Close - It's the car that started me buying Japanese cars for the last 25 years, the dreaded Plymouth Volare. Looks to be first series - 1976-77. Check the badge on the lower front fender. |

Inscription does correspond with "Aspen" compare to "Volaré". Does anybody can verify the hubcap design? |

I looked at that Volare script for quite a few years. It's out of focus a bit but I still say that the first character is an open top V and not a closed top A. Comments?? |

You are right, it is Plymouth Volaré. I checked the first picture provided by ben68. |

Difficult to say but it indeed looks like the first character is V. The script looks different than in my Aspen. Did you have any problems with your Volare, big dave ? .gif ";)") |

Yes, I had to learn how to feather the accelerator on most left turns, stay away from semis on rainy days because of of the low lying spark plugs on the slant six and try as I might to keep it clean it rusted as fast as most older British cars. Another good example of avoiding a model in it's first year. Thank God for WD-40. Motor Trend car of the Year indeed. |

Lee Iacocca mentions in his book that Aspen/Volare was introduced six months too early. Customers infact acted as test drivers. Rust was a big problem. Bumpers rusted immediately and were replaced by a better ones in 1977 I think. By 1980 (year of my car) all major things were sorted out but bad reputation has remained to this day. |
