Year to Year Changes
1991 Dodge Shadow:
Something surprising arrived for 1991: a Shadow convertible. Entry-level "America" editions also joined the lineup. By now, Shadow and Sundance were Chrysler Corporation's least expensive domestic cars, thus adopting the stripped-down America designation. Shadow Americas came in both 2- and 4-door hatchback body styles, but only with the 2.2-liter engine. Standard models, now called Highline, came with either normally aspirated engine. The Shadow ES, now listed as a separate model, had a sport suspension and could also get turbo power instead of the standard 2.5-liter four. Converted by American Sunroof Company, convertibles came in both Highline and ES trim, with a manual folding top and plastic rear window.
1992 Dodge Shadow:
During 1992, a Mitsubishi-built V6 engine replaced the turbo four as an option. Otherwise, changes were mainly in appearance.
1993 Dodge Shadow:
Antilock brakes joined the option list for all models, as Shadows got a modified lineup. This year's lowest-priced model was simply called the base Shadow. As before, ES was the upscale edition, with a standard 2.5-liter engine rather than the base 2.2-liter. Base models might have the 2.5-liter as an option.
1994 Dodge Shadow:
To meet federal requirements for passive restraints, Shadows got motorized shoulder belts for front occupants. Air conditioners adopted CFC-free refrigerant.
