| Miscellaneous Info: | The MEX-1 Carros Medios Acorazados (Medium Armored Car) was based upon a German Thyssen design, although built by the American Chrysler Corporation. The vehicle is also called the MAC-1, which is the Spanish acronym for Carros Medios Acorazados. Approximately 40 vehicles were originally sold to Mexico in the Armored Car configuration. However in approximately 1993, all the remaining vehicles were completely rebuilt and reconfigured into Armored Personnel Carriers. |
