We bought an 82 Chrysler LeBaron convert about 8 years ago, it was all original, except for top, tires, belts hoses and muffler. It had 12,500 miles on it! The Mark Cross leather interior is very, very comfortable. It's our cruise-in car, I get a lot of questions about it.
Preserve it! A key piece of automotive history that got so neglected for decades.
Without it, there would be no Hellcats growling around...
Hi TheRacerbrown, Thank you for viewing and sharing you have a LeBaron Convertible you're enjoying too, Lou
The chrome, the grill and the hood ornament, the lines, decent MPG, easy to fix, and these were front wheel drive for the snow. These were always very unique; a working person's classic.
Don't let John Candy drive that thing . Not my cup of tea but , it has been kept nice . I can't criticize since I've never been in one . Thanks for posting .
Hi Bud, Thanks for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
John Candy has been dead for 25 years.
@@dvferyance Yes . Yes he has .
How about Jason Alexander?
Before anyone makes fun of cars with 'wood' paneling, please remind yourself that 50 million people on this continent live in houses covered with make-believe wood siding made of vinyl or aluminum. I would definitely choose the wood tribute for my car rather than my house. Mic drop!
Nice :-)
I agree! I do not like fake wood on houses and think it’s tacky, but virtually _every_ new house in America has it.
@@connorpusey5912 I just risked life and limb to paint the upper story of my wood clad house but it was worth it.
Thank you. I always wanted one of these. This era was a renaissance for Chrysler as they simultaneously represented the past and the then-current technology of its day.

Chrysler LeBaron Convertible 83 I have own here in Sweden about 2005-2008. Nice car and I love Convertibles, Lou.
Hi Olle Haggman, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) Lou
I really like this Lebaron, its a classic for sure. Love that it's one of those older "still in the box" ones... but it's out now n we get to enjoy seein it. Uncommon n very nice. Terrific car n vid! Thanks
Hi WickedFireFly13, Happy to read you enjoy this "still in the box" car that is uncommon for sure :-) Thank you, Lou
What a contrast ! While watching this, all I could think of was all the beautiful classics with their elegant lines and artful chrome bumpers, mouldings, and emblyms that you have showen. I've been in Autobody all my life, and owned and operated one most of it. Because of that, I can appreciate most any vehicle in it's original and pristine condition. I had a 86 convert like this one, except it wasn't the woody. I rebuilt it from wrightoff condition and used it for a courtesy car for a short while. first customer to use it put the top down without un zipping the back glass and blew it out. That was the last time I lent it out. It was a fun little car and when the turbo kicked in it had an impressive boost of power for that little engine
Koudos to Byron, for his beautiful and orignal condition LeBaron. (LeBaron LeByron, Hmmm)
Hi fedup, Thank you for viewing, sharing your knowledge, and glad to read you had a 86 Convertible too, Lou
The car that saved Chrysler, along with other cars built on the K platform.
Hi John Maccoy, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge, Lou
Matchless a classic car
:-)
I used to sell these cars anytime we get a LeBaron Woody in our inventory we call it lame duck they was the hard car to sell the last one I sold we had it in an inventory for almost 2 years
Not the prettiest car out there, I guess that's one of the reasons. But that interior looks so comfortable, feels like a living room in 4 wheels
Thanks for viewing and sharing your knowledge.
145 hp
0-60 8.2 sec
1/4 mile 16.4
Top speed 109 rev limited
Pretty decent for the time.
That was actually pretty darn good back in 1983 when a Fox Body 5.0l did 157hp and 0-60 7.8s
Faster then I would have thought.
Its just things like this that make this my favorite car show on youtube!
Thank you once sedated :-) Glad you're along for the ride, Lou
I always think of the movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
:-)
Planes , Trains and Automobiles!!!!!!
N I C E !
Or Seinfeld?
Lee lacocca and his wonderful K cars andthis one still in the crate. Lol. Cool little car thanks for sharing Lou
You're welcome Big Charlie's Model Garage :-)
Mr Lou I appreciate this my car story video. It was a part of late 80s Americana. You selected an interesting and unique vehicle from that era.
Hi Larry, Appreciate that you enjoy this unique find :-) Lou
Products like this make me proud of my country. I love my lebaron and I'm blessed to be an American

