The M-Bodies were Chrysler Corporation's successor to the F-body Aspen/Volare. The platform, almost identical to the F, was introduced in 1977 and was the basis for some mid-sized Chrysler models until its demise in 1989. The M-body was also the successor to the short-lived R-body, as the Chrysler New Yorker and Plymouth Gran Fury moved to it following the R-body's demise in 1981. The M platform was the final production passenger car with semi-elliptical leaf springs sold in the U.S.

  • Als Chrysler M-Plattform wird eine Familie von Fahrzeugen des amerikanischen Automobilherstellers Chrysler bezeichnet, die zwischen 1977 und 1989 in unterschiedlichen Ausführungen über die Marken Chrysler, Dodge und Plymouth vertrieben wurde. Die technisch einfachen und über die Jahre kaum modifizierten Fahrzeuge der M-Plattform waren eng mit den 1976 vorgestellten Modellen Dodge Aspen und Plymouth Volaré verwandt. Bei ihrer Einführung waren sie als „small luxury cars“ oder „mid-size-cars“ unterhalb der zur B-Plattform gehörenden Intermediates und der noch größeren Fullsize-Modelle der C- und R-Plattformen positioniert; in den 1980er Jahren stellten sie dagegen die mit Abstand größten Personenwagen der Chrysler Corporation dar. Von der M-Plattform wurden einige weitere Modellreihen der Chrysler Corporation abgeleitet.

The platform, almost identical to the F, was introduced in 1977 and was the basis for some mid-sized Chrysler models until its demise in 1989. The M-body was also the successor to the short-lived R-body, as the Chrysler New Yorker and Plymouth Gran Fury moved to it following the R-body's demise in 1981. The M platform was the final production passenger car with semi-elliptical leaf springs sold in the U.S. The M-cars were built at St. Louis, Missouri. Beginning in late 1986 (1987 models) and through the last 1989 year, the American Motors plant in Kenosha, Wisconsin was also used for production. By 1983-84, it became clear that most private buyers preferred the equally roomy but cheaper and more fuel economical K-cars; however, the M's long-proven traditional engineering, handling, and V8 engine availability appealed to police and taxi fleets, allowing the car's continued existence until the end of the decade. Vehicles on this platform include: 1977-1989 Dodge Diplomat 1977-1981 Chrysler LeBaron 1978-1981 Chrysler Town and Country station wagon 1978-1979 Dodge Coronet (South America) 1978-1982 Plymouth Caravelle (Canada) 1980-1981 Dodge Dart (Mexico) 1981-1982 Dodge Magnum 5.9L (Mexico) 1982-1989 Plymouth Gran Fury 1982 Chrysler New Yorker 1983 Chrysler New Yorker Fifth Avenue 1983-1989 Plymouth Caravelle Salon (Canada) 1984-1989 Chrysler Fifth Avenue There were three body styles offered: 2-door coupe - 1977-1981 4-door sedan - 1977-1989 4-door station wagon - 1978-1981 There were two wheelbases used: 108.7 in - 1980-1981 2-door models 112.7 in - 1977-1979 2-door models and 1977-1989 4-door models Engines used with this platform include: 225 Slant 6 (1977-1983) 318 V8 (1977-1989) 360 V8 (1977-1979) 1977 Dodge Diplomat sedan1977 Dodge Diplomat sedan  1980 Chrysler Town and Country station wagon1980 Chrysler Town and Country station wagon  1984 Chrysler Fifth Avenue sedan1984 Chrysler Fifth Avenue sedan  1986 Plymouth Caravelle Salon sedan1986 Plymouth Caravelle Salon sedan
