Junkyard Find: 1991 Dodge Shadow

The Chrysler K platform was getting pretty dated by the early 1990s, though the 2.2/2.5 engine family was still technologically relevant (when compared to such Industrial Revolution-era machinery as GM's Iron Duke). Chrysler put together yet another version of the K platform to create the P-body, which it then used as the basis for a family of compact cars intended to replace the even-more-dated Omnirizon cars. Thus was the Dodge Shadow born. Chrysler sold quite a few Shadows, which means you still see them on the road every now and then. I've been seeing Shadows and Sundances in large quantities in junkyards for the last 15 or so years, and only recently has the flow of P-bodies to The Crusher slowed down. Before they're all gone, here's a bronze Shadow I spotted at a Denver self-serve yard.
Just 110,000 miles on the clock, which means this car averaged just over 5,000 miles per year during its lifetime.
The Shadow was just your basic transportation appliance, and most examples were used up and thrown away before the dawn of the 21st century.
