Hi racers,
 
A German fellow slot car racer bought this chassis among with other stuff from the '90s. But obviously it's older, looks similiar to a Champion. We don't know the manufacturer, because it is not engraved at the bottom.

Can someone help, please?
 
Thanks in advance!

Made in Japan by AYK, marketed by Champion and possibly others.

American Line is a product label from REHCO. A few years back they had a ton of these chassis. My guess is they purchased them when they bought the other former Riggen products they now sell. Steve D. would probably know more details since he once worked for REHCO.
