In 1981 a bold new grille with simple vertical ribs appeared, the Fifth Avenue option package remained, and a heavily optioned Carriage Roof package was added, available only in Nightwatch Blue or Mahogany metallic. With a suggested retail price increased to 10,459 dollars and an additional Fifth Avenue trim package price of 1,300 dollars, sales plummeted again to just over 6,500 cars, the last year of the R body before the downsizing of 1982.
