Built in Antwerp? Or Rotterdam? |

http://www.allpar.com/mopar/perkins.html "Hans Ensing wrote: Official production of Chrysler group cars equipped with Perkins engines started in the Antwerp (Belgium) plant in 1956 and lasted there till 1959 when production was stopped, and Chrysler cars were built in the Chrysler International plant in Rotterdam (the Netherlands). In Rotterdam, a limited number of Perkins diesels were installed up until 1962. In that year, a Antwerp taxi company issued a tender for a major number of diesel cars. Delivery should take place fairly quickly after the purchasing decision. Chrysler had a historically good relationship with the client, and decided to take the risk and ordered material for low range Plymouth Savoy models (normally not sold in Benelux) without engines in advance, to be able to meet the deadline". |
