• Our Bring a Trailer pick of the day is this refurbished 1962 Dodge W200 Power Wagon.

• It's hard to imagine a truck that would stand out more at your local car show.

• Bidding is open on this 1962 model until Monday, April 11.

You can’t throw a rock at a new off-road truck today without hitting a crew cab. Actually, don't throw rocks at trucks. Instead, consider that the four-door crew-cab configuration wasn’t really a thing in the U.S. until the 1960s. That means this 1962 Dodge W200 Power Wagon might be the closest thing to a direct ancestor to today's 2022 Ram HD 2500 Power Wagon, which is only available with a crew cab.

Shortly after the International Travelette, the first generation of Dodge’s D and W 200 series pickups (D for two-wheel drive, W for four-wheel drive) was among the first in the U.S. to offer a crew-cab configuration. Added seats aside, the style of these versions remains distinct to this day.
