A reasonably well-maintained retired 1987
Diplomat squad car I found for sale online. |

This is a 1981 Dodge Diplomat wagon owned by
Kai Inge Sletvold. These pictures are quite noteworthy. They
are easily the best-angled photos of a Diplomat wagon I've ever received,
and they highlight the unusual thinking that led to the older styled tail
lights being on the same car as the newer styled grille. I suppose
that the designers may have known the wagon was going to be cancelled, so
why redesign the tail lights for a two-year run? Most interesting is
that this particular car hails from Norway. |

Anthony Churchill's beautiful 1979 Diplomat
named Sluggo. The full size photo is quite large, but as well-kept
as Sluggo is, he has nothing to hide from a good close look.

Another eBay photo. Pull up the full
size image and you will see three Buddy L Dodge Diplomat toy cars.
On the upper right, a blue Diplomat Squad, and the lower right a white
Diplomat Squad and Red Diplomat Fire Chief's car. |

eBay continues to be an interesting source of
photos. Here was a framed photo of a late 80's Diplomat SE for
sale. Someone who loved Dips very much must have done this, because
as much as we like them, we don't usually treat photos of them the same
that others might do for a Viper or exotic foreign sports car. |
