5:26 this isn’t an LHS. It has a column shift. This is probably just a Concorde. At least some of the shots.

Huh? At 5:26, you can clearly see the console-mounted gear shifter. It’s not mounted on the column. The shifter is on the floor.

Bought a 1996 LHS used in 2007 w/ 102,000 miles. Drove it until 2011, it had 230,000 miles on it when I sold it. Never a problem with the electronics, engine or trans. It was one of the best cars I've ever had.

I had a 1993 LHS. Great ride, incredible room esp in the back seat. Problems were the A/C system that I had to have worked on twice right after warranty expired, and bad front ball joints after about 50,000 miles. Never had those kind of problems in any other car, and I’m not a hot rod type driver.

I had one brand-new back then. Gorgeous car; drove beautifully, dumb name. They should've called it, "Newport" , a name from the past. As far as names go, Dodge should've called their current Challenger GT, a "Challenger Rallye"; retro name from the past. American Cars called "GT" typically coincide as Mustangs; another dumb choice.

The LHS wasn't all that faster than the 3.8 ltr v6 Imperial and New yorker fifth avenue it replaced. The only real difference was that the LHS and New Yorker handled better and had more trunk room. Not saying a whole lot for a clean sheet design?

These were some of the best riding cars of the day. The only issue They had was the water pumps failing around 30-40k miles. Otherwise they were solid dependable cars! Fairly quick for a heavy V-6. The seats were amazing. The car was a way nicer ride than either ford or GM had at the time, excluding the crown Vic cars.
