Design
The Alexander brothers commissioned the design of Harry Bentley Bradley in 1964. It was inaugurated in their home town during the Detroit Autorama in 1967, where he won nine awards including the Ridler Award. Deora is based on a compact Dodge A100 pickup. The rear of a Ford station wagon in 1960 serves as a windshield. Cut, cut, and channeled to create a fully functional and futuristic pickup. Six inclined engines and a 3-speed manual transmission were moved to the back 15 inches, out of the cabin and onto the bed and covered by a hard tonneau. Admission to custom painted gold is achieved by lifting the windshield, rotating the bottom gate and entering through the front.
After the naming contest is run by the AMT model car. It's called Deora. Harry Bradley has proposed to call it XTAB (abbreviation of the Alexander Brothers eXperimental Truck). The winning entry is from a 13-year-old boy, and is a Spanish version that is technically incorrect for "gold".
Chrysler loves well-produced trucks so they rent them for two years to be shown with their other factory concept car. It was then put into storage after being sold to Al Davis. His son took Deora from storage in 1998 and Harry Bradley was asked to help restore it. The restoration finished taking part in the 50-year Detroit Autorama in 2002 as part of a special display of the classic habits of the Alexander brothers.
In 2009 Deora was prepared for auction in California and sold for $ 324,500. It was depicted as showing 101Ã, bhp (75Ã, kW; 102Ã, PS) 6-cylinder 170Ã, Â ° c at (2.800Ã, cc) engine.
