"Kamyon" just means "truck" (similar to "camion" in French) |

Yep. Earlier Askam / Chrysler AS250 (Dodge/Fargo/DeSoto badged). Any view from the back - possibly it's lettered on the tailgate? -- Last edit: 2007-02-20 14:56:32 |

Chrysler's Turkish enterprise began in 1962 when they established a joint venture with a group of Turkish investors. Chrysler International S.A. put up 60% of the capital. Production of Chrysler vehicles in Turkey began in 1964. In 1978 Chrysler sold its interest to the Turkish investors Tatko, Ciftciler, and Rusensad and the firm, renamed Chrysler Kamyon Imalat ve Ticaret A.S., continued to build Dodge, Fargo and DeSoto trucks; they also made Hino (part-owned by Toyota) trucks for the Turkish market in 1991. The firm imported Chrysler passenger car and sport utility vehicles for sale in Turkey and began exporting trucks to Egypt. After the Daimler takeover, Chrysler decided to sell Chrysler vehicles in Turkey under their own name. The Turkish firm lost the rights to the Dodge name and to marketing Chrysler vehicles in Turkey in 2002; it changed its name to Askam Kamyon Imalat ve Ticaret A.S., and markets trucks under the Fargo and DeSoto names, using the logos styled in Detroit back in the mid-1960s, plus Hino. The truck styling is modern and up to date. Since the name was changed to Askam only after 2002, this cannot be one. |

And it's not a AS 250, it's lower model of AS 250, called "AS 100". In 1970s ASKAM produced 4 series: *AS 100 (4x2-little utility truck and station wagon) *AS 250 (4x2 and 4x4-utility truck) *AS 400 (4x2-bigger utility truck) *AS 600 (4x2 and 6x2-simple truck) |
