Street Machines is proud to present this astonishing 1982 Chrysler LeBaron Mark Cross edition convertible. The introduction of Chrysler's 1982 K-car lineup saved the automaker from bankruptcy. This example is the top-optioned offering for 1982, displaying its original paint, special leather interior, and number's matching drivetrain. This car has always been garage-kept and is in excellent condition. A 2-owner car, this 1st edition 1982 Chrysler Medallion Lebaron Mark Cross Convertible was garaged and Sunday driven by its first owner until 2010 at 25,000 miles. The 2nd owner put just over 5,000 miles on the car until our acquisition. This simply has to be one of the best original K cars in existence today, from the leather to the mechanicals and paint, outstanding car. Few of these cars remain in this kind of condition. I have no idea how many are surviving. You could order this 1st year special convertible in either Mahogany Metallic or this, the Pearl White. Enjoy our presentation and feel free to email or phone with any questions. View our 100% positive customer feedback and bid with 100% confidence. This up and coming collector car is over 32 years old and an official antique.
The exterior showcases all original body panels and paint, down to the original pinstripe down both sides of the car.
The two optional wheels available on the 1982 Chrysler were a decorate wire wheel cover and these full alloy wheels. The tires were recently replaced with new Goodyear Insignia whitewall radials all around. This is a turn-key car with all working amenities. It is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition.
Open the doors to luxury.
The interior displays showroom fresh and original leather interior. Everything is original in the interior down to the plush carpeting.
The Mark Cross leather upholstery is in excellent condition, very well cared for and it shows. Absolutely Gorgeous saddle leather, with extremely rare 1982 Mark Cross Chrysler factory promotional items.
The dash displays all original gauges and woodgrain trim. The instruments are functional throughout. The dash pad is as new. The speedometer lense face is excellent, the original mileage on display. The air conditioning has been recently serviced with a new line installed. It blows cold on all speeds and the heat blows hot air.
Chrysler's optional stereo system also functions as it should, providing the symphonic experience. The power antenna is also functioning as it should. We also have an un-opened original Sounds of Chrysler cassette that came with this optional stereo for 1982.
Chrysler was very proud of their new small K car platform with front wheel drive and excellent fuel economy characteristics.
Under the hood is the top-optioned for 1982 2.6 liter Mitsubishi-derived in-line 4-cylinder engine. The engine compartment is very clean, original, and detailed. The original decals and markings are intact throughout the engine. The firewall, inner fenders, and core support are excellent. This is a corrosion-free example and it shows.
The engine itself runs smoothly and is fast to start. The transmission shifts correctly and the brakes stop straight. There are no check lights or otherwise faulty illuminations to be found. We are proud of this little LeBaron. The convertible top boot is original and in excellent condition as is the original convertible top, inside and out. The plastic rear window is also clear. The paint has never been repaired or worked. It is original throughout and in remarkable condition. There are a few tiny chip touch-ups and imperfections in the paint along with some nicks in the original pinstripe. You really have to look hard for any flaws in this amazing car. It is corrosion-free underneath with factory undercoating and all original flooring and sheetmetal throughout.
The white convertible top is original, power-operated and in excellent condition.
Underneath the car, you'll find excellent original flooring throughout, never altered or repaired in any way. The suspension components are original and excellent. This car has never been involved in any kind of collision or experienced rust damage, unlike so many K cars. I wonder how many of these cars are left today?
The trunk is excellent, displaying all original carpeting, spare tire/wheel and jacking equipment.
Note the Chrysler-offered Mark Cross umbrella, also in excellent condition, never used along with the leather-bound notebook and factory documents. This car has the original owner's manual and dealer brochure as well. This gold-plated metal plaque is a vintage original piece offered by Chrysler dealers in 1982 to personalize your Mark Cross edition convertible. It is a rare find and is left blank for inscription of your choice. The adhesive backing is still in place, never removed or installed in any way.
Chysler's famed pentastar hood ornament is in excellent condition, as is the exterior brightwork (chrome) throughout this car. Cartier supplied the special jeweled hood ornament for Chrysler, the perfect compliment to the high-end Mark Cross leather interior. Mark Cross was established in 1845 and is still in business today, selling high-end leather goods.

Since I'm supposed to know something about cars, it happens all the time: friends and relatives ask me advice about what kind of vehicle they should get. Very often, the only type of vehicle that can check every item on their wish list (e.g., hauls lots of people and stuff, gets good fuel economy, has great crash-test ratings, can take four Great Danes camping, and so on) is a modern minivan... and, of course, nobody wants to hear this. I'm not a minivan person, they will wail, and so they end up with a cramped, fuel-swilling SUV or a not-so-space-efficient minivan-in-disguise CUV. So, is it worth becoming one of those minivan people in order to get the incredible usefulness of these masterpieces of vehicle engineering, or do you hold your head high and drive something that doesn't quite meet your needs?

LORDSTOWN, Ohio - Wall Street is fretting that the auto industry is heading for a downturn, but for thousands of workers at General Motors factories in the United States, the hard times are already here. Matt Streb, 36, was one of 1,200 workers laid off on Jan. 20 - inauguration day for President Donald Trump - when GM canceled the third shift at its Lordstown small-car factory here. Sales of the Chevrolet Cruze sedan, the only vehicle the plant makes, have nosedived as consumers switch to SUVs and pickup trucks. Streb is looking for another job, but employers are wary because they assume he will quit whenever GM calls him back. "I get it," said Streb, who has a degree in communications, "but it's frustrating." Layoffs at Lordstown and other auto plants point to a broader challenge for the economy in Midwestern manufacturing states and for the Trump administration. "This is about economics, not what Trump says. Even if Trump went out and bought 10,000 Cruzes a month, he wouldn't get the third shift back here." The auto industry's boom from 2010 through last year was a major driver for manufacturing job creation. The fading of that boom threatens prospects for US industrial output and job creation that were central to Trump's victory in Ohio and other manufacturing states. "This is about economics, not what Trump says," said Robert Morales, president of United Auto Workers (UAW) union Local 1714, which represents workers at GM's stamping plant at Lordstown. "Even if Trump went out and bought 10,000 Cruzes a month, he wouldn't get the third shift back here." Last week the Federal Reserve said factory output fell 0.4 percent in May, the second decline in three months, due partly to a 2 percent drop in motor vehicles and parts production. Mark Muro, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, has compiled data from government sources that show the auto industry punching higher than its weight in job creation in recent years - accounting for between 60 percent and 80 percent of all US manufacturing jobs added in 2015 and 2016. In the first quarter of this year, the auto industry accounted for less than 2 percent of the 45,000 manufacturing jobs created. "There's no argument with the idea that auto has been pulling the manufacturing sled up the mountain for the last three or four years," Muro said.
This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge. Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.
