greg g Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 Chrysler Corporation introduced the DeSoto brand of trucks in 1937 to provide a greater number of sales outlets overseas for the American-built Dodge and Fargo commercial vehicles. The DeSoto brand was badge engineered sporadically on Dodge trucks made in Argentina (for the D-100 and the D-400[5] since 1960 to 1965), Australia, Spain, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. Chrysler ended its truck operations in international markets in 1970. However, both the DeSoto and Fargo brands continued to be used on trucks made by Askam in Turkey. In 1978, Chrysler sold its share in the Askam venture to its Turkish partners.[6] Quote

It's good looking in a hulky/Hummer kind of way. More tire and 4wd and it would look right at home cruising with the dually crowd. Edited July 15, 2019 by kencombs Quote
