The Dodge Diplomat is an American mid-size car that was produced by Dodge from 1977 to 1989. At launch, it shared a common design with the Chrysler LeBaron and for much of its later production run was the counterpart of the more upscale Chrysler Fifth Avenue and lower priced Plymouth Gran Fury.It was also sold in Mexico between 1981 and 1982 as the Dodge Dart, and in Colombia as the Dodge Coronet. This 1981 Dodge Diplomat is a stock survivor that remains in highly original condition. While most Diplomats went down the slippery slope of being a widely available model that could be driven every day with minimal upkeep, this one has escaped that fate, almost certainly owned by an older individual who racked up a mere 33,999 original miles.
