A substantially modified, Hemi-powered A100 pickup called the "Little Red Wagon" driven by Bill "Maverick" Golden was a popular drag strip attraction in the 1960s through the early 2000s.
Another substantially modified A100 pickup, designed by Harry Bentley Bradley, was the basis for the Dodge Deora show car, also one of the 16 original 1968 Hot Wheels cars. In the The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003 film), the 5 teens are traveling in a passenger van, with the second row removed. In the animated film Cars (film), the minor character "Rusty Rust-Eze" is a heavily rusted A100. A 1967 A100 was also featured in a one-hour 2006 episode of the TLC (TV channel) reality television series, Overhaulin'.
