This site was created by a Dodge A100 owner for Dodge A100 owners
The A100 (or Forward Control) line was a family of 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 Bus. 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 wheelbase. An A108 was also available from 1967 to 1970, with a longer 108 inch wheelbase. The A108 was very popular with camper conversion companies.
A substantially modified, Hemi-powered A100 pickup called the "Little Red Wagon" was a popular drag strip attraction in the 1960s.
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. In the animated film Cars, the minor character "Rusty Rust-Eze" is a heavily rusted A100.
