    Exclusive Plymouth Dealers

    Common internet knowledge has it that Plymouth-only dealerships were a rare sight. Here's a quote from a recent online publication at Allpar: "With the resurgence of Plymouth in 1957, some experimental Plymouth-only stores were set up, scattered around the country, perhaps four or five of them...

    1977 Gran Fury advertisement parody

    This is a howler, from Indieauto: "You can still insist on a full measure of driving comfort, a veritable barge floating down the interstate, effortlessly passing all of the clattering little **** boxes. You have bigger dreams." (Apparently, the board software also finds it funny, because it...

    Did the Mass. State Police drive 1974 Dodges?

    I've been looking around, especially on the State Trooper Plate site, but I can't find a confirmation for 1974 Dodge with the MSP. The reason why I'm asking is the Greenlight model.

    Dealership Badge Dating

    This dealership badge is for a Buick dealership, but it still has my interest. At a certain point they interacted with "my" Mopar dealership, Slate Motor Co., in buying their GMC license: "The original Patterson Dealership was founded in 1969 by Richard L. Patterson Sr. as Patterson Buick/Opel...

    An Exercise in 1974 Mopar Colors

    In the category "So what?" I am trying to get a handle on those brown colors that grace the 1974 Mopars. There are five of them on that year's color chip card: KL8 Dark Moonstone Metallic, Ditzler 2633; #473216 sRGB(71, 50, 22) KT5 Sienna Metallic, Ditzler 2634; #A45C40 sRGB(164, 92, 64) KT9...

    Wyoming Ave plant

    At Allpar there is a nice write-up on the Chrysler Wyoming Ave plant, with text and pictures of our member @Bill Watson. And in a thread of some years ago he mentioned that this plant was used to prepare CKD kits for C-body export: That quote is from a discussion on 1971 Polara production...

    What killed Plymouth's Formal?

    Among the low-end full-size offerings, Plymouth took the severest beating during the Seventies. Just look how its market share dropped between 1973 and 1977: 1973: 12,26% 1974: 9,58% 1975: 8,64% 1976: 3,46% 1977: 3,19% (For this comparison, the total market consists, besides (Gran) Fury...

    318-2 in Formal C-Bodies

    I know at the time it wasn't the hottest configuration around (and it still isn't), but from 1975 through 1977 you could get a 318-2 engine in your full-size Dodge or Plymouth. And some buyers did. Jeffrey Godshall even mentions the end of the 1974 model year as the start of this practice. Just...

    Formal Styling

    From an Allpar page: " In the Chrysler Design Office (then called Styling Staff), there were “brand” studios: Plymouth Exterior Studio, Dodge Exterior Studio, and a Chrysler and Imperial Exterior Studio.

    1974 RH "remote" outside mirror

    This is a repeat from the "Passenger mirror?" thread, where this post somehow got drowned in a discussion of another type. Maybe somebody recognizes this: My RH outside mirror puzzles me as well. It sits on a 1974 Plymouth Fury III: No mention of it on the fender tag, so it must be an...

    1977 PK41U and PK41P: exhaust set-up

    U-code engines were dual exhaust, P-code engines single, but were there other differences? Did they both have mini-converters? And if U-code engines had mini-converters, did they have only one on the left side, accompanied by a manifold crossover with a heat control valve, or did they have two...

    Bananarama with Mopar(s)

    Maybe some of you guys already know this 1984 music video by Bananarama: Apart from the 1977-78 Fury cop car in the second half I think there are more Mopars in this clip, but their appearance is too short for me to pin them down. Nice feel-good music and the girls are portrayed as normal...

    Canadian Emissions Control

    In the 70s in Canada the introduction of emissions control regulation lagged somewhat behind the US developments. How did this work out for the equipment of C-body cars produced for the Canadian market? Did they come without catalyst and Lean Burn, for instance? And was there a difference...
