Motor Trend Car of the Year in the USA for 1976! Okay, don't start commenting on what a crappy car this was. Yes, 1976 was not a good start for the Volare. Many recalls, rusty fenders in just two years of ownership and poor initial quality on fit and finish. But that being said, this car eventually morphing into the Dodge Diplomat and Plymouth Grand Fury and Chrysler New Yorker would go on all the way till 1989. A 1976 Volare Front Door or Windshield will fit a 1989 Chrysler Fifth Avenue. In the Gran Fury form and Diplomat form, they were demanded by Police Departments and Taxi Cab Companies. It was a very bad entry into the market, but it did redeem itself. Sergie Franchi did to the Volare what Ricardo Montebahn did for the Chrysler Cordoba.
