Kusan Mexican Auto-Loader Automobiles - Part II
The Auto-Loader automobiles were made in a variety of colors and styles by Plastimarx of Mexico. The cars pictured on this page are a later version and have four headlights. Early Auto-Loader automobiles had two headlights. Louis Marx and Company held a controlling interest in Plastimarx from 1955 to 1972. Photos courtesy of the G. Clarke collection.
