When they were new I wasn't impressed.

Now I kinda like them.

I like it too and think it would look much better with tires with a little more meat. I don't like to see cars like this with tow hitch.

Hideous. Nowhere near the comparable Caddy, Lincoln, Buick, etc.

My parents bought a 1979 Cordoba, new off the lot. It didn't even last 100,000 miles.

No love for the J body? Granted, trim pieces, bumpers, plastics didn't last but super solid drivetrain. Just keep it out of any weather.

The seats where comfy. I have told this story before. When my parents bought it, no one, not the builders, dealer, or my parents noticed that it only had one opera window, on the passenger side and none on the drivers. The dealer offered to have it fixed but my dad said no.

That is was. It even took us a couple of weeks to notice it. My younger brother was sitting in the back and noticed. I wish it was still around, but it went to the scrappers in the early 90s.

When I was a little kid, my friend's dad was a Police Officer. By 6 years old I already knew cars very well. His dad got a new patrol unit, a 1978 Aspen A38. I have no idea how or why, but the right taillight was Aspen, and the left was Volare. Maybe it was cracked in shipping or at prepping, and they only had a Volare one at the time, but it looked really odd. I remember asking his dad what the heck, but he mumbled something and I don't remember.

When I was young 14-16 I used to helped an old guy in the neighborhood who restored 55/58 T-Birds. When we where taking them apart, I would comment on how poorly the manufacturing was of them. He had worked on the assembly line, and said they pushed you so hard for production numbers that if a part was defective, bent, out-of-alingnment you just put it ion and didn't worry about it. But for him restoring them they had to be perfect. He did some beautiful work.

A friend who lived down the street had a,Doba he got in trade.
He was a Chrysler mechanic at the dealer. He drive a 1974 Cuda 360 4 Speed and needed $
So traded the Cuda for a super clean, low mile Doba and cash.
It was mint 318 car. He built a nice low mile take out 360 with 340 cam and dules with quite turbo type muffs.
Car was plush and ran well.
