Cars and bikes I’ve come across in my travels

Fargo truck's were rebadged Dodges by the 60's. Same with the van. All the Dodge A100's were badged as Fargo in Canada. I had a 1964 A100 Fargo van. It had a fluid coupling instead of a torque converter so it was very slow to accelerate but you could tow start it if you needed.

Interesting. Surprising what you see when you look beyond your own little world. Thanks

Mine was similar to this except for the windows and colour. It also had a wood stove. Bought it for $300 from a Smokejumper who needed money to get home. I used it for a couple of camping trips and sold it for $300 to a hippy heading to Alaska (I was living in Yukon then).

It was ........... rustic.

Very Kool, man. I bet one in that condition today would be worth lots of moola.
 
My BIL is in hospice in Florida, so we are off to Panama tomorrow and then on to Miami. Based upon last time, it is very unlikely that I will find much to post here for a while, but who knows?
BTW, next stop is Ireland and the UK, I can’t wait to see what turns up.

Actually the IOM is on our list. I just didn’t want to go into detail until we got closer in time. We can only stay in the Schengen zone for 90 days out of 180 and have to be in Italy in early September to meet friends. Ireland and UK time does not count towards our 90 days. So working backwards we cannot arrive on the continent before late June or early July. It looks like we will get to Dublin in May.
 
How do you tell the difference between Indian and English? From the steering lock and controls it looks new so must be Indian, but I saw them in India in 1970 and IIRC they looked pretty ancient then.
