What's the white pickup next to the Jeep? I don't recall Dodge having an El Camino/Ranchero. Thumbs up on the A100. I had a Ford E100 that was fun to drive but was pretty much a beater by the time I bought it. Also like the old fastback Charger.

Think it might be an Australian Dodge Ute.

Confirmed Whulsey. It seems it is based on the Australian Valiant.

Gee, I didn't see my first car there? A 66 Valiant with 4 door with a slant 6.

Great photos, and fantastic publicity for AirDave and paper modellers.

Thats a very early 70s Dodge Ute.

Not sure how it got all the way to Nova Scotia,
but I think its still got its old Aussie tags.
New South Wales I think.

Its got a straight Six Hemi in it.

Nice cars but where are the "Kcars" which were produced from 1981 to 1989? I have a 1986 Dodge Aries SE with only 90000 miles on it since new.

Hopefully at the bottom of the scrap heap!

...along with most other cars produced in the 80s.

Come on Dave. They are still nice cars. In the CKCC, we are trying to preserve as many as we can. CKCC is Chrysler KCar Club based here in California. Nation wide there are about 2000 of us and there is a thriving similar group in Mexico.

I once worked as a Valet parker at the Downtown Marriot here in Denver, and the #1 most common Rental Car we drove were the Reliant and Aries K.

They filled a niche in the 80's for cheap, affordable transportation... but I don't think many would call them a 'Classic', especially compared to all of the old Mopars on display at the Car Show!
