Question about Lebaron T/C station wagon (auto, engine, Chrysler)

[rlrl]

Three weeks ago I had bought a cute small die cast replica of a Chrysler LeBaron Town & Country station wagon in Rite Aid. I posted that here and in fact the discussions turned to die cast replicas. Rite Aid also carried 2 door Pintos in different colors and they had a cool 68 Chevelle in beige

The lebaron wagon I bought was perfect--blue with woodgrain siding(unpretentious Mopar) and a cool hood ornament, even top luggage rack, opening front doors and hood.

I am trying to figure out what year this car is. It's basically a Volare/Aspen wagon in Chrysler dressing and those ran from 76-80 but I know they did carry this body past 80, in some cases all the way up to 89

I think the Lebaron was introduced in 78, does anyone know how long this wagon lasted for?

1979 Chrysler Lebaron Town and Country Station Wagon
Chrysler Enters the Computer Age
Economic woes hurt auto sales in 1979 (Chrysler was down 8%) despite advances both inside and out. All Chrysler cars were lighter due to using space-age materials in both the engine and bumpers. And for the first time these Chryslers were equipped with a Diagnostic Connector that feed information to an Electronic Engine Performance Analyzer. The computer age was here.

The Lebaron Town and Country station wagon had sales of 17,463 costing $6191 with the V-8 engine option. Long abandoning real wood trim, the Town and Country had teakwood-grain wood tone appliqué with simulated white ash molding. Our 1:24 scale replica, with its factory baked-enamel cashmere paint job looks just as good as they did rolling off the Chrysler assembly line.
