So naturally, I loved the sight of this year-old Dodge Shadow convertible being towed by a similar-vintage motor home. This car had a good combination of attributes: It was relatively affordable, comfortable, and offered the fun of a convertible without the drawbacks of a sports car.
Available as 2- or 4-doors in a wide variety of trim levels, these models largely avoided the penalty-box awfulness of many small American cars of its era. More importantly, though, is that this car features the optional hp 3. Hopefully these folks were heading to a warmer climate where the Shadow could be more in its element. As for me, I doubt that I will ever own an RV, but should that ever change, I might look for a Shadow convertible to tow behind it.
What a great pairing. I always liked these little convertibles. But from the outside they always seemed like an appealing package. I think I would have been just as happy with the Shadow. The first car I bought with my own money was a Dodge Shadow convertible in Raspberry Red with a white top, grey interior, and manual transmission.
I loved that car, and I made the last payment on it in May, , the same month it moved with me to the Florida Keys, the perfect place for it. I miss that car.
What a great color combination that must have been. I think the car looks like a larger version of the Geo Metro Convertible, just nicer. Around here they turned to rust right around the millennium or so. But once Chrysler had the LeBaron convertible bits a Sundance convertible would cost them close to nothing. They are versions of the same thing. And not much different from the boxy predecessors, all K car based. The thing with any convertible is that once the top is down they are all about the same thing.
