The WEIRD Car Chrysler NEVER Should Have Built - the 1985 Chrysler Executive Limousine 

Jeff Bezos before Amazon money

Looks like it had a collision with a J.C. Whitney catalog!

Chrysler didn't make this, they couldn't have. It's like the entire auto zone isle on one car!

Hysterical! Can't believe someone actually made this.

Somebody added all this garishness. The plain limo looked actually pretty nice. So nice, that even Frank Sinatra owned one.

No self respecting pimp from the 70's would have driven that thing. 😲 Please, put it back in the woods.

poor poor car🙄 It could have been something really special in five or ten years without all this customizations

That's an imperial digital dash module. Standard Chrysler wiring harness fits right in there and works. The car was set to have the digital dash in future models but it was discontinued. It didn't register over 85 MPh. I had a frank Sinatra edition imperial. Same bells and whistles. I have a 83 5th Avenue now. When it dies I will be looking for another just like it. Great rare car😊

That car is the epitome of "po' pimp" but it is so awesome!

there is absolutely nothing about this that is factually correct.

This car need to be on Jay Leno car show.

FINALLY ! Someone who has a love for weird and just plain wrong other than myself. Love the old school land yachts from the 70' and 60's , but this find is the ultimate wtf factor

The Wagon Queen Family Truckster's got NOTHING on this thing!!!!!!

That aberration must have belonged to a gangster/drug dealer or some small-time rapper. And you should not say in the title "Chrysler should have never built it", because they did not. But because it's so awful, it's really something special. How many others like it are out there? Right.

Dang, there's nothing like expensive bad taste! You could enter this monstrosity in the Houston Art Car parade as it is.

I have curtains in my hearse which makes for horrid blind spots. I just cant bring myself to remove them though as it really completes the look.

With all of the housewares on that thing we should name it The Menard Limo or the Home Depot Limo. You should keep it and tell your kids that's their ride to the high school prom when they're in HS. I got an idea for you, put full insurance on it and call Samuel Richardson. Tell him you have another car he can buy. ;-) It's definitely a unique ride. ~Pat

I love looking at the car and trying to figure out where everything came from. Then towards the end when you said that the side exhaust was handicap handrails, I laughed so hard. We should do a Bentley vs Chrysler Limo video.

I remember when these first came out, I always thought the E Class tail end would have improved the looks and balanced it out. There is one in the movie "Valley Girl" for the prom scene.

Peter Griffin designs a limo. You are a very brave man, accepting to be seen driving around in it. Regarding the mileage figures, as I remember it, they were actually extrapolated from the EPA emissions testing loop which was done entirely indoors on rollers which eliminated rolling resistance and air resistance, there was no hard braking and only slow, gradual acceleration up to no more than 55mph which was the national speed limit at the time. The figures weren't realistic, but since the methodology was exactly the same for every single vehicle tested, they could at least be used to compare different car models.

Looks like something from escape from New York lol pretty cool

That is the most hidious car I’vd ever seen. I need one! I’d SO take that to Radwood!!!

Great video ...reminded me of a large version of the Deloraine in Back to the future. I’m sure the previous owner wouldn’t be to happy about the treatment of his beloved car being stuck under a tree and forgotten though. Because of it’s uniqueness it deserves to be preserved under cover and restored for prosperity and for others to enjoy at car shows etc or sell it on the someone who would appreciate having such a unique vehicle 😕

This is a masterpiece. I would drive this proudly if I had one. Cheers for saving this unique beauty

This car could have been in 'Vegas Vacation' and replaced the Wagon Queen Family Truckster...ha!

its unique like my 73 buick electra with no options people have to get a double look at shows too

This car has a Nazi/Mad Max/Gipsy mix style.

Looks like a car from a Chinese diplomat.....LOL! Or the greatest 70s Pimp mobile!

The gentleman he purchased this car from is somewhat an eccentrique as myself. He also has other vehicles he has done this way. Unlike the series seventy-five Limousine and sedans. Chrysler made more of the limousines than the sedans. You can not get the 1982 Chrysler limousine or sedan they only made one of each that was maroon in colour. The public could get the 1983-1986 version. I have always loved these Chrysler limousines and sedans. Nice find Chris!!! I wonder whom bought it?

I remember seeing "stock" versions of that car around back in the day. You've got some interesting mods on yours though - gargoyles, flex pipe, diamond plate, flames...I can't think of anything else that car needs....I love it. Thanks for showing if off for us!

About 2002 I needed a 7-seater for many purposes including my daughters & their dance group friends. Scored a 1986 version of this in mint cond from the repo man for $3000 in dark blue with the 2.2 turbo (but no extra chrome things glued all over). Same blue interior. That turbo made it a highway dream. And the steeper the grade the harder it hauled. But in gridlock city it felt like a giraffe in an outhouse. It just wanted to burst out every time you tapped the throttle. When it snapped a timing belt after midnight, 2 of us pushed it a block and a half to a garage, they really were lightweight as stated in the video. Cheap repair, no engine damage. It was also my work vehicle: one time they dispatched me to the golf course with a new trainee who wanted to ride in the back. They waved us into the best exec parking spot! Dudes, we're just here to fix your computer issues. I crawled underneath once to see how they made these: they're a FWD New Yorker front half and a LeBaron Coupe back half with a special 30 inch partition & jumpseat module factory-welded between it all. Eventually I parked it because the tranny packed it in. After 2 years of being left outside in the Pacific Northwet, when I opened it up it was full of black mould. 2 minutes with those spores attacking my lungs was enough to realize a total interior replacement and probably new body wiring would also be needed now, with spare parts unavailable. Sending it off to the crusher was a sad, sad day. Thanks for making this video, it's like riding in style again.

