Hi all, i may join in : Gm had a assembley plant in Biel Switzerland where they have put Chevys together, but realy most of the GM cars for Switzerland / Europe. The 15 Convertibles are actually Touring Pheatons which where produced for the swiss army. They are ready to deliver outside the plant. In switzerland we have four national laguages : German, French, Italian and Romantsch. Just to understand, the town Biel is on the border of German / Fernch speaking area. So the word montage has nothing to do with monday's ( monday-car = all wrong with it ), but means mounting ( assembley ). Well done for those who made the way to translate...
As i own one of those 15 Chevy master 85 Touring Pheaton , i can answer some questions. of those 15 car, four still exist, two of them i ownd and i've seen all 4 existing cars.
I have Newsfilms ( Wochenschau ) of that time, where they report about Swiss army 1939 and show a view scenes with the Swiss touring Pheatons.
@ Brewster :
Thanks for your pictures, as i look closley i think these cars on your pic's are 1939 Chevy CONVERTIBLES build in Belgum, as the doorwindows, windscreen and Top is different.
@ All : if you like to see pictures when i bought the car and after Restoaration, go to my website = mainpage and go to the link " Hochzeitsfahrt ", and " Projekte " = Chevrolet master at least until i found out how to post pic's....
