Dear Bill,

I think I must be misreading you.  Are you saying the Fifth Avenue was 
not introduced until 1990???

I could swear the Fifth Avenue was introduced in 1983, give or take a 
year or two.  I know my mother had a 1989 model, and I'm sure I've seen 
1985 models up for sale.  Can you clarify what you meant by this 
comment?

Thanks, Mark
