Chryslers starting in 1979, it did not become its
own model line until 1983. Production ended on this
line in 1993. |

| Starting
in 1983, the Fifth Avenue became its own model line
built on the M body platform. The first generation
was a rear wheel drive vehicle, making it the last
Chrysler to have rear wheel drive until the 300
series was restarted in 2005. These first gen. Fifth
Avenues were powered by a 5.2 L V8 engine with a
Torqueflite automatic transmission. The engine was
downsized to a 3.3 L or optional 3.8 L V6 with the
second generations, which were actually a part of
the New Yorker model line. They kept the original
feel of the interior, which included heavily padded
seats that felt like fluffy couch cushions. The
second gen. was replaced by the Concorde and the
remodeled New Yorker in 1994. If you are looking
to buy a used Fifth Avenue you can always try your
luck on eBay, where they sell for $500 to $2,000,
if you can find one listed. You can also usually
find parts listed there for a lot less than auto
supply stores. |
