Dodge Diplomat

M-body facelift

For 1980, the Dodge Diplomat received a facelift that refreshed its front and rear styling while retaining the same M-body architecture. The update kept the car in the U.S. market and carried the Diplomat through the early 1980s with the same basic body shell. This phase ended when the next styling update arrived for 1983.