Awesome Lou《☆》Very Classy for a K car and nicely preserved🤓☻🤠
Hi BDOG JR, Happy to read you enjoy this "Classy" K :-) Lou
An interesting vehicle. The times have certainty changed, this car seemed to be the last of a dying breed in 1986, yet it had a turbo charged engine.
Hi cardo, Glad you found this car interesting. I did too, and based on the originality, a car to be shared, Lou
I remember the Town and Country Lou, one day particularly, three of them on a car carrier, heading to the Dealership in town. Very nice!
Hi Ed B, Happy to read this one brings back memories :-) Lou
Definitely a different type of car thanks for sharing Lou. Great video
Welcome to the mid 80's :-)
Just went back to check this one out Lou, I love your channel because you find the good ,bad and the ugly and no one else has the ball's to show them. let's not forget that without the k platform ( saved Chrysler) the Hellcat would not exist . Your Channel rocks ,Hi5 from down under.
Cheers Steve
Hi Steven Carboni, Happy to read you're enjoy the Channel with me, and having fun viewing the different car I share :-) Lou
Elegant looking car for its time. They don’t make em like that anymore!
Hi Joseph, Glad to read you see this car as "Elegant" :-) Lou
Have always loved these cars! I am hoping to bring my 84 Dodge 600ES Turbo vert to Carlisle next year.....Peppy lil cars!
Happy to read you appreciate this car :-)
Kept in the garage the whole time?
Heck, it's still in the box! (Old joke)
Well-kept, that's for certain.
:-)
the only thing that matters is this car like many others makes one person happy and that kick starts the stories we all have about life with cars.
Hi Douglas Holloran, Well said :-) Lou
Always look forward to your vids. Never know what surprise you'll come up with. Cute car for sure.
Glad to read you enjoy this "cute" car :-) Happy to Randall you enjoy the variety, Lou
Thank you for viewing and sharing.
I remember these in the Midwest. I always thought it was a pleasant & nice looking car. The ‘wood’ paneling never bothered me one bit. Maybe it’s because from the 1960’s - mid 1990’s many American station wagons had the proverbial ‘wood’ look. It was always a tribute to the actual ‘Woodies’ of yesteryear. I see nothing wrong or hokey with these. Nice find Lou!!
Hi Rusty, Happy to read you appreciate this car :-) Lou
Who else thinks Planes, Trains & Automobiles when they see this car?
Good one :-)
Yes there's that. Then there's Seinfeld's friend George Costanza!
Lou I was in Carlisle from Thursday till the last minute Sunday afternoon I don’t know how I didn’t see you I was not a vendor walking around the whole time
Hmmm. When you do see me make sure come up and say hello Michael Adamo :-)
I Certainly will
Are you going to the Mopar nationals in Ohio

Hi Robert boyer, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) Lou
A friend of mine had a Lebaron convertible like that one except that it wasn't a Town & Country model though. Don't underestimate those Chrysler turbos, they were very quick back in the day.

:-)
Looks similar to Jon Voight's car. 😊
Nice :-)
Nice 😀 I alway's like these 😀
Hi Michael Coffey, Happy to read this is one you always like :-) Lou
Those wood rails are actually screwed to the body panels so they are sort of "bolted" to the car.

Steve Martin and John Candy’s burned out rental car in Planes Trains and Automobiles. 😆😆😆

K Cars were akin to porn. Nobody aspired to them, but they were popularly consumed by default.
That's funny :-)
No! They were not akin to Porn you idiot
well Lou..am sure He is proud of His cars..deservedly so, but i will go look at other cars now..
:-)
Lou......i could tell you were struggling to get thru this one.....
That's funny :-)
*YOUR ENGINE OIL PRESSURE IS LOW! Engine damage may occur!* Chrysler Voice alert. Look it up if you don’t know what that is.
Thank you for that tip!
Was this a competitor for the Mercedes SL? Strange that Chrysler once made such an upscale car. Their brand has really lost a lot of cache.
Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge.
@@loucostabile thanks for always replying to comments on your videos. Keep up the great work reviewing interesting cars!
Bleh...a k car with fake wood.
Hi Milford Civic, Thank you for viewing and sharing. Clearly this one is not for you :-( Hope you see many more cars on this RUclips Channel you'll enjoy :-) Lou
Has to be one of the ugliest cars ever built, and lousy to drive.
Hi Paul, Clearly this one is not for you :-( Hope you see many more cars on this RUclips Channel you'll enjoy :-) Lou
Wasn't impressed at the Car Shows since it had the same steering wheel as the base Reliant while that wood trim dash looked so cheap I though it was a photo-copy of a picture of fake wood . It was billed as a Top-End model above the LeBaron .
They did looked nice and did draw the crowds because the colours I saw were White or a light Yellow with tan interiors .
Hi Gary wood, Thank you for sharing your thoughts :-) Lou
