In 1957 a new 300 series with semi forward control design was launched and this model shared its Leyland LAD cab with Leyland and Albion trucks. The 100 series evolved into the 200 series in 1958 and shared its cab with the Commer Superpoise. A new tilt-cab 500 series was launched in 1964, and in that year Chrysler USA bought shares in Rootes and took over in 1967. Commer and Karrier trucks started to wear 'Dodge' badges, but the British and French Chrysler operations were sold to Peugeot in 1978, and eventually the Dodge truck business went to Renault.
