Dodge Diplomat grille and lights but the badge on the front wing is from the nearly identical Chrysler LeBaron.  Maybe someone just liked the look of the LeBaron Badge?  Most M-Body Chrysler LeBaron Station Wagons were the Town & County trim, with fake wood running down the sides.  The "wood" was also available as an option on the Dodge version.  This one has the narrow chrome strips that defined the outer edge of the "wood" applique, suggesting this car originally had the fake wood, but it appears someone has removed it.

Also, the small, amber light at the top corner of the front wing was never on any US market M-Body Mopar.  I suspect this is something added to satisfy Norwegian rules?

Seller says this is a Dodge Diplomat but registered as a Dodge Le Baron so I don't know what it really is. And the back end still has fake wood so if I had to guess it has had body repairs and the fake wood was then removed as it was difficult to replace. And I think the amber light is something installed to the rules here, yes, and it's very similar to others I've seen on other car models. But it's a nice survivor as most like this one are roller-painted matte black and get ruined by their owners here.
