Do any of you long-time residents recall if the Citroen Mehari was actually sold "new" in Hawaii? For all these years, it was my understanding that the only (U.S.) Citroen dealers who opted to order these were based in Florida and California.
This recent article (see link) indicates that this Mehari at auction bore Hawaii license plates.

If I recall correctly, these were (barely) legal under existing Federal regulations. The NHTSA Nazis tightened the loophole and this put an end to any more importations.
