This advertisement appeared on the inside back cover of the December 1978 National Geographic. It not only emphasizes the (apparently 1979) Diplomat's "great mileage," but uses Dodge's catch phrase from days gone by: "Hey, that's my Dodge!" |

This July 1978 National Geographic
advertisement pictures what appears to be a 1978 Diplomat; its front
grille and mileage ratings are slightly different than the 1979's
(pictured in the first ad). Still, the "diplomacy" pun makes
this ad memorable. A new larger size photo is now installed. From Eric Plosky's Diplomat Page |

This car was Scott Kuznicki's dad's first new
car, a Diplomat SE. He got it in October of 1985. Scott remembers when
they test drove it. It smelled and felt totally new (obviously). It had
185,000 miles on it when Scott traded it in September 1995. He says his
dad contends that it was one of the nicest cars ever made, and Scott
agrees. He says that despite the fact that the 318-V8 was choked by
emissions laws, it generated plenty of power, and it returned good fuel
mileage. Overall, he says it was a good buy for $10,000 in 1985. From KruzerWorld - Kruzer's Cars |

Eric Plosky's 1987 Dodge Diplomat.
His site says that it is "known variously as 'Hornet' (owing to the
presence of the string 'F18' in its license plate) and 'Airport Service'
(owing to the presence of vinyl letters to that effect on the trunk, a
present from the taxi company that previously owned the car)." From Eric Plosky's Diplomat Page |
