Kyotes from another perspective
Most people are aware that car manufacturers have been known to
borrow a thing or two from other manufacturers. The big 3, Chrysler
Ford and GM, have sister companies or subsidiaries that have virtually
identical product lines ie. Ford Taurus/Mercury Sable, Dodge Caravan/Plymouth
Voyager....and sometimes they take design ideas from the competition. The
1933 Chevy and the 1932 Ford took most of their design highlights
from the1929-32 Duesenburg and Cord.. Everyone knows that this happened
to the Manx. There are countless buggy designs that are based on
the Manx. There were franchises that Dean Jeffries sold to increase
his share of the dunebuggy market, a move that Bruce Meyers did not do.
But even still there are a few designs that based on the Mantaray II Kyote.
If this did not happen we would not have the vast array of beautiful buggies
to enjoy.
Other North American manufacturers
Over in England they have the Kyote
II and a few Mantaray II Kyote based buggies
