It's a jet, it's a rocket ship, no it's a small hyper-obscure mid-century pickup truck. What you are beholding here is a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Fargo was Dodge's export brand to Canada at the time.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
What they did was slap some station wagon haunches onto a Dodge D100. There was an American version of this truck, the Dodge D100 Sweptside. However there were only 11 of these 1958 Fargo Sweptside Pickups ever made (Really? No one wanted this?)
Out of all the various styling treatments manufacturers have applied to truck beds, what's your favorite example?

The Ranchero is good, but I prefer the Canyonero:

I'll go with the original fleet side, the Chevrolet cameo pickup of 1955

Chrysler created Fargo while Dillon, Reed & Co. was still dicking around over a sale price on Dodge. Fargo was originally designed to go head t0 head with Dodge trucks, while DeSoto was launched to compete with Dodge cars. Walter P. Chrysler was hoping he could sell enough of both to crash Dodge's value enough to force a sale at a good price.
Once that happened, Fargos became badge engineered Dodges, but the brand was still sold in the US up until the 1930s and Canada into the '70s.
The brand still exists, made in Turkey by Askam. Chrysler sold off their old Turkish joint venture (which had kept on building Fargos and DeSotos) as part of their restructuring in the late '70s, and they've kept on using the name.
