Yes, Switzerland they imported, but as far as I know, they stopped assembling in 1975

Here is a breakdown of cars they made.

Thanks for the pic! Poor 74. Needs to be saved!

There are actually quite a few. But more the later models starting '77. They sold a lot GM cars in the late 70's over here. The cars were good and well optioned, and people over here always admired those big american machines. The only thing was, that the tax was per cubic inches, which made them pretty expensive to register, and the higher amount of gas they burnt. Also spare parts were crazy expensive ,too. A Camaro or a Malibu was a luxury car over here, like a Mercedes.

Nowdays u can register classic cars pretty cheap. Tax and insurance.
There are a lot of vintage US cars that have been imported the last 30 years.

I only have found one picture (also a white one , but S.D.) on the net.
There's a 74 SD455 TA with vinyl top for sale on the Performance Years website if you haven't seen that one yet.
Also a white car.

Dumb question on German law. Does the vehicle-in-tow tailights have to be hooked up to the trailer lights? That must be a bit of a PIA. Can there just be an extra set of lights (magnetic or clamp on) that you attach to the car?
