Junkyard Gem: 1998 Plymouth Breeze Expresso

When the last of the Chrysler K-Car variants and descendants finally went away after the 1994 model year, they were replaced by the Cloud Cars: the Chrysler Cirrus, Dodge Stratus, and Plymouth Breeze. These cars had the “cab-forward” design introduced by the radical-looking Chrysler LH series a few years earlier, sold acceptably well, and then […]

Junkyard Gem: 1975 Plymouth Valiant Sedan

Chrysler built the US-market Plymouth Valiant for the 1960 through 1976 model years (OK, Mopar nitpickers, the 1960 model was its own marque, called simply “the Valiant”), and the reliable, fuel-efficient small Plymouth was a huge sales success for most of that period. Here’s a used-up ’75 sedan, photographed in a San Francisco Bay Area […]

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Plymouth Reliant LE Woodie Station Wagon

Chrysler was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy in the late 1970s, but a government bailout kept the company on life support long enough for the new K platform to hit the marketplace in 1981 and turn things around.

The Spirit of ’76: A Big Country Requires a Big Wagon, Like This Plymouth Gran Fury

– In the mid-1970s, with sport-utility vehicles and vans still operating on the fringes of the market, the station wagon was the vehicle of choice for motoring through great swaths of this great land. And, as far as size was concerned, 1976 was the high-water mark for the biggest domestic-brand wagons—cars like this Plymouth Gran […]

Junkyard Gem: 1990 Plymouth Laser RS Turbo

When Diamond Star Motors, a Chrysler-Mitsubishi joint venture, came online in the late 1980s, the first products to come out of the Normal, Illinois assembly plant were versions of the first-generation of the Mitsubishi Eclipse. There was the Eclipse itself, the Eagle Talon, and the Plymouth Laser. Here’s a somewhat tattered example of the latter […]
