1979 Dodge Diplomat Wagon review from Norway
"An affordable American Luxury cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car was in a bad condition when bought.
Left wheel bearing changed
Rebuild the automatic choke
changed carburetor
fixed eletrical window (left rear) easy.
Refilled ac.
Some weird kakling sound from the converter when going in idle for a while.
General comments?
I like this car very much. lots of equipment, AC, PW, PS, PL, CC, Leather seats, and so on. This car is being looked at in Norway Where I live. The standards of an 79 car in Norway is more or less like an tractor compared with American luxury.
