About Dodge Diplomat
The Dodge Diplomat is a mid-size car manufactured by American automaker Dodge from 1977 to 1989. The model was at first designed as a coupe or a sedan, but later in 1978, the station wagon model was added to fill the gap of the discontinuation of the full-sized C-body wagons. The vehicle was offered with a 225 cu in (3.7 L) straight-6 engine as standard and an optional 318 cu in (5.2 L) or a 360 cu in (5.9 L) V8. The first-generation model was launched in 1977, propelled by the 318 Lean Burn V8 with the output of 145 hp (108 kW) and 110 hp (82 kW) for the optional Slant Six. In the following model year, the V8's engine output decreased by 5 horsepower. For the new equipment, a 155 hp (116 kW) 360 cu in (5.9 L) V8 was added as an option. The second-generation auto was introduced in 1980.
As for the transmission, the 1978 model was given a four-speed manual as the basic edition. After 1983, the 318-CID V8 was offered as the only available choice and was paired with a two-barrel carburetor. The transmission shifted to a three-speed automatic or four-speed manual, with the performance of 16mpg in the city, 21mpg on the highway, and 18mpg combined, according to the statistics released by the EPA.

The chassis of the Dodge Diplomat shared the same with that of the Aspens, making the components interchangeable. As for other parts, the front and rear header panels, bumpers, hood, and trunk lid were unique, and larger taillights were assembled properly to create a connection for the rear hatch of the station wagon. The size of the station wagons was shorter than the sedans and coupes, but the latter two versions both featured unique bodywork with a longer rear overhang. For the next generation, the exterior of the car was redesigned, as the components' material was changed to sheet metal. The wheelbase of the wagon remained at 112.7 inches, but that of the coupe was measured as 108 inches. What's more, the grille of the car was narrowed, as well as the roofline of the sedan also be made a square for more headroom.
The brand ended the production of Dodge Diplomat in 1989. Looking back through its history, as the brand's last rear-wheel-drive non-truck model, the Diplomat symbolized the end of an era.
