US cars in Switzerland

[Jean-Marcel]

Hello to All,

I'm a swiss citizen and my pride and joy is my convertible Plymouth Fury 1963.
she never ran on US territory because she has been assembled here in Schinznach at the time cars were assembled under license. This was done from the late forties to the seventies, mainly because taxes for imported cars were hight but not for unassembled car parts. (for those interested you may refer to http://www.swisscarregister.ch/site/montage_suisse.html )
We have a lot of US, classic cars here, There are numerous meeting, drive in's. and / or swap meet. Opportunity to drive a lot of miles...Should somebody wants to know
more about my car, I and the classic cars life in the country, just ask...!

Greetings to USA from Switzerland

Cordially

JM
