Rick, My mom bought the first Lebaron of that body style to make it to Houston (what the dealer friend to us at the time). It was a 77 1/2 LeBaron Medallion 2-Door. Maroon with white Leather interior. Just before I had learned to drive. So, remember a lot about it. Had a 360, power windows & seats, and cruise. A couple of features of the Medallion was the double-lensed tail lights with a clear lense in front with a silver eagle crest emblazoned. Also was imprinted on the rear quarter windows. First vacuum-flourscent digital clock I ever saw on a car. Thought we made the big-time. I imagine all of these are pretty rare now. Especially wagons!
