The first 66 Swiss-made Plymouths rolled off the newly constructed assembly line in Schinznach-Bad in the second half of 1949. A total of 30,000 Chrysler, Plymouth, DeSoto, Dodge, Fargo, Studebaker and VW Karmann-Ghia vehicles were assembled there by 1972.
As the decades passed, an idea first conceived for tax reasons evolved into a mark of quality. That is probably also why many of these ‘Schinznach assembly’ cars have survived to this day.
Celebrate the 75th anniversary of Automontage Schinznach together with other owners of these classics at the Swiss Museum of Transport.
