FactThe Fifth Avenue and its M-body twins were the last V8, rear-drive Chryslers until the 300 revived the layout for 2005.
The rear-wheel-drive Chrysler Fifth Avenue, first sold as the New Yorker Fifth Avenue, was built from 1982 to 1989 on the M-body shared with the Dodge Diplomat and Plymouth Gran Fury, at Windsor, St. Louis and finally Kenosha. It used a 3.7 litre Slant Six or a 5.2 litre (318 cu in) V8 with three-speed automatics.

The front-drive Fifth Avenue's vinyl roof ran onto the rear doors, faking a fixed quarter window to make the long body look shorter.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
