European A-body owners: where are you?

Then it is a 'Schinznach - Car' - built in the US and shipped without seats to Switzerland and finished there
 
Hello everyone

I also have a 1962 Valiant built in Schinznach. I was able to take over the car from my godfather a year ago. His father bought it new in 1962. So it's a family member :) .

Welcome!

Very nice Valiant!

A 'real' Schinznach Car, built in 1962 in the Schinznach plant - one of 1149.
 
Hi I’m in the UK near Bristol, with a 69 Barracuda. Just waiting for the roads to lose the salt then new rims and tyres and out we go. The previous owner made a few modifications that I will put back to original over time.

Okay that is very interesting
I know the Schinznach built cars had the stickers but my Valiant doesnt, but it was "restored" so I assume it got removed. Or maybe it was not attached in the first case because mine got the "defog/defrost rear window option". But what it got is the Schinznach tag in the engine bay.

Your Valiant isn't a Schinznach built car. It has been built in Newark, Delaware and then imported in Switzerland.
Code C4F on the fender tag : 225ci, 1974, Newark plant.

Yes, not built/fully assembled in Schinznach, but finished in Schinznach with special seats and so on...

These cars also got a Schinznach-Tag and this sticker:
