The A100 is a range of compact vans and trucks manufactured and marketed from 1964 to 1970 by Chrysler Corporation under the Dodge marque in the United States and the Fargo marque in Canada.
The A100 competed with the Ford Econoline, Chevrolet Van, Chevy Corvair Greenbrier, and the Volkswagen Type 2. The range included a pickup truck and van, both with a "forward control" design. Placing the driver on top of the front axle with the engine between the front seats, just behind the front wheels makes it a "cab over" vehicle. The unibody vehicles used a short 90 in (2,286 mm) wheelbase. An A108 was also available from 1967 to 1970, with a longer 108 in (2,743 mm) wheelbase. The A108 was popular with camper conversion companies.[4] A substantially modified, Hemi-powered A100 wheelstanding exhibition pickup called the "Little Red Wagon" driven by Bill "Maverick" Golden was a popular drag strip attraction from the 1960s to the early 2000s

1964-1970 225 in3 (3.7 L) Slant-6 I6, 145 hp (108 kW)
1965-1966 273 in3 (4.5 L) LA V8
1967-1970 318 in3 (5.2 L) LA V8, 210 hp (160 kW)
L-Series trucks
From 1966 to 1971, Dodge built L-Series medium-duty Cabover Engine trucks with a tilting forward-control cab based on the forward body of the A-100.
The Dodge A100 was featured in the American television series That '70s Show episode "Red's Last Day", as Michael Kelso's new van.[8] It also appeared in the movie Cars as the character Dusty Rust-eze, in the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, as well as the comedy Stealing Harvard. An A100 appeared in many different colors in the 1960s Batman TV series. More often than not, it was the preferred getaway vehicle of each episode's villain.
The Dodge Little Red Wagon was a famous exhibition drag racing truck introduced in 1965 based on the A100 pickup. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I remember as a 12 or 13 year old attempting to build this kit. What a complete and utter nightmare it was! Way too many tiny and fiddly parts. I think it all ended up in the trash. Now as a 58 year old and having a good 40 plus years of building under my belt, I just might have to get one and give it a whirl and try it again!
The Corvair Ramp-Side is the one with that fold down sides. :)
That weird Chevy truck with the side drop was originally a Corvair 600. But after Ford paid Ralph Nader to write a book about how deadly the Corvair was (not a mention of the exploding Ford Pintos) the truck had become a top seller - so they changed the name and badging to Chevrolet Greenbrier. I like this Dodge A100 model a lot and the stock engine is a nice choice. Thanks, Chris...
You have no idea what you are talking about. Stop and just build models.
That doesn't match the real world timeline. The Corsair Greenbrier was named early in the run, and the reason the Pinto wasn't mentioned in Nader's book was it hadn't been manufactured yet in 1965 when he wrote it.
At 78, my timeline sometimes slips - but the Pinto was in developement when the book was written and the danger had already been pssed off to the actuarians. Yes, I was there.
Here's a hot news flash for you. Ralph Nader EXTENDED the run of the Corvair. By three years. Chevrolet planned to kill the Corvair after 1966, but kept it going through 1969 because they didn't want to look like they were caving to Nader. If you want to be mad at one person for the death of the Corvair, you might want to look at Lee Iacocca. He killed the Corvair by designing a car that absolutely ate Corvair's lunch in sales, called the Mustang. That's why Chevrolet was going to kill Corvair after 1966, because they had their Mustang knockoff (Camaro) ready to go for 1967.
The Corvair pickup was known as the Rambside although Chevy did build a version without the ramp for a couple of years. The Greenbriar was a van based on the same "chassis" as the pickup. I don't think I've ever seen a model of either one. AMT did do the 65-69 Corvair coupes (Monza and Corsa)
Nice build Chris! The bike parts are from a little bike called the ding-a-ling that was included with the original version!
As a matter of fact the phone booth was originally molded in plastic!
