The Alphabet Soup of Designations

[Brad Hogg <roadhogg@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for clearing that up Bill!  I know the Imperial and Fifth Avenue have
a longer wheelbase than the Dynasty etc but does anyone know if the
wheelbase of the Fifth Avenue is the same as that of the Imperial for
1990-1993?

The 1990-93 Imperials were Y bodies.  The Dynasty/New Yorker was the C body,
while the longer wheelbase Fifth Avenue and Imperial were Y bodies.

Check your VIN - car make (2nd digit) is C while the car body (5th digit) is
Y.    If the 6th digit is a "5', you have a Fifth Avenue.  The Imperial is
"6".
