Sweet!! We like to see that the rare ones are still on the road! I've heard of the little red express package, but I didn't know they made a 4x4 express. Post up all the info you have on them so that dodgerules86 or crazy4x4rt can add it to the faqs page (there is some info on the special editions on our 1st gen faq page).

And welcome to Dodgeforum!

Cool! Nice truck! Here I will post up the link to the gallery. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/members...a-express.html So were they only made in 87? Do have any links for info? Are they made from Factory (Dodge) like that or Dealer (Tom Aul Chrysler). Ya I will post up that info on the FAQ for everyone. Give us all you got.

Smile 89 Dakota Express!!!!

Hi guys,
I got a call from a guy that just bought an 89 Dakota Express from the orig. owner, he saw my posts on the web about my 87 Express.
here are a few pictures.

So it looks like the Express was done from 87- 92 and in 1990 they made it the Little Red Express.
The last photo is of the final Destination sheet it is a very large file on my computer and I do not know how to makew it smaller. It say that Country Sales Inc. was in White Pigion Mi.
Mike
