1976 Plymouth Volare

Not many Plymouth Volares seen with power windows!

Actually, from what I remember of these, quite a high percentage of the 'Premier' versions (woodies) had full power equipment. The first couple of years these were out, they didn't have the Chrysler LeBaron version, so if you wanted a luxury Chrysler wagon in a smaller size, this (and the Dodge Aspen SE) was it.

 

Used to have a 77 Aspenwagon. No woodie. But a great car, all the same. Had the 318. Rated at less horsepower than Ford's 5.0, but a way more powerful engine. Plenty of low end torque from the "wedging" and a top end speed of 100 mph. Had it there a few times. A true ponycar station wagon.

 

This is one of those 'oddball' orders! It has the Premier Exterior Package, but the mid-level interior, not the Premier, but does have power windows with no power locks (the plungers were chromed on cars with power locks). Also, no pictures of the front seat, just the rear. The interesting thing is that the front fenders have not rusted through. There were no inner fenders until 1980, and debris from the road scoured the insides of the fender tops, allowing rust to form. The nice thing is that it is a V-8, but they don't say whether it is the 318 or 360, and if it is a 2 bbl or 4 bbl engine. I don't now if the U.S. is the same as here, but 4 bbl engines in Canada did not have catalytic converters on them. Over all, an interesting car, and well worth a look.
