21. That's a trick question.

Do you mean 'assembled'?

I drive a Chevy the husband a Dodge. Both American cars, not sure where the parts came from or where they were built.
My son drives a Toyota truck, built in the US with most parts from Japan. He also rides a Harley, I think the majority of parts are from here and it was built here.

Funny thing is, we discovered his Toyota was more "American made" than his buddies Ford. I can't remember what model/year the Ford was. Older sedan.
