Chrysler LHS
Encyclopedia : C : CH : CHR : Chrysler LHS
The Chrysler LHS was a full-size, front wheel drive car based on Chrysler's LH platform.
Originally released in 1994, the same year as the last generation of the Chrysler New Yorker, and a year after the Chrysler Concorde, Dodge Intrepid and Eagle Vision, the LHS used a version of the LH platform lengthened with another five inches wheelbase in order to increase the size of the passenger compartment, and take the place of the Imperial as the largest car in Chrysler's range. A very similar New Yorker model was also built as a replacement for the New Yorker Fifth Avenue and New Yorker Salon. The LHS was differentiated from New Yorker by more standard features.
The LHS was dropped after the 1997 model year in anticipation of a new, redesigned LHS, released for 1999. As was the case before, the second generation LHS occupied its niche as Chrysler's largest car. The New Yorker, discontinued in 1996, was replaced by the second generation Concorde, very similar in appearance to the LHS.
In a confusing move, Chrysler discontinued the LHS after 2001, replacing it with the new Concorde Limited. The Concorde's fascias, the only exterior difference between the Concorde and LHS, were replaced with the LHS'. In effect, the LHS was rebadged as the Concorde.
