The Chrysler Fifth Avenue began as a submodel of the New Yorker in 1979, after the nameplate was shifted to the formerly mid-size Dodge Coronet platform, but with a new squared-off body. In 1982 the New Yorker (and Fifth Avenue trim lime) moved to the LeBaron's M body. In 1983 the New Yorker moved to a front wheel drive platform, the beginning of the extended-K-car years. The Fifth Avenue continued as an M body, rejoining the New Yorker in 1990 (although the Fifth Ave was on a stretched body)
