The Plymouth Caravelle(s) were Canadian only models of the Chrysler
M-body, and later the K-body.  It was produced intermittently during
the 70's and 80's.  

I mis-spent a great deal of my teenage years on "road-tours" in a
friends 1981 Plymouth Caravelle coupe.  Slant-six, auto and RWD.  The
leaning-tower-of-power pushed it to a top speed of about 145kph.