Chris The Touch Tone Terror Was originally Released By IMC in 1966 as 4 in 1 kit ! IMC was Sued By Monogram over Aircraft parts Copyright and Was out of Business by 1974 However Lindberg bought Some of IMCs tooling to reissue Little Red Wagon under Lindberg Spool ahead AMT decided to Reissue as Touch Tone Terror with IMCs Box Art except for Adding AMT logo on Box. Ungortunately The original Clear Plastic Tool for the Phone Booth was lost Perhaps Never to Be Seen AGAIN This Reissue had Catdnoard Phone Booth instead 😢. I've Bought This Kit on Pre-Order & Pre-Paid for it. Love The Box Art Cheers To Round 2 for Exciting Box Art to Keep Hobby Alive
I had a lovely talk with Round 2 this morning.
Both Customer service, and the Sales department got in touch with me.
As you have said before these are preproduction kits . Also there's only so many to go around to media, and illustrators like you. The sales person agrees 1000% on two or three kits for you to review and build on video. Both or all three versions built of the kits is great advertising. Also that you have such a large following that it's sure to sale thousands more models a month.
Long story short,
Customer service got with Sales who got with me.
It's being sold to the higher-ups. Hopefully something will come out of it!!!!
Anyways I tried!!!
I built this kit when it was the "Little Red Wagon" years and years ago which is still a favorite in my collection. This would make a good addition built stock
And there is a "Coke" version also.
I had a high school friend who had a '68 Hemi Roadrunner, but usually when he drove to school, he drove his dad's '66 A-100 with a 273. That was MORE than enough engine to melt the rear tires on the truck ! BTW, it was the ONLY V-8 A100 I ever saw, as most of those trucks had slant 6's.
Awesome build Chris! With the doghouse on there, I think I might dig through my junk motors and put one of them in there and save those two nice engines for a diorama!
Originally by IMC. Nice they have the old box art!
I have the Lindberg "Little Red Wagon" version of this kit (Kit # 72158) that I bought about 30 years ago. It still isn't completed. Watching this build, I'm thinking I'll get on it now and finally complete it!
I seem to remember this kit from long ago as well. I also seem to remember that it was pretty challenging for a 10 year old !
I built the Lindberg lil red wagon in a stock version. It was a slow built - go real slow with the door hinges assembly. Turned out excellent.
Nice I Love the way you did this one my Dad had one for his TV repair business back in 1960's Great Job make it fun
Love your choice of going with the service truck.
Chris Yes! IMC kits Were Targeted to Advanced Builders Not Beginners They Had FEATURES like opening Doors Steerable Suspensions Flip Noses &. Rear Engine Canopies as Build Challenges. Word of Caution Careful Attention to Door Hinge installation in Instructions if Hinges get Flipped Wrong way the Doors Won't Work. Many Many Beginners Made the Mistake with This kit and Just Rnded up Gluing Doors Shut 😢
The original release had a styrene phone booth. Maybe the mold was lost.
The Chevy pickup with the side door was the Corvair Greenbriar. Now, I’d take the pickup, but if someone would release one of the Greenbriars in the van version, I’d die happy.
......maybe mold not lost - but probably cheaper to just include the paper cut-outs instead of plastic......
Kool version as hardly anyone went with it building this kit. Could have made it a half custom version too I'd imagine ❤
Nice build Chris! I bought the kit to build the wheel stander but after seeing this video I think I will buy another one to build a service truck.
Awesome work as always .
Your finish on the doors is great .
WOW , amazing.
You outdid yourself with this one.
SOOO KOOOOLLLLLL .
Mike
On the original release the extra parts are for building a phone booth bike, I think they lost the mold for the phone booth, that was clear plastic, I wish the new kit had it,
I picked up these kit last weekend, I'm going to build it stock and putting a slant 6 in it from the new amt 330 dodge kit
My favorite truck ... (I own a real one). I bought the 'Little Red Wagon' kit, and built it to look like my actual truck (including red, silver, and blue metalflake paint). My truck came with the slant six, and currently is in the hands of a fabricator, putting a small block 360 ci V8 inside the dog house, for driving on the street. Regarding the Race Wheelstander trucks, besides the 'Little Red Wagon' there was also the 'Chuck Wagon' and during that wheelstanding era, I think there were five or six A100 wheel standers. If YT had the capacity to share photos, I could show both my real truck, and my model, which is a dead ringer for my real one. It is surprisingly a difficult kit ... with door tolerances and such.
