For 1982, the LeBaron moved to the front-wheel drive Chrysler K platform, where it was the upscale brand's lowest priced offering.
It was initially available in just sedan and coupe versions.
In early 1982, it was released in a convertible version, bringing to the market the first factory-built open-topped domestic vehicle since the 1976 Cadillac Eldorado.
 
A station wagon version called the Town and Country was added as well.
 A special Town and Country convertible was also made from 1983 to 1986 in limited quantities (1,105 total), which like the wagon featured simulated wood paneling that made it resemble the original 1940s Town and Country.
This model was part of the well-equipped Mark Cross option package for the latter years.

Despite being mechanically similar to the Aries and Reliant, its fascias closely resembled those of the larger E-body sedans.
This generation featured Chrysler's Electronic Voice Alert, a computerized voice which warned drivers about various conditions with phrases such as "A door is ajar" or "Your engine oil pressure is low".

The LeBaron was facelifted for 1986 receiving rounder front and rear ends to improve aerodynamics.
Coupes and convertibles were dropped for 1987, being replaced by the all-new J-body LeBaron released that year.
The sedan and wagon continued with minor change until 1988.
A larger LeBaron sedan based on the Dodge Spirit and Plymouth Acclaim would arrive for the 1990 model year.

A 1983 Town and Country convertible was featured in the sixth and seventh seasons of the popular sitcom Seinfeld, that George Costanza purchased after being told by a car salesman that it was previously owned by actor Jon Voight, though it was later revealed that its previous owner was actually John Voight, a dentist that appeared in the episode "The Mom and Pop Store", where the car was first featured.
In a later interview, the actor confessed that the car featured in the show wasn't actually owned by Voight himself, but by his mother, Barbara Voight.
