The Dodge A-Series A100 A108 (Forward Control) was a series of vans and pickups that Chrysler produced under the brand names Dodge and Fargo from 1964 to 1970.

History

The Dodge A-Series competitors were the Ford Econoline and the Chevy Van . Driver's cab and engine were arranged above the front axle. The A100 had a wheelbase of 2286 mm. From 1967 to 1970, the A108 was also offered with a wheelbase of 2743 mm. The A108 was also converted into camping buses from companys such as Travco corp. Like the popular model of the first-generation VW bus.

1967 was also the year in which some innovations, inter alia, because of security, held entry. Crash pad for the passenger, removal of the ignition key from the driver's knee area, dual main brake cylinders, reversing lights, cladding to the driver and passenger doors, ...

A much tuned A100 pickup equipped with a Chrysler Hemi engine made the circuits as Little Red Wagon driven by Bill "Maverick" Golden - from the 1960s to the year 2000.

From 1966 to 1971, Dodge built mid-size L-series trucks based on the A100.

Another significantly modified A100 pickup, designed by Harry Bentley Bradley , was the basis for the Deora show car , one of the 16 Original Hot Wheels 1968 model cars .

In the movie Blood Court in Texas drive the five teenagers in an A100 van with developed second row of seats. In the movie Cars , the supporting role of the Dusty Rust-Eze is filled with a heavily rusted A100.