I really like that one can build it as a stock truck. Maybe a race team tuck
Beautiful build.
Great build, Chris.,
Fantastic video!! As always you did a wonderful job building this model.
Tip,
The whiteout that's in a kinda tape holder is perfect for doing tailgate letters. It's technically a dry transfer anyways. I have used it for pinstripes and rubber inserts in body chrome. At the office supply they have 2, or 3 colors.
Already looking forward to your next video. 🙂
What a killer kit... definitely one to look out for!!!
I like the variation you decided on. The 1960's pickup with the fold down gate on the side is the Chevy Corvair pickup. That would be a cool kit if you can find one.
Great looking build! Look like a fun model
THAT is cool! i thought maybe the sleeper would be cool but this one is very cool!!
Jolie maquette au final !! congrest...
Great build Chris! I’ve got two little Red Wagons in the stash but I’m definitely going to get one or two of these to build the stock version.
I'm blown away by this version--very cool!!!
Like you, I did not realize you could build a stock version. It is definitely on my shopping list now. Great job building this one. Nice color choice.
HEY-DAR 👊😎👍: Always like your Kit Reviews, Well done 😉 Be Watching You Later, (MODEL CAR)🎭(MAN CAVE)
Their were 3 companies building trucks like this. DODGE with the A-100, Ford with the ECONOLINE PICKUP, and Chevrolet with the CORVAIR PICKUP....and yes Chevrolet had the side that droped down, It was called the RAMP SIDE.....Oh and VOLKSWAGEN Had their truck version with fold down sides and back.
I built the Lindberg boxing of this kit years ago. I built it stock as well in a dark orange color with the dog dish hubcaps. I may have to get another.
1966 The year I was born. One of my brothers owned a 1966 Ford pickup. It was so easy to work on the engine in the rain.
Hi there Chris very cool looking model mate you do a great job mate
Such a cool kit, HECK, CHRIS I want it just for the frame, but love the ladder/rack, phonebooth is cool, also!
Great looking build. I always like the extras, and that phone booth is terrific.
I always loved those Dodge trucks in real life, although they were rare in our area.
Great Build!
I think the Corvair and VW vehicles in this style had a folding option. Going to have to pick up a couple of kits, I have ideas......
Nice build and excellent parts overview 👍
Hello Chris and plastic modeling friends! I'm passionate about DODGE trucks. AMT was super kind in relaunching this wonderful LINDBERG Kit, which is super detailed. Nowadays, you no longer see KITS with this detail. Here in Brazil it is difficult to get kits like this, firstly because of our currency, which is very devalued to the dollar. I got a Lindbergh A 100 that I'm still going to ride! I really want this new AMT kit! A big hug from Collector Cleber.
I'm sure that I will get one of these, I love the old A-100's and especially the Ford E-100's. Wish that there was a slant six engine option.
Cool, the Dodge A100 is always a fun kit to build!! 🤜🤛
You were wondering about the round thing-a-ma-jig you used as a beacon light on top of the cab. There should be two of them in the kit and they were intended to be the taillight buckets, to be installed on the inside of the bed backing up the taillights on the outside.
They should bring out a van version this kit
I really like the length of this it shows the step-by-step. Yeah it took a lot longer than the others but I really like the time I don’t know how to explain it and I thank you.
Old Imc kit down to the Armstrong tires. "They GRIP THE ROAD to stop deadly skids"
Armstrong tires, "The rhino tough tires."
Nice build Chris. You get to tge point and build in one video. I had the original Touch Tone Terror and the phone booth was made of clear styrene and not cardboard that had to be assembled. Also came with the t/booth trolley/trailer that i beleve this kit has. Happy Easter
it needs the poverty caps on the wheels, I'd save the phone for my garage diorama that would be a cool thing. my opinion and i'm sticking to it, nice build
I've seen this kit 100 times over the years as the The Little Red Truck . I just always passed it by. But there's a lot to this kit , definitely worth getting. Nice job on your build Chris.👍
.....??? .....were there two versions ?? I remember one was released by Lindberg and ( I thought ) the other by Revell.
