This meticulously cared-for, garage kept 1989 LeBaron Convertible represents the third of its kind to find a home in the owner's cherished garage. The moment he came across the listing boasting a mere 25,000 miles on the odometer, curiosity got the better of him, and he had to see it for himself. With a CarFax report confirming the owner's account, the allure of this automotive gem only intensified. A labor of love ensued as he invested several thousand dollars into the vehicle, diligently replacing aged components to ensure its roadworthiness and safety. Every effort was made to bring this classic beauty back to life and have it ready for the open road. However, life took an unexpected turn when his trusted mechanic relocated, leaving him with unfinished tasks. Now, with a heavy heart, the owner faces the difficult decision to part with this LeBaron, in the hopes of finding a new caretaker who can carry on the work required to bring it to its full potential. This LeBaron Convertible represents not just a car, but a piece of automotive history, and the owner is eager to see it find its rightful place with someone who can appreciate and complete the few remaining tasks it needs.
The LeBaron badge appeared as early as 1931 on a series of cars by prolific American automaker Chrysler. LeBaron was a coachbuilder, and as was common practice in the early days of the automobile, coachbuilders would make the bodies for many manufacturers while they concentrated on the mechanicals and running gear. Later on, the LeBaron nameplate would be seen in the mid-sized, as well as personal luxury car segments as a proper Chrysler product. This particular 1989 Chrysler LeBaron Convertible is a 25,000-mile example of Chrysler's personal luxury car that's reportedly undergone some recent maintenance to keep it going strong. If you've been intrigued by these machines, read on to discover what they bring.
This 1989 Chrysler LeBaron Convertible sports a white paint job and a matching white convertible top. The current owner tells us that the convertible top motor was not working properly and needs to be replaced to ensure that it smoothly powers up and down, and for now he opens the top manually, the rear window motors also need to be replaced. The car is also said to ride on very good tires, so you needn't worry about aging rubber for now. Next, we must draw your attention to the headlamps because one of this generation's party tricks is the motorized covers for the car's dual headlamps. Painted in body color, they create a seamless and distinctive look when viewing this car face-on. Upon climbing aboard, you'll be greeted by a four-seat leather-trimmed cabin in a shade of red, better known as burgundy. We say four-seat, but in reality, this 1989 Chrysler LeBaron Convertible is best used as a 2+2, with the rear seats occasionally used to transport kids or smaller adults or as added luggage space. That's because the trunk is a tad small due to the motorized convertible top's stowage space and mechanism. Getting back to the cabin, the current owner has bought the conversion kit, so the air conditioner can be charged. We also see a classic-look stereo radio cassette player, and the current owner reports the 4 speaker stereo radio has bluetooth capability. We're also informed that the speedometer has been diagnosed, all cables and sensors seem to be in working order and all the speedometer needs to be recalibrated.
This 1989 Chrysler LeBaron Convertible comes with a 2.5L fuel-injected in-line 4-cylinder engine under the hood, making approximately 100 hp and 136lb-ft when new. An automatic transmission sends drive to the front wheels. The current owner reports that the car has received a new timing belt kit, water pump, radiator, front strut assembly, tie rods, rear shocks, radiator, front brake caliper hoses, and more. The engine's oil is said to have been recently changed as well.

With a name such as Imperial, it must be a top-level car, correct? Absolutely correct, as the Imperial was Chrysler's highest offering for much of its existence. This existence can be traced back to 1926, sporadically appearing until 1993. Meanwhile, the Imperial became a stand-alone sub-brand of Chrysler between 1955 and 1983, which is the time when this 1965 Chrysler Imperial Crown Sedan was born in Detroit. This reportedly garage-kept vehicle appears in mostly good condition, and is said to have received a recent oil change. If you choose to buy it, you'll get an excellent classic car that you can also use as a learning tool since there are some areas that need minor attention. It could even be a project to undertake with your children!
The Chrysler Saratoga, with its name inspired by the famed Saratoga Springs, has been a recurring presence in Chrysler's lineup since its introduction in 1949. This 1951 model, hailing from the nameplate's third iteration, showcases the timeless appeal of the Saratoga as either a sedan or coupe. The featured sedan variant, boasting just under 51,000 miles, has benefited from numerous new parts, ensuring its classic charm is matched by reliable performance.
The Imperial nameplate was used by Chrysler over nearly seven decades to denote their top-of-the-line offering. Competing in the full-size luxury car segment, there have been many iterations of the Imperial, right up until 1993, when the nameplate was retired. Between 1955 and 1983, Imperial was indeed spun off as a separate sub-brand of Chrysler. A revival was mooted in 2006 but never materialized as a production variant. You rarely see an Imperial come up for sale, which is why you should act fast and grab this 1967 Chrysler Imperial Crown if it strikes your fancy. This car is said to have received a recent tune-up to keep it running like clockwork.
The Ford Thunderbird was America's first personal luxury car. Inspired by the Grand Tourers of Europe, the personal luxury car was meant to be a two-seat coupe or convertible with a large V8 engine, ample luggage space, and the best luxury refinements of the era. As time passed by, the segment (including the Thunderbird) would gain a rear seat to appeal to a wider segment of buyers. Ten generations of Thunderbird were made between 1955 and 1997. In 2002, Ford debuted an eleventh generation as a homage to the original. Living for just four model years, less than 70,000 were produced. Widely regarded as a curio, these cars are becoming desirable today. So, you'd best snap up this 2004 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe Convertible before it becomes hot property - and that time is near, friends. This car has under 48,000 miles on it, and has received some maintenance as well.
Mercedes-Benz and its lineup of SLs have always been and will be iconic; the automotive marque's pinnacle open-top grand tourer has been the car to have for eons when you want to experience authentic open-top motoring. The 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL represents the marque's most popular model; this neat example is reported to have just 90,850 miles on the clock and is a true motoring icon.
Ford's Thunderbird nameplate would run from 1954 to 1997 across ten generations. It defined what the Personal Luxury Car would be to Americans, akin to Europe's Grand Tourers. In 2002, Ford decided to do a retro-modern homage to the original, and the eleventh generation was born, with a short production run of just three years. Just 68,000 were sold, which was considered lackluster at the time. However, that also makes this 2003 Ford Thunderbird Convertible a desirable future classic, and the 40,900-mile odometer reading only increases its allure.
