Plymouth Volare Roadrunner
The Roadrunner was one of the most iconic cars that were ever built, but there was another variation of the Roadrunner as well. The Volare was the budget-oriented car that Plymouth sold during this era. Yet in the Roadrunner trim, it was a whole different beast. The Volare Roadrunner was a performance powerhouse at a time when automakers were cutting back with more fuel-efficient designs. The 1980s were a rough time for Plymouth and there were only 496 cars with the A57 option, also known as the Roadrunner (via Hagerty).
The styling and the horsepower made the car stand out from the crowd, which was a good thing. The Plymouth cars from this era were some of the most powerful examples of automotive engineering and the cars are still very fun to drive to this day. Although the sales numbers were disappointing, the Volare Roadrunner wasn’t a bad car by any means.
