    Identify this Manx

    I know there are hundreds of Meyers Manx copies out there. I recently got this one for my kid. It has an unusual hood shape. Does anybody know what company might have made this body?

    Thanks! I seem to recall that the Ocelot was produced by the Chapala Dusters and featured the old six-volt VW headlight buckets in the front fenders.

    Wasn't it referred to as "The Ferrari of the Sand"? It was one of my favorite 'glass cars when it was introduced.
