This is VERY interesting information for me. Thanks a lot!

I never would have thought the car was assembled in Mexico as cars down here were sold with speedometers in kilometers (including Cadillacs, Packards or any car as far as I know off). One other curious thing is cars down here were generally very austere or plain. Normally they had manual windows, no heaters... and my car has both the underseat heater, defroster, electric windows, etc.

Is it known what CKD meant in the sense of how were cars sent out of Detroit? Was that in primer, or with parts unassembled? Curious mind wants to know...

Thanks,
Victor
