Vehicle Detail
Here's your chance to own an original crewcab power wagon. Chrysler/Fargo is the export arm of Dodge/Chrysler. This truck was exported to France in 1959, and sold to a utility company. This is not a fake. Dodge did not make crewcabs for the United States market until much later. There are individuals and companies creating crewcabs of this era by cutting up single cab trucks and doors and modernizing them. They sell for prices ranging between $100,000 and $200,000; these are all fakes. This is a one time opportunity to take an original and either restore it or modernize it to your specifications. **Owner has all certified importation documents, and provenance, to register and title in the United States**1959 Fargo Power Wagon imported from France by way of Liverpool. 55 year old, 3 door crew cab Power Wagon in great condition for its age.

Passengers getting out on the driver's side into traffic represented a hazard. ***Insiders at Dodge sold this idea to French companies, because it was cheaper to produce and brought the cost down for overseas sales. -The savings occurred when you didn't have to produce a fourth door.
