Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2010-09-26 15:11	I think they were indeed exported to Thailand.

dsl ◊ 2010-09-26 22:57	Did Chrysler Australia make LHD for export?
Ingo ◊ 2010-09-26 23:03	The wiper-position is RHD-ish, as the other VH-Chryslers, I've overlooked.
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2010-09-26 23:04	If you're asking about LHD in relation to exports to Thailand in particular, it doesn't matter because traffic there drives on the left. -- Last edit: 2010-09-26 23:04:32
dsl ◊ 2010-09-26 23:25	So another country which appears to drive on left but imports lots of LHD US cars?
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2010-09-26 23:54	I haven't noticed other Thai films being full of American cars. I think that the film has a period setting, or at least the director was going for a retro look.
valiant1962 ◊ 2010-09-29 08:22	I don't think Chrysler Aust built any LHD cars. They only exported to RHD markets - UK, South East Asia, Japan, New Zealand, and South Africa as far as I know -- Last edit: 2010-10-27 06:12:52
