Chrysler LH platform

The LH platform was Chrysler's second-most well-known automobile platform after the Chrysler K platform of the 1980s. The platform was based loosely on the Eagle Premier, and replaced the K-based C cars. The LH cars debuted in 1993, and were updated in 1998. The LH platform was replaced with the rear wheel drive Chrysler LX platform for 2004.

Chrysler advertised the advantages of the LH's "cab-forward" architecture (short sloping hood and long windshield), and even used the platform name for the Chrysler LHS sedan.

A rumour at the time was that LH stood for 'Last Hope'. This was because Chrysler faced an uncertain future that its engineers were allowed to do what they felt was innovative. The LH vehicles were, generally, a great success for Chrysler and the "cab-forward" look influenced other car designs in the 1990s.
