    Having owned a 2 door of this (80 Canadian Caravel ) I would love this wagon. Nice to see this one like mine was spared the electronic spark control crap also. Basically a Volare with a different skin (owned 2 of them way back) and I would say/compare the ride to a full size floater of the era.

    Not sure if I would pay that price, but I like it non the less..........

    I too, would pull a sweet '83 - '89 Fifth Avenue blue leather interior and the header panel and put them on this car. I haven't seen a non-T&C M-body wagon in a long time.

    I still see a lot of the Diplomat sedans around here, but not too often a wagon.

    Even when new they were not that common yet the upscale woody Labarons were all over it seemed.
