IML: Dash mounted turn signal switch revived in '90 on the LeBaron

["twolaneblacktop" <twolaneblacktop@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The dash mounted turn signal switch returned again in 1990 on the Chrysler LeBaron.  It stayed till the end of that body style run in '95.  It was replaced by the Sebring in '96.

In '61 the Imperial once again had a regular turn signal lever. This lever was used also in '62 & '63. It is somewhat flimsy, and is often broken off, usually due to being bashed by a knee upon entering the vehicle. Tell your mechanics to BE CAREFUL!

 

The dash mounted signal activator was not universally liked, and often drew crticism in road test reports. I believe that this began in 1957, with a rocker switch below the transmission push buttons, and continued in various forms through 1960.
