Vehicle Description
1982 CHRYSLER LEBARON
Before World War II, LeBaron was one the greatest of all the
pre-war coach builders. Their stylish bodies adorned such makes as
Packard, Duesenberg, Rolls-Royce, and Hispano-Suiza. In the 1920's
LeBaron became a part of the larger Briggs Manufacturing
Company.
In 1953 Briggs was bought by Chrysler. Along with Briggs
manufacturing ability, Chrysler obtained the rights to use the
LeBaron trade mark. While the market for coach built automobiles
essentially ended with World War II, the name LeBaron still had
cache. For over forty years, LeBaron was used to designate
Chrysler's premium models.
What we are offering is a very smart looking 1982 LeBaron
convertible. Based on the K-car platform (the platform that saved
Chrysler the first time) this was the first convertible offered by
Detroit since 1976.
This LeBaron two-door drop-top is loaded. It has power steering,
power top, A/C, power brakes and wire wheel hub caps. Powered by
Chrysler's unbreakable 2.2 liter in- line 4 mated to a 3-speed
automatic. It is painted red with a matching red interior white
canvas top. All this with only 23,831 original miles.
Estimate: $8,000-$12,500
