The Dodge Colt was a series of subcompact economy cars introduced for the 1971 model year. Due to a collaboration between Dodge parent company Chrysler and Mitsubishi, the Colt was largely a rebadged Mitsubishi model. For the first six years, the Colt was based on the Mitsubishi Galant, but from 1977 onwards, the model was based on the Mitsubishi Lancer. Over the course of production, the Colt was offered with a wide range of inline four engines and was built in seven generations before being discontinued in 1994.
