Commander 57 ◊ 2013-04-22 04:17	No, 1978 was the last year for the Matador sedan. You might be thinking of the Ambassador, which was discontinued after the 1974 model year. It's been a long time and I'm not positive, but I seem to recall that round hood ornament was used for the final (1978) year. Can anyone confirm this? -- Last edit: 2013-04-22 04:22:49
