ANY Chrysler product with a 318 or a slant-6 automatically qualifies as
a frugal, reliable, and cheap-to-maintain vehicle. Generally, the older
A- and B-bodies (Dart, Valiant, Satellite, Coronet) are better than the
later F bodies like the Aspen and Volare. But by the 80s, the M-bodies
(Diplomat, Gran Fury) were pretty solid again, if uninspired
styling-wise. A Caravelle is the Canadian M-body, isn't it?
