Default Saw this in Birmingham, AL today:

It's a homely little pickup truck--probably from the late '70's or early '80's. Any guesses?

I had to look real close to figure out what it was! I don't recall ever seeing a new one. It must have came and went while I was under water.

I have one more photo of it, but it shows the model name.

Dodge Colt??

That was a rebranded Mazda or Mitsubishi IIRC...

I was going to say "Ford Courier" but the grill isn't right for that...

Both were entries in the "micro-truck" category to compete with the little Toyota and other Japanese brand pickups available at the time (before they started trying to copy the Ford, Chevy, and Dodge full size pickups).

Later! OL JR

The Colt was a car. That looks like a Dodge Ram 50 (D-50) somewhere around 1980 model, which was made by Mitsubishi.

Isuzu made the Chevy Luv pickup.

My only discovery while trying to pin down the year model was finding that Plymouth also released it in their trim.
