Fifth Avenue

The Chrysler Fifth Avenue was a trim level/option package or model name used by Chrysler for its larger sedans from 1979 to 1993. The Fifth Avenue name was no longer used after 1993 when Chrysler introduced its new LH-platform New Yorker and similar LHS. The title "Fifth Avenue" references a street in New York City in the United States which contains many upscale shops and cultural attractions. The Chrysler Building is two blocks southwest of Fifth Avenue.

The Fifth Avenue trim package was introduced shortly after the Imperial coupes, sedans and convertibles, which was introduced as a separate marque in 1955, was discontinued leaving the Chrysler New Yorker as the top level malaise era sedan. Realizing that they needed to offer a comparable luxury sedan to the Cadillac Fleetwood and Lincoln Town Car, the Fifth Avenue was offered as an option to the New Yorker from 1990-1993.

When the Fifth Avenue ended production it was replaced by the Chrysler LHS as the company's premium top level sedan.
