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! Thanks to LTDScott, Porcubimmer Pilot for the tip! [Craigslist Stockton, go here if ad disappears]

Where You Going, City Boy? 1978 Plymouth Volare Wagon


Could the '78 Plymouth Volaré station wagon really get 25 miles per gallon on the highway? And how about that "big-car comfort" mentioned in this ad? It might be tough to go from, say, a 1970 Chrysler Town & Country to one of these things, though at least you could get the Slant Six in a Volaré.

1977 Plymouth Volaré

Much as we car freaks might wish to pretend the Malaise Era never happened, we must face the reality that smog motors and rattletastic build quality were the hallmarks of Detroit products for quite a while. This '77 Volaré, spotted just down the street from the Ketchup und Mustard Transporter, is here to remind us of that reality. More »

Talk About Your Aspen/Volare Hi-Po Car!

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 »
