My parents had an Aspen. It had the 318 V8, sport wheels, etc. and looked pretty sharp for the era. It was the first car that I ever drove.  Unfortunately it was a HUGE POS that always had some issue or another including spraying oil all over the engine compartment.

That’s an interesting use of the word “small”.

Many people were bewildered over how Chrysler had managed to turn the Dart/Valiant into the Aspen/Volare. Electronic Lean- Burn was part of it, but not all.

It would have been about an inch shorter than the current Charger, but, to be fair, the Charger is pretty small for a full-size car.

my folks almost got a 77 Aspen wagon - mom nixed that idea and they got a VW Kombi instead

I have a similar memory of parents flopping in 1984 . Many new and diverse c hoices . They passed on an Alliance (“ piece of shit” ), a Voyager (“ I can’t see the end of the hood” ) and got a Cherokee.

Shame the world didn’t see a brown t-bar roof Aspen wagon.

Small was much different in the era of big lazy engines and longitudinal mounting.
