Vehicle Description
1985 Chrysler Fifth Avenue
Fifth Avenue is a major thoroughfare in the borough of Manhattan in
New York City. It stretches north from Washington Square Park in
Greenwich Village to West 143rd Street in Harlem. It is considered
one of the most expensive and elegant streets in the world.
The Fifth Avenue NY namesake here at Classic Auto Mall all in its
38,905 original mile form, presenting not unlike the famous street,
with Corinthian Leather, opera lighting, and tufted and pillowed
seats. Plenty of power and convenience options for this M body car
in nicely preserved condition, and you will be stylin' in mid '80's
fashion. Dressed up like a million dollar trooper, trying hard to
look like Gary Cooper...super duper!
Exterior
This square and rectangle mid 1980's design is in its original
resplendent form, with original paint, in white with the padded
faux leather vinyl landau top and large centered chromed audacious
grille. Even down to the "crystal" Pentastar hood topper, and
knitted wire wheels all chromed and nice, this is all original.
Like a debutante ready to descend the spiral staircase somewhere on
millionaires row, this Chrysler drips with high hats and arrow
collars, white spats and lots of dollars...throw me my walking
stick please.
Interior
Allowing the chauffeur to open the door, we see plenty of red
padded stitched vinyl with crotch and burl wood applique framing
lots of power buttons. Thick pile carpet is on the lower doors and
is shag-alicious. Turning our attention to the passenger
compartment, I'm ready to light my cigar in my study and sit down
and thoroughly enjoy it in my tufted and buttoned Rich Corinthian
leather red oversized power buckets. (Yes Tattoo) A pillowy red
center armrest allows me to show some swagger and do the "gangsta"
lean. I could slide into the rear bench with more tufting and
buttons, and let the butler drive, but I want to experience the
sheer exhilaration of this wonderful preserved example. The dash is
all original with more walnut crotch applique, and offers up a
dizzying array of gauges, warning lights, and knobs and buttons. A
digital radio and climate controls are also within my reach.
Pristine red carpet and a nice headliner are above and below. I'll
finish my cigar, and we shall move to the drivetrain...why don't we
go where fashion sits?
Drivetrain
All spit shined and nice, no corrosion, supple rubber hoses, and
nearly showroom under the hood. This car specs as the original
318ci V8, has a 2-barrel carburetor to spoon feed it and a 904
3-speed automatic transmission on back. The 8-1/4-inch rear is on
the way back.
Undercarriage
A bit of surface rust on the usual suspects however structurally
sound with nice floorpans and some undercoating protecting
everything. All original equipment under here.
Drive-Ability
This car started immediately, and ran like a champ, with smooth
acceleration a-plenty, and nice cornering, I would never know we
were in another gas crisis, nor would I care because I'm rolling in
a tasty skate, my Fifth Avenue. (Let them eat cake)
Fantastically preserved, low mileage, Rich Corinthian Leather, time
piece from when Lee Iacocca was in his heyday. All straight steel,
a few chips in the paint, but shiny and nice. A very clean
car...turn the key, and you will be puttin' on the ritz.
