That is how they are getting the actual Diamler ones into the US now.  They
are "typed" in the US system for importing vehicles because the US variant
is almost identical to the European version.  Anything westfalia is going to
have to be made in europe as they have never opened a US plant.

Diamler-Chrysler corp started the US plant for the North American market
last year.  The Diamler Westy mod has been getting done for two years now.
BTW  Diamler-Chrysler owns Westfalia Autowerks.  Bought them out in about
1992.

Airstream is bringing them in and the "uplifting" them by adding the big top
and a couple extras.
