HST was an American company with a maquiladora in TJ. One thing they specialized in was CF products.

HST was not commissioned by SAI to strictly manufacture for LA, that is ridiculous. But the few HST made CSX numbers with the LA suffix were, from conversations I've had with an HST exec as well as confirmations from people like Tony (and just confirmed in the Registry), built exclusively for the 'LA' market (the rich Mexican guys).

I think there was a misunderstanding in the previous posts. It read as if CompClassics thought twobjshelbys claimed that HST was a manufacturer strictly for LA.
