Chrysler LeBaron: green or blue
The Chrysler LeBaron, also known as the Imperial LeBaron, is a line of automobiles built by Chrysler from 1931 to 1941 and from 1955 to 1995. The model was introduced in 1931, with a body manufactured by LeBaron, and competed with other luxury cars of the era such as Lincoln and Packard.
After purchasing LeBaron with its parent Briggs Manufacturing Company, Chrysler introduced the luxury make Imperial in 1955, and sold automobiles under the name Imperial LeBaron until 1975. Chrysler discontinued the Imperial brand in 1975, and reintroduced the Chrysler LeBaron in 1977 to what was then Chrysler’s lowest priced model.
The “LeBaron” name has since been applied to five different cars built by the Chrysler Division:
1977–1981 M-body Mid-size LeBaron sedan, coupe, and wagon
1982–1988 K-body Mid-size LeBaron sedan, coupe, convertible, and wagon
1985–1989 H-body Mid-size LeBaron GTS hatchback
1987–1995 J-body Personal luxury LeBaron coupe and convertible
1990–1994 AA-body Mid-size LeBaron sedan
The last Chrysler LeBaron was produced in 1995, to be replaced with the Cirrus and Sebring. The LeBaron was one of Chrysler’s longest running brands.
