There was also an export Dodge Spt. Fury equivalent
called "Kingsway Lancer"... ...it's my understanding
that Canada did not get this car, which probably would
have been called "Sport Viscount" had it been
available there...
Not sure of the Kingsway Lancer proeduction numbers,
but I understand there were only 22 Diplomat
Adventurers (14 2drHTs, 8 convertibles).

And thanks, Phillippe, for the thumbnails, which are
now on my hard drive... (Did you save any other pics
from the 57heaven.com site? I searched for it once
again the other day and it was down, whether
temporarily or otherwise I am not sure...)
