Dat Chrysler 300! I don’t think I’ve seen one in months. Maybe years.

Your Camry is good. The other Camry is bad. Seriously though: 89-91 is Toyota’s Golden Age.

That’s an LHS. My elderly neighbor had one similar   (or maybe it was a Concorde) in the early 2000s, though his was purple.

With the belt buckle badge, it’s a 91.

Funny that a car can be styled to not be pseudo-aggressive.

I WISH I could say that... we still have an infestation of LHs and Clo wn ud cars. You would not believe the number of pristine LH convertibles.

My mistake...but that is the same Intrepid/Concorde that took the first 300C name, right? Either way, anything from the Iacocca Cab Forward era is a unicorn down South.

It may just well be my favorite Toyota era. Especially this rebadged Sprinter!

You mean 300M, but yes. T he actual platform name is LH (so yes, LHS really just means ‘LH Sedan’. Don’t let anyone tell you different.) I worked on a lot of these pieces of shit. I mean don’t get me wrong, a longitudinal FWD with equal length axles? Great fucking idea. Just absolutely brilliant. So many of the interior features, legitimately impressive and advanced.

Build quality? What build quality? Even Buick was laughing at the suspension. And god help you if anything broke on one - which it did, with alarming regularity. Exploding plastic intake manifolds? We got ‘em! And of course, fixing anything on these, good fucking luck . I swear to god, 3 out of 4 I fixed? Returned.

Same problem? No, usually I fixed problem A... which exposed problem B through J. Fix those, a month later it’s in for a PCM or BCM anyway. Everyone tried to keep those things out of their bay, even more than the Renaults. (We only had maybe 4 , but it felt like 400 .)
