"If you can find a better built, better backed car, BUY IT."
People love to tease about the K cars and Minivans but they paid a LOT of salaries for the old Chrysler organization.

Don't laugh. My 1991 LeBaron travelled 174k miles. Two convertible tops, one transmission, and no other major problems. I place it on my better cars I've owned list.

Iacocca would have been a great president.

I'm happy he didn't live to see the end of Chrysler like we will witness. Rest in peace.

...and those 2 other American car manufacturers didn't have anything to crow about IMO.

Ugh, the 1980s car offerings.

 

[Kern Dog]

They actually were not bad cars. They were reliable and cheap. I sold new cars in 1985 at a few dealerships...I worked at Sunrise Chrysler Plymouth in the Summer of 1985.
I'm no fan of front wheel drive but they did sell better than the Aspen and Volare!

 

[Dennis H]

Had them for work for years and years. White with red velour.

Sorry, back on track. A great man. R.I.P.

I agree had a neighbor with an aspen every time we see him we'd say hey how's your Aspen thing lasted as long as I can remember never saw him working on it

Allentown. A good place to be from. Immigrants of the old definition.

Much as I don't care about them, he was instrumental in the mustang's development also...maybe thee most popular American car of all time? First real driving experience was sneaking mom's reliant-K out with my buddies at 15....
RIP

 

[Dennis H]

We snuck out the 65 Mustang on Long Beach Island, NJ. 6 Cylinder, 3 speed on the floor. No power steering. Got it back without a wreck. That was in 69.

RIP old friend.
I wrenched at Cal Worthington Dodge Huntington Beach in 1988.
I think I could do a 2.2 timing belt in my sleep. "it gets easy after the first hundred"
