Up until 1978 we could still buy Plymouth badged trucks and vans. I don't know if these were avalible in the States?


1974 model

 

Don't forget the fargo.

 

My grandpa's cousin had one of those. It was a different colour though.

 

Plymouth passenger vans and Trail Dusters were available in the US in the 70's, as well as the little (D-50) Plymouth Arrow pickup truck.
But if it was a work truck or van, or a full size pickup truck, then, "Its gotta be a Dodge". (That last line was part of a late 80's ad campaign for Dodge.)

 

Ford Ranger pickups were rebadged Mazdas for a while.
The Ford Probe was a Mazda MX 6 with a few cosmetic changes.
The Chevrolet LUV light pickup was made by a Japanese company, Nissan or Isuzu I think.

Ford did have a relationship with Nissan at one time, I think, but I can't remember the childrens names....

And the late Saturn Skye was a rebadged Opel, which was itself a restyled Pontiac...
And both Ford and GM sold crappy little Korean economy cars with their American names glued on. The Ford Aspire was a rebadged Kia Avella (before Hundai bought them), and the Pontiac LeMans was actually a rebadged Daewoo Cielo.

 

and the original Infiniti M45 was sold in japan as a Nissan Gloria. the 200sx had a Japanese counterpart named the Silvia ...the Japanese have a thing with Caucasian female names.

available till 1982 in the usa! the Plymouth trail duster and voyager(full size van)! interesting side note...the Trail duster could be ordered so stripped down that it only had a driver seat and metal floor.

other way around, in the usa since 1993 the mazda was a rebadged ford...in the rest of the world the ford is a rebadged mazda

KIA built the later festiva and aspire.

Mercury Villager/Nissan quest

 

My uncle still has a Trail Duster and uses it to plow his driveway. He's had it for years.

 

Meteors were cool, here's one:

Not a wagon, but they're out there too:

 

That was my first automobile Tedy, a baby-poop green and white '74 plymouth trail duster with only front bench seat!

 

Me working together with the Canadian army in Afghanistan a few years ago in a (special) Humvee:

 

"I'm gonna buy me a Mercury and cruise it on down the road."

This MAY have been the last of the series.......

 

That is exactly what my grandpa's cousin's Duster looked like. He lives(?) somewhere in AR.

Mean looking Humvee, Harry.

 

AHHH a man in a uniform...





You don't look Harry...

 

My grandpa's cousin's next door neighbors sister's exhusband had one just like it too. But it was green and it was a Buick sedan.

 

What do you people in cagin country feed those kids? Most baby poop I've seen is yeller!:confused:

Are we on topic? What does this have to do with us'uns in the USA having relations with them thar up in Canada? Or is that the sort of thing that creates babies that poop green?
I would like the official answer please.
