Junkyard Find: 1977 Dodge Aspen Station Wagon

The Aspen (and its Plymouth sibling, the Volaré) didn't hold their value so well, and nearly all of them were crushed by the early 1990s. I photograph them whenever I see them, of course, but that isn't often. In this series before today, we've seen this '76 Aspen sedan, this '76 Volaré sedan, this brown-on-beige '77 Volaré coupe and this '77 Volaré Premier wagon, and now we've got a mossy, lichen-covered Northern California Aspen wagon.

Better than a Nova? That's a tough call.
