What models did Plymouth make?

Plymouth produced dozens of models from 1928 to 2001, ranging from affordable family cars to muscle machines and minivans. Notable models include the Valiant, Belvedere, Fury (and Sport Fury), Barracuda, Road Runner, GTX, Satellite, Duster, Scamp, Volaré, Horizon/Turismo, Reliant, Sundance, Acclaim, Voyager/Grand Voyager, Neon, Breeze, Laser, and the Prowler, alongside early series like the De Luxe/Special DeLuxe and Suburban wagons. Below is a concise, era-by-era guide to the key Plymouth nameplates sold in North America.

Early models and postwar lineup (1928–1959)

This list highlights Plymouth’s formative models and series, from the first Model Q through the postwar DeLuxe lines and the brand’s first foray into premium and performance with Fury. It focuses on commonly recognized nameplates and series as marketed in the U.S. and Canada.

• Model Q (1928): Plymouth’s debut, an affordable six-cylinder car launched under Chrysler.
• Model U and 30U (1929–1930): Early successors with incremental engineering updates.
• PA (1931) and PB (1932): Refinements that cemented Plymouth’s value positioning.
• PC/PD/PE/PJ series (1933–1936): A succession of annual series improving styling and durability.
• P1/P2 (1936), P3/P4 (1937), P5/P6 (1938): Late-’30s series culminating in streamlined bodies.
• Road King (P7/P9, 1939–1940): Budget line positioned below the De Luxe series.
• De Luxe (P8/P10, 1939–1940): Better-trimmed companion to Road King.
• Special DeLuxe and DeLuxe (1941–1942; 1946–1950): Postwar mainstays resuming after WWII production pause.
• Suburban (1949–1978): Long-running station-wagon name used across series.
• Concord, Cambridge, Cranbrook (1951–1953): Early-’50s lineup tiers replacing DeLuxe naming.
• Plaza (1954–1958), Savoy (1954–1961; 1962–1964), Belvedere (1951–1970): Core ’50s/early ’60s sedans and wagons.
• Fury (1956 limited-production; full line 1959–1978): Began as a premium/performance hardtop, later Plymouth’s full-size flagship.

Together these models established Plymouth as a volume leader with practical sedans and wagons, while planting the seeds for later performance-oriented nameplates through the Fury badge.

The 1960s: compacts, muscle, and full-size choices

In the 1960s, Plymouth broadened its reach with the compact Valiant, expanded the full-size Fury range, and launched some of the era’s most iconic muscle and performance models.

• Valiant (1960–1976): Compact mainstay in multiple trims (including Signet), underpinned many sporty variants.
• Belvedere (1951–1970) and Satellite (1965–1974): Mid-size lines that bridged family and performance roles.
• Fury I/II/III and Sport Fury (1962–1973/1971): Full-size lineup tiers; Sport Fury added performance/luxury flair.
• VIP (1966–1969): Upmarket full-size aimed at premium buyers.
• Barracuda (1964–1974): Fastback-origin pony car that evolved into the famed ’Cuda performance variants.
• GTX (1967–1971): “Gentleman’s hot rod” positioned above the standard performance trims.
• Road Runner (1968–1980): Value-focused muscle car that became a brand icon.
• Savoy (1962–1964): Entry-level full-size in the early ’60s.
• Superbird (1970): Limited-run, winged NASCAR homologation special based on the Road Runner.

This decade defined Plymouth’s performance identity, balancing affordable compacts with potent big-block muscle and distinctive aero specials.

The 1970s: diversification in a changing market

Amid emissions rules and fuel crises, Plymouth diversified with compacts, imports, and a new SUV, while legacy nameplates transitioned into different segments.

• Duster (1970–1976): Sporty compact (initially Valiant Duster), hugely popular; name later reused as trim.
• Scamp (1971–1976): Valiant-based coupe; name briefly revived for a 1983 car-based pickup.
• Satellite (1965–1974): Mid-size line that overlapped with early-’70s Fury trims.
• Fury (1975–1978, mid-size) and Gran Fury (1975–1977 full-size; later returns): Full- and mid-size transitions.
• Volaré (1976–1980): Replacement for the Valiant/Satellite in many roles.
• Horizon (1978–1990): Front-drive subcompact hatchback, a new direction for Plymouth.
• Horizon TC3/Turismo (1979–1987): Sporty coupe derivative of the Horizon.
• Cricket (1971–1973): Captive-import compact (Rootes/Hillman Avenger).
• Arrow (1976–1980, coupe) and Arrow pickup (1979–1982): Mitsubishi-sourced sporty compact and small pickup.
• Sapporo (1978–1983): Mitsubishi-sourced personal coupe.
• Trailduster (1974–1981): Full-size 2-door SUV, twin to Dodge Ramcharger.

