1978 Chrysler LeBaron Town and Country wagon review from North America
"Luxury, but at a price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electrical issues.. power windows failed three times in two years, and the lean burn electronic system was a nightmare.
General comments?
Was a poor college student when I picked this car up cheap from family friends. It could climb a wall as far as power was concerned, and the comfort of the ride with those Corinthian leather seats was great.
Of course this was a used car with high mileage, so you are going to expect issues with it, but the electrical system was definitely a problem area on this car, and the previous original owner had experienced them also.
