The weirdest was the first convertible truck offered by a manufacturer since the early days of Ford's Model T pickup. "On the surface, a pickup truck with a flop top makes as much sense as a steel baseball mitt," Car and Driver wrote upon its first exposure to the Dakota Convertible. "But everyone knows that most pickups actually live a life of leisure. So if people are buying pickups for the fun of owning a car alternative, why not go full-frivolous and build a sun-worshipping, let's-go-to-the-beach party animal?", This was the first postwar production ragtop pickup, and Dodge billed it as "the ultimate fun truck." It is still the only postwar production ragtop pickup., The Dakota Sport convertible featured a manual vinyl top that could be folded back and covered with a boot, or completely removed. The unique hauler was based on a two-door pickup with a metal roof on its cab, and was assembled at Chrysler's Dodge City truck complex in Warren, Michigan. From there, the trucks were shipped to American Sunroof Co. ASC several suburbs away., ASC sliced the roof off and added the necessary components to turn it into a convertible for open-air excitement., These Dakota Sport convertibles were sold as either as 4x2s or shift-on-the-fly 4x4s. This is the Shift on the fly 4X4. All only in 1989 trucks came fitted with a 125-hp, fuel-injected V-6 mated with the optional three-speed automatic transmission.
