Uh-oh. I think that’s Jason Shafer’s future ex-cop ’86 Gran Fury.
Haha, great timing!
I wondered the same thing!!!
Yes, there’s the explanation for that rebuilt title. 🙂
No real loss.
They may have been at least a decade old here, but at least Chrysler could say they had Dodge trucks hauling their new cars. The red GMC Brigadier looking so much more modern.

I hope it didn’t get a scratch on it! lol
…..and you can be assured that when you buy a new to you used car from Dewey Screwum Used Cars that your car has received our exclusive 12 point under carriage inspection.
I bet that GMC is DD powered, not so sure about the dodges. If so that parking lot would sound like a symphony!
Appears to be a Dodge Rampage with a white camper shell, in the distance. A matching silver shell would have coordinated better. With a K-car based New Yorker in front of it. Both behind a pair of New Yorker Fifth Avenues.
With a pair of the first year Voyager/Caravan in the foreground. Making these 1984 model year Chrysler products.
Wait, they came from the factory with camper shells?
The real reason behind those 5mph bumpers! 🙂
Surprising they still had some Dodge car haulers around.
I was seeing them as late as 1990. I bought a new ’86 D-150 right off a Convoy Company Dodge LNT-1000 car hauler.
Wow, ’84 at the earliest and the youngest LCF in that lineup would be coming up on 10 years old. But then my suburban township was still using their LCF dump truck/snow plows then, although a could of 2nd gen Louisville Liners were slipping in.
And is that one of the super-rare lowered Bighorns built for a Detroit-area hauler who handled Mopars? Done so they could fit an extra car over the cab, as here? Sure looks like it. I’ve seen color shots of one of these repurposed as a tow truck, but only B&W in their original state, but they are definitely painted a lighter color. The hood and grille came from FWD, who conversely used the old ’56 cab until it went out of production.
There were French Oopses as well
Merde !
Back then, was fixed up and sold as a demonstrator.
