Frankly I don't know who it was built by.
The fuzzy literature I have seems to suggest it has a 'Royale' body, possibly by Uniroyal (?)

Between you and I, I don't know, either.  ;D

The first point is yours. OK to let the rest of the crew chime in with what they know about the builder?

I've got a 2-page ad where it is simply called "The Sportswagon"

I'm sure it's built on a Chrysler chassis. I don't think the body was Chrysler designed or built. It could have been, but I doubt it.

As I stated above, I don't know for sure who built it. I'll give you a point if you can convince me this van was built by Chrysler

Looks like somebody selling a brochure that doesn't indicate it is a Chrysler.

Dodge chassis were used by many RV manufacturers in the '70's and '80's, so I wouldn't be surprised by a connection. This one looks to me like an attempt to react to GM's advanced RV's of the 1970's.

I'm fairly certain it's not Chrysler.  Majestic?  I think I can confirm this when I find the Majestic logo...

Well, I thought I was on to something, but maybe not.  Here's the interior of the Sportswagon.  As I look closer, the logo on the steering wheel looks to be the "S" in Sportswagon.  It does have a "Torque-Command" (Chrysler) automatic...

Were you able to find replacements?
