Youtube video of Chinese automobile knockoffs -- and they didn't include the Cherokee.

I was under the impression that the Chinese Cherokee was a licensed product.

Chrysler retired the tooling and shipped it to China.

I often wonder about what happens to retired tooling. 

MJ tail light molds for example, not the entire process, but the molds themselves, a remnant of the molds, one each, are likely tucked away in a warehouse somewhere and long forgotten about. 

 

It would not surprise if the Big3 have underground vaults where select cars are stored, 69 Camaros, 68 Mustangs, 70 Challengers....etc.....that come straight off the assembly line, 0 miles, never driven, never again meant to be touched or seen.........don't guess the public would ever know, but I suspect so.

I know where one of chysler's big "vaults" is...