Cool build........thanks for sharing
He picked him up a motor at lunch, cause he's got a project at home he's going to work on this weekend.
Great review and build Chris! Love the Aleene's tacky glue you introduced me to! Only caveat with it is the string trail it leaves... gotta be vigilant when using it. The Frog Tape is also a wonderful recommendation! It didn't allow any seepage when I used it. Keep recommending new products and I'll keep checking them out. Rock on, Brother!
I love the work truck set up you've gone for with this one.
Turned out great
Dose it slow in the instructions, that can make the phone booth with a trike option.
That's why there is a banana seat, and a front fork, and the carriage lights for the back of the phone booth, with a small engine in the back.
This was in the original IMC version that I have 2 of.
And I bought 2 of this kit too.
Great build,Chris, I love watching your videos, I usually watch them mutable times.
Real cool mate👍
Great work Chris! Love the detailing and colors! I'll definitely be grabbing a couple for myself! Very different!
Very nice. I like the paint. It is very well done. Keep up the great work and have a great day!!!
Cool as always. 👍
The little red wagon rerealised
Second comment
Wish Round 2 would send you two kits on 2, or 3 in ones!!!! Love your build but... would have loved to see your rendition of the drag racing version. 😀
That would be cool, wouldn't it?
@hpiguy Yes Sir it would.if you have the time to build two. I guess it wouldn't take that much longer if they were built up, and painted at the same time??
Nice build,
What an awesome build. I liked the paint and decals. Excellent video!
way cool build my friend!
Great video Chris keep em coming I'll keep watching
wow I was getting worried about you!
I was too. Didn't see a build video for this past Wednesday and thought I had missed it. I don't think he did one for Wednesday but I'm sure glad he's back! I have this kit just waiting for him to review it to give me some ideas. He came through like the champion that he is!
Sometimes the real world gets in the way of hobby time.
It's extremely rare that I don't do two full build videos per week, but it happens.
Thanks for watching :)
Frankie Day is good with paper models I have never tried them.
That's exactly how I would have done it!
Awesome
Looks awesome Chris. Great job
thats a neat little truck
Believe the Chevy version was a Corvair model. They made a van as well .
Just realized the Dodge A100 is a mid engined vehicle. The entire engine is within the wheelbase. Just like those fancy supercars. Odd that Round 2 didn't include dash guages or stock license plates on the decal sheet.
Nice kit 😅
Awesome build as always!!!
Just a painting note for everyone. The A100 was unibody so the black painted "frame" would be body color.
Round 2 missed the mark not retooling the plastic accessories.
Really enjoy your builds. What is the tacky glue you use?
One point you could have used just cheapo white glue to hold phone booth together but truck is awesome
In the original version, the phone booth was all clear plastic.
They also forgot to include the instructions for the Ding-A-ling, the tri-cycle, but it looks like all of the Parts are there, they should have made phone booth base out of plastic
Too bad they didn't make the phone booth built up out of plastic.
Hey MR Chris those cool rubber typed clamps are they the 2 inch ones? Thanks😊
Looks like armstrong tires
I think that I have, a couple of sets in my tire stash.
Very nice Christopher . I think I’ll pass on this one.
Cool truck build that I'd like to tackle, but that body mold sure seems worn out. The perfectionist in me would be cleaning up that body for a long time.
I can’t find future floor polish, is there an alternative? Thanks can’t wait to build this kit

@@hpiguy thanks I appreciate your help
Chris The Problem You had With The Hinges For the Doors ? Instructions are Errored in How Hinges Go the Little Pieces Which Attach to inner door Panel are Flipped Wring Way on Instructions You Must Flip them over In other Words the Bump of Eyelet on Hinge Must Face Out Instead of on As Instructions Show. Which is Why your Hinges Didn't Work. Again this Was Done intentionally By IMC. They Knew Advanced Builders would Spot thus Flaw and Assemble Correctly Anyway. Yeah it's A Pain to Figure out. But Use Thus Tip ti Add ke Wheel Stander Version of the Kit I Bet You Doors Work Also use Tape To Test Fit parts assembly to Ensure it Works 5 That Assembly is Correct then Remove tape and Glue it Same Way
Can you do the 64 impala lowrider next please
Is that testers glue you mainly use with the metal cap and brush?
