no-a ◊ 2020-03-10 23:16	Oh my, what a tricky identification I guess it should be listed as 1979 Dodge Valiant Volare due to this year's tail lights and bumper. As night_cub posted here /vehicle_371484-Dodge-Valiant-Volare-1977.html night cub wrote "The Aspen/Volare was introduced in Mexico in 1977 as the next-generation Dart and Valiant — as many argued they should have been brought to the United States, that is to say, a year later and with the Dart and Valiant names. During the Volare life span (1977-1982) the Volare was sold as a coupe-form, no-frills Dart, using an Aspen grille and Volare back with a Valiant tag in the tail lights. Back then, every make was sold under one brand; every Chrysler, Dodge or Plymouth car were sold as Dodges, so it was easy to exchange grills and tails to launch a new model. For example, in 1977, the Mexican Volare had the nose of an Aspen, but the tail lights of Volare." http://www.allpar.com/model/aspen.html So, Dodge Valiant Volare is the right name, but we have few Valiant Volare entries, which in this case are incorrect /vehicles_make-Valiant_model-Volare.html Plus few of them are sedans and should be listed as Dodge Dart (plus sedan and wagon from here /vehicles_make-Dodge_model-Valiant+Volare.html), 'cause Valiant Volare was only a two-door offering.
