	Be that as it may, the LeBaron Coupe shared no body panels with any other Chrysler model, and sported hidden quad headlamps to further set off its sleek styling. Engine choices were strictly K-car fare: standard 93 hp 2.2L (135 cid) I4, with the 146 hp Turbo 2.2 and 100 hp 2.5L (153 cid) I4 as options. Transmissions were a 5-speed manual or a 3-speed automatic. Coupes and convertibles were available in either Highline or Premium trim. Highlines had a basic analog dash with full instrumentation while the Premiums had a digital unit.

	In 1987, '''[[Chrysler]]''' released an all-new coupé and convertible model to replace dated design of the second generation K-body [[Chrysler LeBaron\|LeBaron]] coupé and convertible. The result was the aerodynamic, and more modern, J-body LeBaron Coupé. This was the third generation of the coupé and convertible which was introduced in 1977. ~~However, the LeBaron line can be traced all the way back to the mid 1900s.~~ The new J-body LeBaron would not be offered as an equivalent from '''[[Dodge]]''' or '''[[Plymouth]]''' but the '''[[Dodge Daytona]]''' is in reality the '''[[Dodge]]''' equivalent of the LeBaron Coupé. The LeBaron got it's start in 1984 when '''[[Chrysler]]''' started a joint effort with '''[[Maserati]]''' to design a car. That car was the Maserati TC but it ended up branching off into two designs. Both cars were released at around the same time and look somewhat similar. However, the body panels on both cars were unique to each other. While various car magazine testers were impressed with its styling, ''Car and Driver'' dismissed it as yet another thinly-disguised K-car knockoff, even going so far as to have its main road test picture with the car parked in front of a ''Burger King'' restaurant. Their main point was, just like a ''whopper'' sandwich, no matter how much you dressed it up on top, it was still the same old hamburger meat underneath. The LeBaron Coupe would be produced until it was succeeded by the [[Chrysler Sebring\|Sebring]] in 1995.

	1988 models continued with little change, but in 1989, sporty '''GT''' and '''GTC''' packages became available.

In 1991, the base and Turbo 2.2 engines were dropped. The Turbo 2.2 was replaced by a 150 hp Turbo 2.5 version. GT models were dropped, GTC models received the 3.0L V6, and 4-wheel disc brakes became optional.		1988 models continued with little change, but in 1989, sporty '''GT''' and '''GTC''' packages became available.

The coupe models would not return in 1994, the only bodystyle available now was the convertible and only in GTC trim with the 3.0L V6. Dual airbags were now standard. There would be no changes to the 1995 model, which was the LeBaron's last.

Supposedly Chrysler would offer only 4 Pace Car models to the general public, 2 of which are on display in museums, the other 2 being in the hands of private collectors.
