Dodge A100
« on: April 04, 2010, 04:17:16 PM »
The A100 (or Forward Control) line was a family of American compact vans and trucks produced by Chrysler and sold under the Dodge and Fargo brands from 1964 through 1970, competing with the Ford Econoline and Chevy Van, all inspired by the Volkswagen Type 2. It included a pickup truck and van, both with a "cab forward" design unusual in passenger vehicles. The nose was flat, with the engine placed between the driver and passenger, who sat above the front axle. These unibody vehicles used a short, 90-inch (2,286 mm) wheelbase. An A108 was also available from 1967 to 1970, with a longer 108-inch (2,700 mm) wheelbase. The A108 was very popular with camper conversion companies.

A substantially modified, Hemi-powered A100 wheelstanding exhibition pickup called the "Little Red Wagon" driven by Bill "Maverick" Golden was a popular drag strip attraction in the 1960s through the early 2000s. Another substantially modified A100 pickup, designed by Harry Bentley Bradley, was the basis for the Deora show car, also one of the 16 original 1968 Hot Wheels cars. Both the Little Red Wagon and the Deora were sold at the 2009 RM Auctions Icons of Speed and Style Auction. The Little Red Wagon was the top seller at US$550,000.
