Imagine the sedan version of this car in mustard yellow. It was the car i drove in drivers ed in high school. Except, this car is still in better condition.
I had one exactly like this one! A 1977 Volare Premier. Beautiful car! Mine did the same thing--the vinyl roof peeled off in shreds like it had a disease. When it rained, it wouldn't start. It had that distinctive Mopar whine when you started it. It was five years old when I bought it, and had it for 3 years. The vinyl interior was something else. So soft, so deep maroon. 8 track player, cruise control...It rode like a Chrysler--soft...Too bad it fell apart.
Best of OPC.

Love the side profile shot and the vinyl roof shot. Volare coupes look great, shame they're so rare.
The Volare/Aspen has such poor quality, I bet the roof starting peeling off before it got to the end of the assembly line....
I love that vinyl half-roof! The town-car look. I can hear Sergio Franchi sweet tenor voice!
Any car that has turn indicators the size of headlights is a winner in my book.
Any car that has small exterior fender-mounted turn indicators visible to the driver is a winner in my book.
I think Volares and Aspens are one of the best looking Malaise era American cars. Would definitely be happy driving one of these around.
