What options do you wish Chrysler would have thought of and made available for the K cars that never were available on the Ks in the real world when the cars were being made?
Top of my list would be a dual reclining feature for the split bench seat.
Next would be redesigned seat belts in coupe models what wouldn't rub your neck and face raw with the over the sholder part!
Maybe even built in cupholders instead of the ashtray!
Your favorite option wish ??

thicker/softer carpeting like the M body Fifth Avenues (great for those of us who drive barefoot) those cool fender mounted turn signal moniters from the 70's, rear power window controls on the convertables, remote keyless entry/alram, a better desined convetable top (that dosen't require several steps to put the top down) optional velor upholstery for convertables as well as pillow seats-like Fifth Aves, 5-speed man. transmission on convertables (aleast for '86) chrome trim pedals

thats one thing that im unhappy with chrysler, offering a 5 speed in the K convertables. I watch edda520's 85 Lebaron turbo converted to 5 speed. Wow she can fly

they deffenatly should have!
somthing else they couldv'e done with convertables is make that center armrest be able to move up and down-it tends to get in the way when your on a date...

I love the 5th Avenue/ New Yorker pillow top seats and the storage unit that comes down from the dash board.

Cloth seats and Manual transmissions in the convertibles absolutely. I remember how dissapointed I couldn't even special order one.

An overdrive for the automatics.
Wagons pulling a 3.08:1 gearing need all the highway help they can get.
A mechanical overdrive and not the electronic nightmare of UltraDrive would have served Chrysler well.
For some reason,2.2s and 2.5s never got OD.I guess they figured they didnt have the torque to pull a high OD ratio.
If thats so,why did some 2.2 manuals have a 2.20 top gear ratio? How did they ever pull that? Going 100mph maybe?

A turbo 5-speed, rear armrests for sedan and coupe, power mirrors, and yes, a fold up or removable armrest for convertible.
