Back in the '79 time frame, I concluded that if I later found a Cordoba close to what I would have ordered in '76, I'd like to buy it. Unfortunately, those were few and far between, if ever. About the same as a '70 "Beak Bird" T-bird. A good Cordoba 300 might have substituted. But as other long-term issues evolved, never did get there. Still like the cars a lot. They represent a more energetic/positive time in my then-young life. Driving a Cordoba, back then, meant that one was headed toward better things in the future, by observation.
Those earlier Cordobas were one of the FEW cars that were aspirational for younger professionals/families and also welcomed by "downsizing" couples in their later (Marcus Welby generation) years. The '90s Chrysler 300Ms seemed to have the same multi-generational appeal, by observation. Never saw that happen with GM cars, with a few Fords, ever.
Still wouldn't mind one, as long as it was a 400. A 400HO would be great, if it wasn't a bench seat car, too. But those dreams are mostly faded now, from other realities of later life.
