How about some love for the Dodge Mirada…

 This is a car I had completely forgotten about.
(Like most people I guess)

I was only made from 1980 to 1984. It replaced the Dodge Magnum. So it was basically a second generation Magnum.
And just like the Magnum, it was a sister car to the more famous Chrysler Cordoba.
But unlike the Cordoba, it didn’t get the great Ricardo Montalban as a pitchman…

I think this is one of the cleanest early 80’s American car design around.
Look at the picture above. it still looks very clean today.

 Of course, being the early 80’s , that had to have that stupid fake convertible looking vinyl top option. Which ruined the shape of the car…

Sure, these cars were actually nothing special. 3 speed automatics. An anemic slant 6 awn standard. Or 2 options V8s. With only 120HP or 185HP for the big 5.9 Liter.
And no Ricardo…

Still, for some reason, I think it would be a pretty cool ride today…

And here is a recent video of one!
Still looking pretty nice.
