1985 Chrysler Fifth Avenue review from North America
"Even though it's a real fixer-upper, I'd love to do the work and enjoy it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The interior cloth on the top of the roof is missing.
The seats got wet because the back windshield was broken and it takes forever to clean.
The steering wheel moves a lot which I don't like.
There is a lot of work that needs to be done on the engine.
Sometimes, the left blinker works. Only when it wants to.
The windshield wipers don't work.
The whole radioator system needs to be replaced.
The brake sticks.
It takes a lot to turn the car in the direction you want it to go.
When driving it just down the road, there is a burning smell coming from under the hood.
General comments?
The seats are velvour which I think is great.
It gets up to speed really fast.
It's mainly comfortable. I really like it.
