Chrysler Corp. unveiled its newest Dodge Ram Quad Cab, the first four-door pickup truck, last week at its North Assembly Plant at Fenton.
On hand for the ceremony were Chrysler executive Gary Henson, vice president of large and small car, Jeep and truck assembly and stamping operations; Rob Liberatore, Chrysler, vice president of Washington affairs; U.S. Reps. Richard Gephardt and James Talent; and Lt. Gov. Roger Wilson.
Although other companies produce four-door trucks for commercial use, the 1998 Quad Cab is the first for regular customers and will have a base price of about $20,000.
The truck seats six -- three each in the front and rear seats.
The Fenton plant is one of two Chrysler facilities where the trucks are made. The plant employs 3,000.