Chris uses Plastruct Bondene for his builds. He'll dump it into a bottle with a wider base than the PB bottle to prevent accidental tip over.
The Chevy truck of this time was called the Corvair. Is this possibly the Jo-Han kit re-released under AMT?
The Little Red Wagon was originally an IMC kit then Lindbergh now AMT reissued this the Touch Tone Terror.This kit has all the parts in it to build the Little Red Wagon except the decals.
Nice looking build! Built this kit when it first came out as the IMC kit of the little Red Wagon. I love this kit. Thanks for the review! Nice version.
I built the original Little Red Wagon by IMC molded in red. Then a year or so later the IMC Touch Tone Terror molded in white with the same box art as seen here except for the AMT logo replacing the IMC. Both trucks suffered in the '71 earthquake where I lived. I still have them in a box somewhere and have the Touch Tone box that I used for storing decal sheets. I may have to buy a new Touch Tone and maybe an L700 truck to go with it. Build the Touch Tone mostly stock with a big block, like a 440 for a shop truck, maybe to tow race cars. Back in the 1970s there was a family around the corner that had a Class C motor home on an A 300 dually chassis. This same cab, 440 engine, auto trans. He towed his circle track race cars with it. Might be able to make one using an MPC Open Road Camper.
Great job Chris ! The Little Red Wagon can be built stock also, But as a Push Truck what's a little light on the roof was for and a wooden push bumper for pushing the Top Fuel Dragsters back in the day, The Touch Tone Terror first came out 1970 by IMC to replace the Little Red Wagon that was Originally introduced in 1966, It was only out for one year, By 1971 the Little Red Wagon was back out in the Auto World catalog all the way up until the early 1990s, And then disappeared over to Japan through a company called Union, Somehow Lindberg found the molds and redid the Little Red Wagon and the L-700 Cabover Tractors and trailers, I never understood why they never put the gas cap on a quarter panel and no real A100 came with a Chrome grille, they should be white along with the bumpers, But they did have the option of chrome bumpers, And another thing the battery box goes behind the driver's seat also, Missing is the stock Gas pedal, Brake pedal and clutch pedals for the 273 V8, In reality most Telephone Trucks were Vans, They were called display Vans they had windows on the passenger side and the other side was paneled where they had cabinets mounted for the tools and equipment, Most Telephone Trucks were Army Green color or White, The hinges you installed the big ones under the dashboard first then you put one small hinge on let it hang in place that way there you can glue the other hand to the door and slide the two onto the main hinge with both small hinges that were there the doors will open and close without any problem, I've been building these trucks since 1966, it's nice to see you blacked out around the windshield and around the back window because the center post is actually a strip of rubber most modelers think it's metal and painted to match the truck, also the vent window frames should be painted black, And I own a real Dodge A-100 Pickup Truck and I also was a crew member for Bill Maverick Golden's the Original 67 Little Red Wagon, The fourth one in a series of exhibition Wheelstander's.
The Little Red Wagon and Touch Tone Terror were kits from the IMC Model Company, 1966 the Little Red Wagon was first introduced, In 1970 it was replaced with the Touch Tone Terror Wheelstanding Pickup Truck/Telephone Truck Or Stock, And then it disappeared, And the Little Red Wagon was put back in 1971 in all the model catalogs such as Auto World all the way up until the Late 1980s, It came back out 1994 through the Lindberg brand Model Company.
Wish they'd do the panel van of this kit I'd put 4kids and a dog with it.
Chris Just Starting on My A100 as Stock Telephone Truck I Didn't Like Front of Rack Sitting on Rear Of Roof So I Shortened The Bars The Drilled Small Holes on Front Bottom Of Rack & Duplicated Rear Kefs to Make Fronts So Rack Sits independent in bed. I'll Be Swapping A Lindberg/AMT Slant Six/Automatic Hubcaps From MPC Dodge Monoco Patrol Car Look Better & Allows For Dodge Decal yi Ve Applied. L700 Doors Swap will Give Me Dodge Script Doors on Finished Truck
this kit is an old linberg kit
Something completely different.
