We have restored one of these cars.
There were 3 CKD cars built in 57. 2 to Mexico and 1 to Cuba we
did one of the 2 CKD cars that was from Mexico it was the original
owner restoring it for his grandson. We still have the oe windshield
from this car with the Mexico DF sticker on the windshield.
There was a plaque on the firewall next to the VIN tag that states
ENSAMBLADO EN
MEXICO
POR WILLYS
MECICANA C.A.
If you have one of our photo sets of the BN4 you will see this badge
on the firewall of that car.
