San Francisco Street Sighting - 1968 Dodge A108 Custom Sportsman

The first vehicle I featured here on California Streets was a 1968 Dodge A100, so in a way we've come full circle. This is actually the third Dodge A-van we've seen here, and this time it's a '68 A108 Custom Sportsman. It's owned by a Mopar collector in San Francisco. The last A108 featured was a 1970 model in the same colors as this van, but in rougher condition. In retrospect, I wish I'd shot this one more in depth, but at the time it was merely another A-series van and I didn't see a reason. Oh well.

San Francisco Street Sighting - 1968 Dodge A100 Tradesman

You see vans on every block. But how often do you see a 1968 Dodge A100 Tradesman? Probably not very often! This one is a fine example I've seen driving around San Francisco on occasion. This was the first time I'd seen it parked. There's a small amount of rust on one of the passenger side doors, but for the most part the van is in great "daily driver" condition.
