Wow! I have never seen one of those. The pinstriping made it look like a dodge.
Thanks for sharing that.

its not the pinstriping, its the illistration. the shape of the cab, back window, and the profile of the front fender all support this. the lines on the hood have a distinct 67-72 feel.

That thing looks remarkably like a Dodge Warlock.

I guess they didn't call it a donkey because then people would call it a jacka$$

Jeff:

I echo the others- -thank you for attaching that here! I have never heard of that special edition model. I would love to see what that package looked like in "real life". Those wood side boards are really something!

It seems there were all kinds of special edition models throughout the years, and it would sure be interesting to determine if some were actually regional offerings. You have to wonder if it would even be possible to track down all of the various special packages available.

Keep digging this stuff up, my friend!
