Buc84 ◊ 2007-06-09 21:30	Actually,this is (was?) a 1982-89 Plymouth Gran Fury.(this one is 1982-85,I don't see a "third eye" in the back window)
Snookie ◊ 2007-06-09 22:23	This one is actually the Canadian counterpart of the Gran Fury, a 1985 Plymouth Caravelle
Star Wars Fanatic ◊ 2007-06-10 13:28	So when does the Diplomat appear?
Snookie ◊ 2007-06-10 20:01	The Diplomat appeared right at the beginning when Matt Frewer yells 'We're nowhere near the east Seattle parkway' The grille clearly reads Dodge.
Star Wars Fanatic ◊ 2007-06-10 20:25	And how long does it stay a Diplomat?
Snookie ◊ 2007-06-10 21:08	Star Wars Fanatic wrote And how long does it stay a Diplomat? about 45 seconds

no1Uno ◊ 2007-06-19 04:40	It started as an '84 or '85 Dodge Diplomat AHB, then became a Gran Fury (or Caravelle) when they start shooting at it, then became a Diplomat again (note the silver taillights) -- Last edit: 2008-05-19 01:18:40

taxiguy ◊ 2008-05-19 01:20	The grill I think
no1Uno ◊ 2008-05-20 03:19	I don't any claer Caravelle pics but I compaired the grill on the one in the pics above to a very clear pic I have of an '88 Gran Fury and there identical so if the grill is differnt (on the Caravelle) this is defineatly a Gran Fury
taxiguy ◊ 2008-05-20 04:29	I was guessing about the grill, it might be the same, but it looks a little different to me It could be something else, check out the thumbnail pictures. Maybe there's a clue there, like an actual "Caravelle" badge on the fender or something...
taxiguy ◊ 2008-08-24 06:04	According to wikipedia, this car would actually be "Carvelle Salon", in order to distinguish it from the smaller K-body Caravelle introduced for 1983. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plymouth_Gran_Fury
ford_guy ◊ 2008-08-24 06:14	Yes, but before then this car was simply known as the Caravelle. I'm not sure when the police-package Caravelle was first introduced, whether 1981 or 1982. But it wasn't known as the Salon. And since this is at the most a 1985 model due to the absence of a third brake light (this being ID'd as a 1985 model is just a guess), we might want to default to the first year available and simply leave out the Salon name. -- Last edit: 2008-08-24 06:14:59
taxiguy ◊ 2008-08-24 15:32	Makes sense, I guess you can change it to '81 then if you'd like. I thought that this was an specifically an '85 model (since it was identified as such), but now that I look it was Snookie who said it and you can't always trust him when it comes to model years, can you?
car smasher ◊ 2009-03-25 07:33	that car took a beating!
