skywatcher68 ◊ 2017-03-13 21:40	Shouldn't the model origin be UK? -- Last edit: 2017-03-13 21:41:33
the sad biker ◊ 2017-03-14 15:31	Skywatcher68 wrote Shouldn't the model origin be UK? Locally built (Turkey) by Askam?
skywatcher68 ◊ 2017-03-14 17:50	Askam wasn't in the truck business until '64 and this one is older than that. Most likely built in the Kew Dodge plant and exported, same as these Fargos. -- Last edit: 2017-03-14 17:54:33
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2017-03-14 17:59	Chrysler Sanayi was founded in 1962 according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Askam_(trucks) and changed its name to Askam in 2002 according to https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Askam
skywatcher68 ◊ 2017-03-14 18:03	Also from Wikipedia and AllPar agrees: "Production of trucks started in 1964..."
skywatcher68 ◊ 2017-03-14 18:11	Compare the truck in question with this Commer.
dsl ◊ 2017-03-14 18:33	Chrysler did not complete the Rootes buy-out until 1967, so that becomes the earliest likely date for any Commer/Karrier models with Dodge/De Soto/Askam etc branding. Anything earlier with UK origin would probably have been pure Dodge.

Anything earlier with UK origin would probably have been pure Dodge. Per the link in my first post (all-caps and underline theirs): Quote CHRYSLER-BUILT KEW DODGE * FARGO * DE SOTO Better-than-ever range for '62–choose from 48 basic models! The bottom truck in that image is virtually identical to this De Soto, this Fargo and that Commer. -- Last edit: 2017-03-14 22:15:42
dsl ◊ 2017-03-14 23:25	Slowly getting there. Agreed UK origin for Turkey. Glass's lists this Dodge Normal Control from January 61 until Oct 63 in 3, 5, 6, and 7 tons - all Perkins diesel plus option of Leyland diesel on 6 and 7 tons. This seems to be breaking new territory for us - we have nothing UK origin (or UK build) for De Soto, nothing Dodge UK origin (or UK build) within 1961-63 dates, and no Askams for comparison.
