Looks Like This.
The '78 Plymouth Caravelle was the "Canadian Only" version of the Dodge Diplomat.

Plymouth sold a sister car to the Dodge Diplomat in Canada called the Caravelle.
This was not sold in the US. In 1982 I believe the Gran Fury arrived at US Plymouth dealers. Meanwhile the RWD Caravelle was still sold in Canada. Once the K Car based Caravelle FWD car came out in around 1985, in Canada the rear wheel drive car became the Caravelle Salon. Get it! :icon_thumleft:

Don't know if a P/N's gonna help now but it's a start I guess.
Gonna be a quest I think.
I personally have seen VERY little by way of parts for my car though.
Been looking for years just to stockpile parts.
Ain't found jack really.
I did just find a pair of tail lights
Bur it's taken me 5 years just to find those.
A grille?
Could be tough. I wish you luck though.
Let us know how it goes.
May the Plymouth gods be with you.

looking for a really good 1978 plymouth caravelle grille.902-275-3037

If you can get the part number, you might have a chance.
I think it's just a 78 Diplomat grille.
W/O, it's gonna be a long wait until someone smacks up their now vintage Caravelle.

I'm pretty sure it's the same. There's no name on the grille to make it different.

Captain....part numbers are god in the internet world. You'll never get anywhere asking for 78 Caravelle parts. With the part numbers, there's very little you can't get.

Oh I am aware of that Doc.
All I'm saying is it's been a l-o-n-g time since I've seen ANY parts for my car.

Should be able to use a Dip grille as long as you have the chrome Plymouth section.

Beautiful looking car 78 caravelle, is that a dark metallic brown with a contrasting lighter vinyl roof? Does it have vinyl or cloth interior?
Sweet car, thanks!
