1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue review from North America
"A very comfortable smooth riding car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the fuel pump.
Replaced the pressure hose of the power steering system.
General comments?
This is a very comfortable car with its smooth ride and cloth pillow seats, which have no rips. There is nothing like the comfort of a full size American built car!
The engine delivers decent performance considering the small factory two-barrel carburetor. When you really hit the gas it shows its true v-8 heritage, kicking down the transmission and shooting forward nicely.
All the windows and air conditioning work very well, and the vinyl landau top is in great shape.
The paint is shedding its clear coat, so I would like to re-paint sometime.
Handling is great and the car is very solidly built.
