old yellow 78

It's an interesting car looking more closely at the pics. It seems to have the window sill chrome trim, and trim around the windows that would have been part of the Custom or Premier package, yet is otherwise a very plain jane. Another example of how these cars seem to have been able to be ordered any which way, particularly beginning with the '78 model year, when I believe ANY options could be ordered separately instead of only in packages of Custom, or SE/Premier that were offered in '76/'77. The book Dodge Aspen and Plymouth Volare - An American Car Story by Tony Dzik points this out.
This wagon also has chrome wheel well trim on the right front fender, but not the others from what I can see. It even has the basic manual outside rear view mirror, no remote control. The dash pad and the bumpers seem to be in very nice shape, and someone should grab them for sure. Even the steering wheel looks ok - too bad its not the three spoke Premier wheel, or it would already be in the mail to me.
This wagon looks a lot like OY, but is even more plain:
This is one of the pics of OY when it was listed on EB out in Colorado before I bought it. The color on both wagons is the one year only "Classic Cream" which I really like as it was fairly unusual back then, and very rare to see light yellow on any car today.
I guess the carpet is missing in the parts car because someone might have been checking out how bad the floor rust was before junking it. From the pics, the rust doesn't look that bad, doesn't seem like there is any on the body panels. It's really too bad that this one couldn't have been saved. There are not many 4 speed wagons around anymore.
