An era when Car Manufacturers offered Interior Colors, other than Gray and Black, with matching dashes, steering wheels, etc. Gorgeous car!

It was mostly because of Chrysler's poor financial shape at the time. Quality control was also an issue, and also GM had a two year head start on their hugely successful downsized big cars.

This might be the most elegant car ecer made by man. Me and my dad were dedicated to buying a rust free classic car and this model happened to be the perfect find. Ours is a 79 new yorker 5th avenue edition, also with the 360 with a 2 barrel carb. Someday, I'd like to change it to a stock 4 barrel that was optional for it back in 79. Brings the hp to almost 200 which is very solid for a car that's actually pretty light for 70s cars.

When he said people bought them and then threw them away he's not exaggerating. I think the last time I saw one that was mint was around 1985-1988. If I saw one in 1989 on the road it was typically in junk condition ready for the crusher at any moment.

I heard good reviews and bad ones as well. My Father factory ordered a 1980 Fifth Avenue. It never fell apart on him. The only issues were starter motors; it seems once a year; a rebuilt starter was installed. Perhaps if he had a new starter installed, the problem would be gone!

Like a Cadillac? Absolutely not! I've owned both from 1979 and the Chrysler was quite a bit better driving car. The seats were also more comfortable and it easily out-handled the Cadillac. It wasn't built to as high quality standards as the Cadillac but still very good for the day. The A/C was also superior in the Chrysler, Much colder and more effective faster and more adjustable controls. The 1980 Chrysler I also owned handled even better, it had the Open Road handling package.

Yep, really. The later units were far better and more reliable than the first type and made the spark pugs last 50,000 miles with no issues. I've owned 6 Chryslers with "Lean Burn" and only the 1976 and early 1977 gave me any troubles. Those were replaced with later current factory units from the dealer and never gave any more issues.

@@antiangelofmusic You are confusing the "Electronic Spark Control" with "Electronic Fuel Injection". The EFI was exclusive to the Imperial, but apparently was so problematic that Chrysler offered a carburetor conversion kit as a remedy. As I understand it, that conversion involved replacing the entire fuel system (including the gas tank) and the instrument cluster.