I've seen a stock one and it was strange enough without all these crazy add ons. Personally I've always wanted a Dodge Dynasty so I could paint it bright yellow and put big wheels and a huge spoiler on it.

This car is beautiful! I have an 86 lebarron and it has been the best car I could ever hope for. I would love to own this limo!

I remember this car being for sale for like a decade, can't believe someone bought it

thanks for posting, im sure it was really nice when it was new, without all the addons , quirky and fun im sure , thanks for posting lol

I remember these….I also remember Cadillac making these with the little Cadillac from the 80’s.

Larry David: “It’s a fucken .. WORK OF ART ....

EVEN A PIMP WOULD BE EMBARRASSED TO DRIVE OR BE SEEN IN IT!

Holy Moly. Im speechless

The scariest thing about that car is that someone thought all of that crap looked cool!

Elvis hasn't left this building.

Wow. That Chrysler limo is gaudy as hell! Kick ass!

This is what a car designed by 3 year old Kyle doodling in class would look like.

Wooooow you got THAT one! Has been on CarsOnLine selling list for a while.

Reminds me of the limo from Escape from New York....lol

That car is about as early as me and you put together

I would rather have the car with the divider to use as a family car so I don't have to hear those annoying kids all the time.

That's an excellent example of how something can be sooooo ridiculous that it becomes awesome! You need to wrap it pink to fully embrace it. LOL

I love it! Great car I just ask that you please take care of it and cherish it for what it is.

Man....if I ever make it rich,I wanna be driven in that fancy & luxurious automobile

I'm pretty sure the person that added all those...."enhancements", bought this car and thought "what if....." at an autozone store

Next time you take it out, you should blast the “Theme From Shaft” out the windows ! Cool car !

Are you going to put LED headlights and taillights on your limousine?

I can not believe you bought that! I saw that POS online and thought that there wasn't a single person that would buy that. Scrap it!

Do you still own this one? I recently got one myself and i have some questions :)

Everything about this car is morbidly obese. Thank you.

the woods is a good place for it, put it back in there, like the electronic dash

Never knew they had a Mad Max version.

You do realize that nothing you said is accurate about this car.

This is what happens when a Chrysler K-car and Jeepnie mate.

Oh, man.. This car screams "fake!" in sooooo many ways..

What in the name of all that is holy did some meth addict do to that poor K-Car Limo??? As if the poor thing wasn't ugly enough. SMH.

Looks like a Movie Car of some type or a Budget Pimp Mobile!!

What does a bunch of after market crap have to do with product development? If fuel prices were to remain high as feared, Chrysler would have been better positioned than Ford or GM. Chrysler was the only American automaker meeting government fuel economy targets in the 1980's.

The Chrysler 5th avenue was the luxury rear drive car of 85.

I love it!! If you ever want to sell it, I'd gladly buy it.

After doing away with the Imperial this was the best they could come up with.

Kids this is why you don't want to do drugs.

Am I crazy or is that divider the rear window from a pickup truck?

Somebody did this to the car. Chrysler would not have done all that.

Limo designed by Clarke W Griswold.

You need to put that thing on a 4wd truck frame.

OK, that car did NOT come from Chrysler or any converter hired by them looking like that. All that gaudy crap stuck to it was added on by a previous owner. There was a Chrysler Executive, in both sedan and limousine variants that were made to be an upmarket K-car, but other than the additional length, they were very boring to look at. And you're wrong about the engine. The 2.2 Turbo was also available. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Executive

The mustang and the k car are some of the best things that came from the 80s and yes music but the k car was a dame good car but all those cars just rotted away

Remove all of the gaudy nonsense, and pop on a New Yorker front clip. Then, put it back into service. People would actually ride in it then.

Factory built Pimpmobile....

I miss my Aries K

Hey Chris, Im the kid with an 85 Crown Vic. Well theres an update video that I made that you can check out if you wanna see how far its come so far, Thanks!

I've seen one of those in massachusetts, weirdest car I've ever seen

I had 1A had a 2.5 Leader Turbo 4 cylinder

Didn't Jon Voidt have one of those?

I hope you got that car for a song....and only a song. I do like it though. Just over-the-top ridiculous....

The guy tried getting creative with it.

Hello Chris, The car is so ugly that it is already interesting again :-) Who screws something to his car .. apparently someone likes the eagle. well, after all, it is the state symbol of the United States (and incidentally, the eagle is also the state symbol in Germany). Nevertheless, I would not stick tons of eagles on the car. But as I said ... interesting. I am only surprised how one can sell such a car, that does not normally buy, or. I guess you were the only buyer around. I'm curious if you want to sell the car again how long it takes to find a buyer. Conclusion: pretty crazy car Greetings from Germany by Frank

The later turbo ones are much better.

The limo is cool, although I can do without the art car embellishments.

2 second faster e.t. if you take off the Whitney showroom. 😂

If the Truckster had a baby

You said that the only car that did not have front wheel drive was the Dodge Diplomat....Not true,,, The 1980-1983 Chrysler Imperial was rear wheel drive.

I don't think chrysler did the limo modification. Probably custom builder did the stretch, then somewhere down the chain of owners, a Vietnam vet who got a stapler injury in Nam aquired the car, hence all the stuck on trinkets. I know such a person. He's not all there upstairs.

Som it's basically a stretched New Yorker?

It was weird when Chrysler built it...now it's just odd. You should send a photo or two to #QuirkyRides on Twitter. It deserves recognition.

Overkill to the extreme,but appealing no less.

Sell it to Hoovie!!! 🤣

One classy black dude made this his baller machine

Looks like a movie car! lol

This is thee greatest car.............ever

I think this is the car Gorbachev was driven in when he came to America 😏

Great video neat looking car 👍

You could park this car in any city that has “MLk” Blvd....street and you have a hit...
