The Dodge Diplomat became an immediate hit when it was released in 1977. It was the second best-selling Dodge after six months on the market behind only the Dodge Aspen. The Diplomat was originally available as a coupe, sedan and wagon, but after 1981 it was produced strictly as a sedan. Known for its practicality, the Dodge Diplomat has eluded easy classification because its size sits on the borderline between traditional mid-size and compact categories. Nevertheless, the Diplomat came to be known for its smooth ride, dependability and affordability.
