Dart (
1960)
Following
Chrysler's takeover of the British Rootes Group and
Simca of France, and the resultant establishment of Chrysler Europe in the late 1960s, the Dodge brand was used on light commercial vehicles previously branded Commer (a Rootes subsidiary) and on pick-up and van versions of the
Simca 1100. The most common of these was the
Dodge 50 series, widely used by utility companies and the military, but rarely seen outside the UK. Following Chrysler Europe's collapse in 1977, the Dodge factory and some rights to use the
Dodge name in Europe were purchased by Renault, who
gradually re-branded the range of vans and trucks through the
1980s, eventually dropping the name altogether and using the factory for engine production.
