The Deora is based on the compact Dodge A100 pickup. The back hatch of a 1960 Ford station wagon served as the windshield. It was was chopped, sectioned, and channeled to create the fully functional, futuristic-looking pickup. The engine was moved rearward, out of the cab and into the bed and covered by the hard tonnueau.
Entrance into the gold painted custom is achieved by lifting up the windshield, swivelling the lower gate and entering through the front.
