Original Toronto Star caption: Dodge Aspen rides well and gets about 20 miles to the gallon with its optional 318 cubic inch V8 engine; but its shallow trunk and poorly designed head restraints are drawbacks; says Star test driver Len Coates. The Aspen and Plymouth Volare; new for 1976; are selling well.
