johnfromstaffs ◊ 2020-06-08 14:20	No, it’s a Dodge 100 Series, or may be badged as a Fargo, known as the “parrot nose”, the sculpted bonnet and windscreen lower line are identification features. /v722678.html -- Last edit: 2020-06-08 14:27:00
s13a ◊ 2020-06-08 14:46	Ah, that's why I couldn't find an Ebro that looked like this. There's one example on display in Spain with a spanish registration plate and it seems to be badged as a Dodge: http://platesmania.com/es/foto7571734
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2020-06-08 15:17	Isn’t that a Tenerife registration plate? Perhaps the vehicles were badged as Fargo in the Spanish mainland only or perhaps the Tenerife agent preferred to deal with Kew direct.
s13a ◊ 2020-06-08 15:27	It is, but here's an article about the history of Dodge "Kew" in Spain, in general. No mention of Fargo in the article. Though I'm not sure if they were branded as 100 Series over there. https://solocamion.es/dodge-kew-la-vaca-seca-jose-cristobal-garcia/ -- Last edit: 2020-06-08 15:28:13
