Junkyard Find: 1980 Chrysler Cordoba

It seems strange, but sufficient Chrysler Cordobas still exist to provide a sporadic flow of fresh examples to self-serve wrecking yards. In this series, we've seen this '78, another '78, this '79, and now today's personally luxurious blue '80.
The downsized second-gen 1980-83 Cordobas, which were based on the Volare/Diplomat platform and didn't differ much from their Dodge Mirada siblings, sold very poorly. You aren't going to find many of these things today, either on the street or lined up before the Crusher's jaws.
Soft Corinthian Leather was still an option— Ricardo Montalban would have quit in disgust otherwise— but this car has the more affordable soft Corinthian Velour.
With a smog-o-lated 318 under the hood, chopping a few hundred extra pounds out of the Cordoba for the '80 model year made this car a much livelier performer.
The landau roof and touch-o-plastic-class grille treatment were properly Cordoba-ish, but where did the "gold" medallions go?


Not to worry, Ricardo liked what they did to his car!
