great Depression. I understand there's a truck in a San Diego museum and a bus in Australia. When a rare
Ruggles appears at an historic vehicle auction, it's news.
