So why isn't this just a Dodge? Why Fargo specifically? |

From Wikipedia - Fargo trucks were almost identical to Dodge models, save for trim and name, and were sold by Chrysler-Plymouth dealers. U.S. sales were discontinued in the 1930s, but the name Fargo was used until 1972 for Canada, and lived longer for other countries around the world under the Chrysler Corporation's badge engineering marketing approach While made in Detroit at the Lynch Road facility, Dodge trucks were also offered as Fargo (or De Soto) in most of the Latin America countries, while in Europe and Asia were mainly the ones made in Chrysler's Kew (UK) plant, which is a suburb of London; those sold with either Fargo or DeSoto badges. 1954-6 model year range |

Thanks for the reply but it does not say anywhere that this was sold as Fargo in India instead of Dodge. If I'm missing the point, someone please let me know. -- Last edit: 2016-09-05 02:14:26 |
