The Chrysler Corporation 's K-Car platform of the 1980s ranks as one of the most overt uses of Platform Sharing in automotive history. Chrysler even advertised the K-Cars as a group, using the term in publications, and put "K" badges on some models. They later advertised the LH Cars similarly, but with lesser emphasis. Technically, only the Dodge Aries , Plymouth Reliant , Chrysler LeBaron , and the Dodge 400 used the K platform. The rest of the group had different platforms based on the K. The famed Chrysler Minivan s were also based on the K platform to a lesser extent. The "last of the K-cars" was the long-hood fixed-headlight LeBaron convertible that was superseded in the 1996 model year by the "cab-forward" Chrysler Sebring convertible. It should be noted that Chrysler often reused platform designations; thus the E platform based on the K cars was unrelated to the company's E platform of the early 1970s. The following cars used the K platform and its variants:
