The only concrete differences I'm aware of between the two models are minor differences in the front grille. Since we can't see the grille in any pictures, I went with the Dodge because of the wheel covers. I have only seen those plain metal covers on the Aries. The was a minor difference in hood ornaments for the first two model years & then the ornament was discontinued altogether in 1985, since this doesn't appear to have one it must be at least a 1985 model.
