Plymouth Volare Rolls On 24s, End Times Upon Us?

Those tiny 14" wheels that Chrysler put on the Volare? Pizza cutters! Shopping-cart wheels! Try adding another ten inches of diameter to a Volare's wheels and you'll finally fill up those unsightly wheelwells, as we can can see in this '76. You need to keep the air shocks fully inflated in order to keep rear wheel scrapage to almost-tolerable levels, and there appears to be about 3/4" of space between the fronts and the wheelwells... but just look at it!

We couldn't have Maximum Mopar Day without this, but it sort of frightens us that a site like this exists. Yes, kids, it's the Dodge Aspen R/T and Plymouth Volar Road Runner Web Forum. Yeah, sure, Stiv Bators drove one onscreen, but hell, there are people who believe Stiv even made death cool. And besides, Chrysler's reviving the Aspen name, so they can't be all bad, can they? YMMV. More »
