How many Swiss export cars?

[Boyan B.]

I'm trying to find out if anyone knows how many Swiss export 1965 Corvettes were made. And if it was an export car, did it for sure get exported out of the US?

Don't know how many were exported to Switzerland, but all European-export Corvettes were "prepped" for overseas shipment by a contractor to Chevrolet, Mortensen's Warehouse, at the port of Baltimore.

And all had a second VIN plate riveted in the engine compartment to the inner fender on the passenger side, describing serial number and various other info (I have to go and look) as well as the importer's name (GM Beil/Bienne). All GM cars exported to Switzerland were also retrofitted with so-called "Toblerones", a stylized mountain logo of the GM Switzerland.

I don't know how many 65s there were, but there was only a couple of 66s.
