The original Dodge Deora was based upon a Dodge A-100 compact pick-up chassis, as was another famous Dodge from the same era, the Lil' Red Waggon.
Bill Golden dropped a 426 Hemi in a Dodge A-100 and toured the country beginning 1965 entertaining the crowds at drag strips by doing 1/4 mile long wheelstands. As a kid I really enjoyed watching the Lil' Red Wagon do its thing at Lyons Drag Strip.
