I don't think anyone has hit on it yet - or maybe yes, but got the year wrong. Please note that the tail lights go all across the rear. Where did the license plate go?
 
OK. I win the prize. It's a mid-1980s Chrysler LeBaron Fifth Avenue. For 100% sure. The plate goes on the bumper between two guards. Probably a 1985. Hint - hover your cursor over parts of the picture and see what it says...
 
Paul - As Foghorn Leghorn used to say - "Now son, I say, son, I say ... " you've hit it!

Look at photos of a 1981 Chrysler LeBaron four door. Same rear bumper, lights, rear window, rear door windows and handles, short trunk compared to engine hood. Sure looks like the car in my first photo to me. I say, Bravo, I say!

Not so quick. I can go with a 1980 or 1981 Chrysler LeBaron, but not the Fifth Avenue. The Fifth Avenue has a vinyl top with wider C pillar.

Here's one: https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7113/7429262368_2d313428d0_z.jpg, another: https://cs.copart.com/v1/AUTH_svc.pdoc00001/PIX58/d1ee4cf9-674f-40fc-8831-018ec3516d46.JPG

The '79's had taillights that wrapped around the rear fender, so it's newer than a '79.
The '82 seems to have done away with the little fixed window in the rear door and replaced it with a solid piece: https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.bMLqBqkR2lHPoZk_ML57xgHaFj&pid=Api&P=0&w=222&h=168. It seems to stay that way until 1986, when they went to wrap-around tail lights again.
