Re: IML: Imperial & New Yorker of late 80's and '90-'93

[Brad Hogg <luxoliner@xxxxxxx>]

It may be splitting hairs but I don't think this is correct.  There were a 
number of years in the 80s that there was a RWD 5th Ave as well as a FWD New 
Yorker.  Yes, early on there was the same car, a RWD New Yorker 5th Ave but 
this didn't continue when the New Yorker became FWD.

Actually, the 'M' body (Diplomat/Gran Fury/Fifth
Avenue) lasted from '82-'89, the FWD 'C' body
(Dynasty/New Yorker) appeared in '88 and then was
stretched in '90 for the 'Y' body (Fifth
Avenue/Imperial).

During the 80s the Fifth Avenue was an 'M' body (RWD -
derived from the '77-'81 LeBaron) while the New Yorker
was an 'E' class (variation of the FWD LeBaron that
appeared in '82)

NOTE: No matter what year/body/drivetrain layout the
Fifth Avenue is actually referred to as New Yorker
Fifth Avenue

I also view my LHS as a Fifth Avenue with the wrong
name as the Fifth Avenue was just a notch above New
Yorker --- but that's another discussion