Plymouth adapted to the times by leaning into compacts and imports, while still offering traditional sedans and the brand’s first SUV.

The 1980s: K-cars, hatchbacks, and the birth of the minivan

The 1980s marked a shift toward front-wheel drive and efficiency, anchored by K-car sedans and the pioneering minivan that reshaped family transportation.

• Reliant (1981–1989): K-car sedan/wagon that revived Plymouth’s fortunes.
• Caravelle (Canada 1981–1988; U.S. 1985–1988): Mid-size K-car line, positioned above Reliant in many markets.
• Gran Fury (1982–1989): Traditional rear-drive sedan, popular with fleets and police.
• Voyager (1984–2000) and Grand Voyager (1988–2000): The original minivans; Plymouth mainstays for two decades.
• Horizon (1978–1990) and Turismo (1983–1987): Subcompact hatch and sportier coupe variant.
• Champ (1979–1982) and Colt (1971–1994): Mitsubishi-sourced subcompacts; “Champ” name later consolidated into Colt.
• Colt Vista (1983–1994): Compact MPV/wagon (Mitsubishi-derived).
• Sundance (1987–1994): Compact hatchback slotting below mid-size offerings.
• Acclaim (1989–1995): Mid-size sedan replacing Caravelle in the U.S.
• Scamp (1983, car-based pickup): Short-lived companion to Dodge Rampage.

Front-drive architectures and the wildly successful Voyager put Plymouth back on many American driveways, while legacy rear-drive sedans wound down.

The 1990s–2001: modern compacts and specialty cars

As the brand moved toward its sunset in 2001, Plymouth focused on small cars, minivans, and one headline-grabbing hot-rod revival.

• Laser (1990–1994): Sport coupe co-developed with Mitsubishi (sibling to Eclipse/Talon).
• Sundance (1987–1994) and Acclaim (1989–1995): Core compact and mid-size through the early ’90s.
• Colt (through 1994) and Colt Vista (through 1994): Final years for Plymouth’s Mitsubishi-sourced small cars/MPVs.
• Neon (1995–2001): Popular compact sedan/coupe; the final Plymouth passenger car.
• Breeze (1996–2000): Mid-size sedan companion to Chrysler Cirrus/Dodge Stratus.
• Voyager and Grand Voyager (through 2000): Minivans transitioned to Chrysler brand for 2001.
• Prowler (1997; 1999–2000 as Plymouth, 2001 as Chrysler): Retro-styled aluminum hot rod.

Plymouth’s late-’90s portfolio leaned on value-focused sedans and minivans, with the Prowler serving as a halo. The final Plymouth built was a 2001-model-year Neon in June 2001.

Notes on nameplates and trims

Some well-known Plymouth identifiers were trims or sub-series rather than standalone models. This context helps interpret the badge history correctly.

• Sport Fury and Fury I/II/III were Fury-series subdivisions/trim levels at various times.
• ’Cuda referred to high-performance versions of the Barracuda.
• Road Runner continued after 1975 on the Volaré platform as a performance appearance package.
• “Suburban” denoted wagon body styles across multiple series, not a separate platform.
• “Duster” and “Scamp” names returned in later years as trims or on different body styles (e.g., 1983 Scamp pickup).

Understanding these distinctions avoids double-counting and clarifies how Plymouth marketed performance and body-style variants within broader model families.

Summary

Across 73 years, Plymouth built an extensive lineup that evolved with the market: utilitarian prewar sedans; postwar family cars; ’60s icons like the Barracuda, GTX, and Road Runner; ’70s compacts and imports; the ’80s K-car era and groundbreaking Voyager minivans; and ’90s value compacts capped by the Neon and the attention-grabbing Prowler. While the badge retired in 2001, many Plymouth models remain staples of American automotive history.
