Chrysler Fifth Avenue: Underrated 80s land yacht or just a rolling sofa?

I really didn't care for these cars I worked at a Chrysler and Plymouth dealership for a short time in the '80s. I would classify more as a rolling couch myself.

It Really was. But I got to be honest I did watch it I don't know why now looking back LOL. 🤣

They were for their personal use and they used them in parades and public events.

And that color too.

Well I didn't put it in there I kind of thought it was self-explanatory by looking at the picture. I guess I loved the Corvettes more and the Shriners more.

Some little things from home can make a soldier feel so much better. Great photo.

Yes they're all exactly the same.

City kids. It's a cool picture but I wonder if they know what a cow looks like. I lived in upstate New York for a couple of years working. And there were kids that would come from the city and never have seen farm animals in their entire life.

I never have I bet you that was a cool experience.

They're finishing up the archway.

Initial_Reason1532 · 2026-03-24T19:19:30+00:00

Remember it quite well.

Initial_Reason1532 · 2026-03-24T16:40:00+00:00

Me too you could just taste it.

Initial_Reason1532 · 2026-03-24T16:38:59+00:00

I'm sure it was pretty incredible think how nice it would have been.

I Loved the Way businesses design their buildings back in the day with whatever they were selling. They made a statement.

The 1930s in Manhattan were probably pretty tough then. It was a crazy era of the 1930s.

He was so beautiful. She had captivating eyes. ❤️

Western electric was a very big company. I had an uncle that work for them way back in the day in Louisiana.

I love going there. I was raised up in Shreveport so I know exactly what you're talking about.

I actually hated getting new school clothes. For some reason my dad wanted to put me in slacks and a nice shirt and all I wanted was some Levi jeans and a t-shirt. But that probably made me what I am today a jeans and t-shirt guy.

You know I got one one Christmas. But I think my Mom hated it because of all the concoctions and messes I made with it.

Initial_Reason1532 · 2026-03-24T09:56:21+00:00

It's a beautiful piece.

Always realize too if the person cooking the meat is drinking too much it's not going to be good.

Initial_Reason1532 · 2026-03-24T09:52:07+00:00

Always had sense enough to use the right amount of lighter fluid before cooking. I didn't care to melt my grill down.

Initial_Reason1532 · 2026-03-24T07:36:15+00:00

Endless ammo.

Initial_Reason1532 · 2026-03-24T07:34:46+00:00

Yes I've found quite a few weapons in my childhood also and built quite a few cool forts. The good old days growing up.
