Every old piece of history has a story to tell, and so often you’ll see many “pieces of history” on our back roads and dead ends. From trucks to tractors and washboards to washing machines, sadly our rural areas have a lot of them. Don’t you wonder what their story is, and how they came to be there?
The first Fargo trucks were built in Pilsen, Chicago by the Fargo Motor Car Company from 1913 until 1922. In 1928 Chrysler bought the business and created their own line of Fargo trucks. Shortly after its creation, Chrysler also bought the Dodge Brothers Company, adding Dodge and Graham Brothers badged trucks to its product line. From then on, Fargo trucks were almost identical to Dodge models, except for trim and name, and were sold by Chrysler-Plymouth dealers.
This old Dodge truck was so rusted that you couldn’t even tell what colour it was originally, but the rust is a beautiful colour too.
