My grandparents bought my '93 Concorde new in November, '92 right when the LH platform debuted. It has every available option except Visorphone (available in California only). They gave it to me in 2006 w/ 38,000 miles. I've been all over the country in it, it's a better car than I ever thought it could be for the most part. As of March, 2014 it has 132,275 miles.
In addition to all the original stuff I have for the car like window sticker, dealer receipt, unused one time use break out plastic key, valet key, and two fobs.
Some additional Concorde items I've acquired include:
*the demo 1:24 scale 1993 Chrysler Concorde model repainted to match my car in display box.
*Several Concorde magazine ads.
*Concorde launch salespeople 3 VHS training tape set.
*Original 1993 Concorde brochure.
*5 volume Chrysler's LH service manuals
*Chrysler LH Chilton
*Chrysler OBDI LH diagnostic cable.
*Chrysler 1992 Olympic medallion.
Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:
*K&N air filter
*Bosch Platinum 4 Spark Plugs
*Duralast Gold Battery
Otherwise a well maintained original 214 horsepower 24 valve 3.5 liter V6.
Suspension Modifications:
No suspension mods.
Suspension note: 1993 was the only year the touring suspension was not standard on the concorde.
Wheels/Tires Modifications:
*Duralast Gold break pads
Interior/Exterior Modifications:
Audio: Dual XML8100 AM/FM Mechless Receiver with iPod/iPhone Dock, BT Ready, SWI, iPlug, and Remote.
I still have a Chrysler Infinity III Cassette Stereo and a Chrysler Infinity IV CD Stereo.
Seats: I Installed Chrysler Integrated Child Safety Seat (rear seat back), which according to the 1993 brochure was unfortunately only available with cloth interior cars. Mine otherwise has the leather interior. I plan on reupholstering the rear seat back in leather to match the car. I figured I can have a rear center armrest in almost any sedan but the Integrated Child Safety Seat is too '90s Chrysler Corp. to pass up.
Future Modifications:
*I plan on reupholstering the rear seat back in leather to match the car.
*I would LOVE to get my hands on Chrysler's Visorphone and properly install it in my Concorde. Even if analog cell phones can't be activated. Or any old Chrysler/ Mopar cell phones.
*I also wanna get my hands on the 1993 trunk mounted Mopar 6 Disc CD Changer w/ wire remote made to wire into Infinity head units.
*Would like to find an adequate power antenna replacement that doesn't break when ice is on the car and it's powered up (I'm on my 4th antenna in 22 years). Don't want the plane antenna of the later 1st gen. LH cars.
*Toying w/ the idea of an Autostick swap but would need to know if anything other than the transmission, TCM, and instrument cluster (for PRND1234) are needed.
