The alphabet soup of platforms that Chrysler based on the K-car during the 1980s and 1990s gets a little overwhelming to sort out. The “extended” K-car chassis was known as the E Platform and included the Dodge 600 (we’ve seen one in this series), the Chrysler E-Class (we’ve seen one of those as well) and the Plymouth Caravelle — essentially an E-class with a different grille — appearing for the 1985 model year. They didn’t sell particularly well, nor did they retain much value over the years, so spying one in a wrecking yard today is unusual.

Not quite the “Tormented Faces In Hell” badness of the Ford Granada’s fake wood, but still not very convincing.

The owner’s manual stayed with this car to the very end.

The interior is a sea of cushy Simu-Velour™ upholstery.


A Plymouth, engineered with quality and luxury to challenge the Buick Century and Olds Ciera… but for hundreds less.
