Chrysler Fifth Avenue was great ride just like 2 my Buick Lesabre wonderful ride 3800 engine best. In 80's if had buy new Chrysler Fifth Avenue in a heart beat. Great video keep up good work thanks again show vehicles past 😊😊😊😊😊😊.
I see this model has the stereo factory upgrade. I love that equalizer. I just bought one of these a few years ago with 21k miles on it. Original paint job. It looks brand new and belongs in a museum, not my garage. But it's the only car I own. It was my daily driver while I lived down in the Appalachian Mountains doing journalism. Got quite the looks pulling up in this thing. Put 10,000 miles on it working in the news business, and I felt and loved every mile of it. I collected and made my own cassette tapes, cruised the mountains, drove it at top speed riding down the gorge with a biker escort, showed up to get interviews, showed up to crime scenes in it. This is a car for people who want a comfortable car, and a good looking car, that was Chrysler's most expensive undertaking up to that point. it's basically like showing up in a suit. You get out of it kind of sorry that the ride is over, and excited to come back to it after the function. If day turns to night, it warmly welcomes you in how the opera lighting would hit the velour. It was actually too conspicuous in such a small town. With a flashy two-tone paintjob, I became known as the writer in the big car. I live in the city now, and I garaged it again. I can't wait to take a vacation though, and just get back in my Chrysler and drive. Everything still works. The car is a treasure.
I'm trying so hard to find a chrome front radio/cassette tape player for my 1987 chrysler 5th Ave. I've been looking for over a year now. I know this is a different way to find one, I could use some help. I live in Hamilton, Ont. I've even tried to buy a scrap car, no luck. A cple years ago I spent $20,000. to have it restord, it's now insured for $27,700. So I'm desperate to find one. Distance away, not necessarily important. I you have any info it would be so greatly appreciated. If possible could you reply. Thnx Linda
When this car was first introduced, it was a New Yorker with "Fifth Avenue Edition" badge on the rear door. Later, when the New Yorker name was applied to the front wheel drive "k car," Chrysler renamed the "m body" the Fifth Avenue. Interesting (or amusing) that the badge was unchanged on the door, that it was a "Fifth Avenue Edition" of a Fifth Avenue! 😂
Had one almost identical to this one. Same year and color. The only differences were mine had leather seats and a different radio. It also didn't have the red pinstripes
I have a 82 Chrysler Fifth Avenue fully loaded sunroof 2 unrestored I take it to car shows only old people know what they're looking at white with a burgundy leather interior

These cars literally lived up to the title of “island of luxury!”
Wanna sell it?
This car I was very impressed with. Wonderful ride and quite beautiful on a set of wide white walls.

This is not a body on frame architecture, it's a unibody
I screwed up on that part by mistake
