1985 Chrysler Volaré Odds are you’ll never ever see never ever see among these autos, yet recognize this: Chrysler delighted in some really

complicated rebadging back in the

Eighties, particularly in Mexico. Much more world-car enjoyable There are lots of reasons an American carmaker could employ brands differently in different North American markets. The now-defunct Fargo vehicle brand, as an example, enabled Chrysler-Plymouth dealers to market pick-ups up North. Never mind that Fargo and Dodge trucks were absolutely identical.

Today we’re going to take a look at Chrysler’s K-Car, which was offered in the U.S. between 1981 and 1989. The cost effective small coupes, cars, and wagons were a hit in the U.S., so selling them southern of the border was just sensible. Oh, but the advertising …

The K-Cars were offered in the U.S. as the Plymouth Reliant as well as the Dodge Aries. Yet in Mexico, the Reliant ended up being the Chrysler Volaré, and also the Aries the Dodge Dart. Study right into the name changes for the Mexican market turns up numerous reasons for the tag swap, though every one of them feel like assumptions. The majority of fascinating, I think, is that the Plymouth brand was swapped for Chrysler.

The Volaré was supplied in Mexico in sports car and sedan form, while the Dart was likewise offered as a wagon.

It’s all really complicated.

Enjoyable reality: At this same time, the Plymouth Reliant was offered in Canada as the Caravelle.

For 1986, the Dart was relabelled 600, as well as transferred to the extended K-Car design that underpinned the U.S. Chrysler E-Class, Dodge 600, as well as Plymouth Caravelle. The Dart coupe as well as wagon went away.
