N/A as in not authorized.
Chrysler built these trucks and Chrysler hung the badges on them. They are the only one authorized to name these trucks. By definition, a "Power Wagon" is EACH and EVERY vehicle that Chrysler so named. Chrysler didnt add any qualifiers before or behind the badge.
This reminds me of the book "Animal Farm". The pigs have now decided that the first trucks Chrysler built, and called "Power Wagons", are better than all the other "Power Wagons" and therefore must be deified and worshipped.
With all due respect Gordon, and as a subscriber for almost 15 years, I think u are overstepping your authority here. There are different generations of Power Wagons, and we all add these indicators to differentiate between the different models, but the fact remains, they are all still Power Wagons.
My Great Grandpa had funky hair and wore funny clothes in the 1900's, my kid has damn funky hair and wears damn funny clothes now, but all these generations of people are still "humans"
If it came from the factory sporting the words Power Wagon, then it IS a Power Wagon. Period.
If this site chooses to denigrate all Power Wagons except the one "Honored" model, then it is truly an unfriendly, biased, group of arrogant primadonnas. I hope that is not the case. I believe that all Power Wagons are created equal and there are no second class Power Wagons. None is better than, or more deserving of honor than, another. To do otherwise is to send the message that all, except the pictured model at the top of the forum, are somehow inferior, and unwelcome here.
Cheers, Terry
