I know they are the red headed step child of the Mustang world but I always liked those little cars in a way.

My oldest sister's first car was a piss yellow mid 70's model Mustang...can't remember the exact year but somewhere around a '75.

Looked somewhat similar to this one:

I think the Volare is pretty cool. Don't see those anymore

Anybody remember these Volares? Back in 78 my sister brought a 2 tone silver and green Volare off the showroom floor. They had one of these sitting on the sales floor. I was all of 17 at the time and was driving a 68 Road Runner. Salesmen keep going out of his way trying to get me to trade in my RR on this. I told him I didn't like the idea of door numbers and if I'd really wanted to get laughed at I would get a Camaro. He even went as far as telling me that when the cars are shipped the numbers are in the trunk to be dealer installed. I finally had to tell him that I was 17 and would have to have not only a co-signer but a job that paid better than the minimum wage that I was making. Saw this a couple of weeks ago at a local show. Still doesn't look right. Maybe if they lost the numbers. A couple of years after a friend got a job at that Plymouth dealer in the body shop. One of the guys he worked with asked him if he knew what Volare meant in Italian. When he said "Love,Right?",The guy said no,"Rustbucket!"....

All my cars are in my sig.My 70,My Magnum,Her 07 Vert.

Ha! "Anybody remember Volares?" How's this...Vo-Lar-E...whoa whoa whoa, Vo-Lar-E". Once the tune from those commercials got inside your head it NEVER goes away! LOL

My favorite version was sung by Newbomb Turk. Well, maybe sung isn't the exact right verb... (see "car guy" movie thread)

I had a four door Volate and drove a Diplomat on patrol for a while.

I do like the four door.

I currently have the 65 FB, 67 coupe, 2000 F350 4x4 crew cab, 2012 Dodge Durango Citadel, GMC Jimmy and S10.

Not fond of the two GM products but they were a good deal and are getting the girls through school.

Next, probably a hemi truck or Challenger or maybe a 67/8 Camaro.

But did he play accompaniment mit his...well, you know! LOL

I am also not a fan of those cars either. However they are rare and they didn't make a lot of them. These cars are a pain to find parts for too. I'll have to get a more recent picture of the car too. I gave the car to my father awhile back and he had stripes put on it last year. Not really my style, but whatever makes him happy. Atleast they are vinyl, and can come off easy.

Wasn't it the cop that sung it?

Nope. That would have been his version of the supposed theme from Lawrence of Arabia. Newbomb flatulated his way to movie immortality with his version of Volare.

Thanks! The '64 seems to be more popular, but I just love the fins on the '63. Beautiful fastback BTW!
