The NYer there seems to be one of the very few that were imported to Switzerland back in the day. Amag was the importer. They even built some A-bodies there (from parts made in the US.) The C-bodies were all imported from the US, but they all needed some ”sorting out” due to pretty haphazard...

'70s Chrysler quality being iffy? I can't believe it (extreme sarcasm) :rofl:My grandfather bought a then-new '71 Charger 383 and within a few thousand miles the transmission ate itself and the clock hands fell off. It proceeded to eat fuel pumps like candy for the rest of its short/miserable...

Like I own an 73 NYB I really love to see CS43T3C108546 made bei AMAG Automontage Schinznach AG. I wish I could afford it, there are for sure very few of this "Made" in Europe. https://www.autoscout24.ch/fr/d/chrysler-new-yorker-brougham-440cu-11605159 Greetings Manuel @ayilar Asking price is...

the AMAG plant assembled Plymouth Forwardlookers. Later on A-bodies. No B- & E-bodies were ever assembled in Schinznach at the AMAG plant. Those got assembled in the Netherlands (De Nekaaf, Rotterdam). That doesn't mean they wouldn't have gotten an AMAG tag if the cars were sold in switzerland...

Thank you for clarification, @fc7_plumcrazy on the AMAG product offerings. BTW, do you know who imported Chryslers to Germany back in the day? Somebody must have done that, as they (at least New Yorker and Imperial) showed up in the Auto Motor und Sport magazine price lists, IIRC in the spring...

Just might be one of those Swiss imports from back in the day. As you know, a company called AMAG AG imported Mopars to Switzerland from the ’50’s to late ’70’s. They even had an assembly line for the A, B and E-bodies. In late ’50’s they assembled the precursors of the C-bodies, too.

they were not imported offically. Chrysler Corp didn't sell here cars after WWII till 1988 when they returned. Only a few big independed car dealers offered some cars. It was just grey market. Known dealers were in Hamburg, Frankfurt, Berlin and Düsseldorf in example. The amount of sold cars is...

In German, but the list of cars is understandable (but seems a tad incomplete): AMAG, Schinznach - Swiss Car Register Indeed, on the AMAG site itself, they mention DeSoto as well. AMAG a commencé l’assemblage automobile à Schinznach-Bad il y a 70 ans | AMAG Autoblog Some nice pictures too.

...Schinznach as the importer, and not as the builder. Thanks, it makes more sense indeed now. I found the assembly breakdown (thank you Google): AMAG CH There's a table that shows everything at the bottom of the page. As it says "Quelle : AMAG Schweiz", we can consider it accurate (Quelle =...

So the end of the assembly line was in Zurich, at AMAG, so to speak. As far as I know, a somewhat similar procedure happened in Finland, too, back in the day. It took the Berner Company (which was the official importer of Chryslers and Plymouths up until 1976) three weeks to fix everything up...

This one is Swiss-assembled, at the Schinznach-Bad plant of Automontage Schinznach AG (now named AMAG). It received the kits from the US, and then assembled the cars. Perhaps the F means this Swiss plant, or that the kits were shipped from the Newark factory.

no C-bodies got assembled over here in europe. Every car which was to be sold new in switzerland "officially" had to go through AMAG though. They added some details to the cars and made adjustments&repairs as the quality was often not what swiss customers expected. They had the same issue with...

they arrived as complete running/driving cars. All these cars have fender tags. At AMAG they installed a headlamp flasher on the steering column in example for the Autobahn. Had it on my swiss 1971 New Yorker and my swiss sold 71 Challenger R/T Since the 60s all Bias ply tires got removed and...

A few C-bodies have been assembled in the "F" plant in Newark, Delaware, and not only export models. There are some 1970 Newports an New Yorkers in the U.S. with that plant code in their VIN. I just don't know how many were produced in that assembly plant -- and why. I would assume that...
