Came across this newspaper clipping on Twitter. I had known that the Diplomat was approved for NASCAR Winston Cup competition, but I always wondered why none were entered. Finally have an answer.

Yeah, only in Busch/ARCA though, they were more lenient on body styles in those series. You can compare the Diplomat and Mirada pictures and see where they extended the opera window into the C-post. They messed with it again by the time it ran its final race at Pocono in '87 by adding another opera window.. quite odd.
