The '''[[Chrysler]] LHS''' was introduced in 1994, a year after the [[Chrysler Concorde\|Concorde]] on a stretched LH body (the "LHS" name comes from LH-Stretched). The LHS was introduced alongside the latest (and last) car to utilize the '''New Yorker''' nameplate. The first generation LHS would go until the end of 1997, and the second generation would be short-lived, running from 1999 to 2001 (there would be no 1998 LHS). Where applicable, this page covers both the LHS and New Yorker except where noted.

	Here's a rundown on both models:		Here's a rundown on both models:

	The LH platform (Concorde, Intrepid) had been redesigned for 1998, and the 2nd generation LHS would debut a few months later as an early 1999 model to coincide with the introduction of the all-new [[Chrysler 300M\|300M]]. In fact, by this time, the LHS had basically become a Concorde with a different nose. The LHS and 300M would share the same chassis and running gear, but the LHS was the more sedate of the two, as the 300M was geared more to the sport-oriented crowd with a sport-tuned suspension and tires, along with an "autostick" transmission, which permitted manually-selected gear changes using a separate shift gate. Standard and only engine was a 253 hp 3.5L (215 cid) V6 with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The LHS also had a different grille and taillights than the 300M (and was a full 10" longer), along with a little more chrome and glitz.

	2000 models changed very little - chrome power window and door lock switches and a new 4-disc CD-changer became available, but that was about it. 2001 models got new steering wheels with audio controls and a 3-point safety belt for the middle rear position, along with optional side-impact airbags. An optional Luxury Group became available, featuring a California Walnut-trimmed interior, automatic adjusting outside mirrors and an overhead console-mounted Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). 2001 turned out the be the LHS's last, as it was clearly being overshadowed by the much more popular 300M, which continued through 2004.
