1990-1995 Chrysler LeBaron Coupe/Convertible Review
Back in 1987, Chrysler's LeBaron coupe and convertible changed radically--and the new shape was destined to stick around through 1995. By the '90s, LeBaron was the country's top-selling convertible. Only 4-cylinder engines were available in early seasons, both turbocharged and naturally aspirated. LeBarons added a Mitsubishi-built V6 option for 1990. A 4-speed automatic was offered, too. Coupes and convertibles came in Highline or Premium trim, along with sportier GT and GTC variants. Also for '90, the performance-oriented GTC gained an optional electronic variable-damped suspension, which allowed the driver to alter shock absorber damping. At the same time, variable-nozzle technology gave the GTC's 2.2-liter Turbo IV engine quicker response. Ever since 1989, LeBarons have had a standard driver-side airbag.
Year to Year Changes
1991 Chrysler LeBaron Coupe/Convertible: For 1991, the LeBaron GTC got the 3.0-liter V6, and a 152-horsepower 2.5-liter turbo became optional. The GT was dropped, but GTC specifications were similar. The former "performance" suspension was downgraded to "sport," and 4-wheel disc brakes became an option.
1992 Chrysler LeBaron Coupe/Convertible: Antilock braking became available for '92, including rear disc brakes instead of the usual drums. Convertibles also got standard rear shoulder belts.
1993 Chrysler LeBaron Coupe/Convertible: Facelifting for '93 included exposed headlamps and a new grille, plus combination red/amber taillamps. Turbo engines departed, leaving only the base 4-cylinder and the V6.
1994 Chrysler LeBaron Coupe/Convertible: Only a GTC convertible returned for 1994, with a V6 engine and dual airbags--plus a "one-price" sales strategy. Base and LX versions bit the dust. Coupes were gone for good, too, ready for replacement by the new-for-1995 Sebring.
1995 Chrysler LeBaron Coupe/Convertible: For its final season, the GTC convertible continued as the only LeBaron model. A year later, a Chrysler Sebring would serve as its open-topped successor.
