Camel – 1944 Armed Forces Chevrolet

Full soft pack of 20 cigarettes with craft paper inner wrapping, cellophane wrapper and a free of tax or taxpaid stamp on the top which was added to cigarette packs that had the tax paid by the manufacturer for shipment overseas to the Armed Forces during WWII. With the wording «Compliments of Chevrolet Local 659 UAW-CIO 1208 Glenwood Avenue Flint Michigan».


Camel cigarette packs were a gift or donation from Chevrolet Local 659 UAW-CIO in Flint, Michigan. During WWII, the United Auto Workers-Congress of Industrial Organizations (UAW-CIO), along with companies and unions, often provided goods like cigarettes to soldiers as a gesture of support. Chevrolet, as part of General Motors and the Arsenal of Democracy, converted its civilian auto production into military manufacturing. Its Flint factories played a crucial role in wartime production, building GM M8 and M20 armored cars, M4 Sherman tank components, aircraft engines and parts, as well as trucks and military transport vehicles.
