Month, January 2009: George Watts' 1989 LeBaron Convertible
1989 Chrysler LeBaron Convertible  This fine 1989 Chrysler
LeBaron Premium convertible, owned by George Watts of
Williamstown, New Jersey, appeared at the 2008 Allpar/Slant Six
Club meet in New Brunswick. It is powered by a 4-cylinder 2.5
Turbo I with a Turbo II intercooler setup added by the owner. As
of the show date, the car had about 44,000 miles on the
odometer.  Mr. Watts bought his 1989 in 2004 over the Internet
from a seller in Huntsville, Alabama, paying about $3,500. He
took it over with a black body, and had it repainted in Mopar
“Bright Silver.” The decklid shows a GT imprint, but that
imprint, Watts says, “is a liberty I took when having the car
painted. In 1989 they called this car a Premium. There were
convertible GTs in 1989, but they were white.”  Chrysler LeBaron
The car originally had a black top, which Watts replaced with
new blue Stayfast Canvas. The top was redone
