Choose An Ugly But Running Project: 1969 Dodge A100 vs 1973 Mercury Cougar
For our final entry in Despised Car Week, I’ve chosen a type of vehicle I know a lot of you aren’t fond of: sketchy projects.
The Dodge A100 was a competitor to the Volkswagen Type 2, but also to the Ford Econoline and Chevy Corvair Greenbrier. The 1967 Sportsman example selling on Bring a Trailer is a great piece of ...
When talking about Dodge pickup trucks, we usually think about the long-running D-series (1960-1993) or the Ram nameplate that debuted in 1980. But Dodge also offered a forward control hauler based on ...
With all the time I spend prowling around self-service wrecking yards, I've seen only two A100s in such yards since I bought mine in 2010. There was this '69 Tradesman A108 cargo van in Denver, and ...
If you're looking to buy a new pickup truck, there are a lot of great options currently on the market. In addition to multiple off-road and luxury models that didn't exist until a few years ago, the ...

Specifically, we're talking about this 1969 Dodge A100 that will be for sale at this year's Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach auction. It has an orange-on-yellow paint scheme that won't be to everyone's ...
When you take a small, forward-control van chassis and motivate it with the unkillable Chrysler Slant Six engine, good things happen (as long as you don't crash it, of course). It seems strange that ...
From 1964 until 1970, Chrysler Corp. built the A100 line of compact vans and trucks, marketing them in the U.S. under its Dodge nameplate, with the Canadian version under its then-named Fargo line.
A van is basically a big, hot, loud, unsophisticated box on wheels. I know this personally, because I drove a 1973 Dodge Tradesman in my early college years. Adding insult to injury, the engine cover ...
I once heard whisperings around the halls of Chrysler's technical center that then-CEO Sergio Marchionne had shut down an early "DT" Ram design (that's the current generation truck) because it was too ...
