Chrysler's chief designer, Virgil Exner, tweaked the design by excising the Imperial's massive front bumper in favor of the less ornate one used on the base Chrysler, and the 300 went into production.
Virgil Exner, then Chrysler's design chief, called his new styling direction that was seen on all the 1957 Chryslers "Sweptline," in reference to the upswept tailfins that adorned the cars' rear flanks.
Chrysler is to be commended for doing more than just rebadging a Concorde and calling it a 300 (an approach taken by certain American carmakers all too often).

But this proved a poor year for the industry in general and Chrysler in particular, so only about 16,000 Imperials were built for the model year.
Chrysler engineers were by now sufficiently experienced with unit construction to use it for their most-expensive product, and newer technology allowed computerized stress testing of a given shape before it was ever built.
Seeking to cut losses, Chrysler decided it was time to forget Imperial, and the last ’75 Imperial left the Jefferson Avenue plant in Detroit on June 12, 1975: a LeBaron hardtop sedan bearing serial number YM43-T5C-182947.

Chrysler will be paying Celine Dion fourteen million dollars to sing and appear in their ads for the next few years.
Chrysler hopes that the Pacifica will lead the brand's move upmarket, but like other non-Japanese companies it lacks the long-term view to price low at introduction and then raise prices only after the brand's image improves.

 Development of the Chrysler - Talbot - Simca Horizon
Chrysler's own financial problems might have overshadowed the launch to a degree, but the Horizon was given a warm reception in Europe.
Sadly, Chrysler's mounting problems in the USA were becoming intolerable, and in an effort to concentrate on its core businesses in the USA, the inevitable decision to offload Chrysler Europe was taken.

Chrysler followed suit in 1951, Lincoln in 1952, and pretty soon similar V8s were sprouting all over the place.
Perhaps of equal importance to the styling is Chrysler's return to a front-engine, rear-drive platform.
Chrysler is certainly an American nameplate, but consider the pedigree of the 300: Vehicle assembly takes place at Brampton, Ontario, Canada, in the plant American Motors built in the 1980s to manufacture thinly-disguised Renaults.

 2005 Chrysler 300 Review | AutoSite Car Previews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
These large, fast Chryslers were not always pretty, but they did represent the best of what Chrysler did back when it was a premium American brand competing with Cadillac and Lincoln for well-heeled consumers.
Chrysler prefers to call this powertrain "fuel-efficient." Given the Chrysler 300's curb weight of 3,700 pounds, we'd say it's underpowered, producing a lackadaisical zero-to-60 acceleration run in 10.7 pathetic seconds.
It's a mistake for Chrysler to reach into the low $20,000s to capture buyers when trying to reposition as a premium brand (let 'em buy the Sebring!), but otherwise this is a smart and highly visible effort to boost the prestige of Chrysler's winged badge.

 Dodge Intrepid, Chrysler 300M, Concorde, LHS, Eagle Vision Steering Problems and Failure
Chrysler has had nearly 10 years to properly address and correct these common problems while Chrysler's patch attempts or attempts to put a "band-aid" over this defective steering design have failed.
Chrysler's view seems to be a cost-benefit ratio where it is cheaper to let these circumstances happen where a few people could become hurt or killed and Chrysler doesn't have to pay to redesign and replace all the defective parts.
Many consumers were lied to by Chrysler when Chrysler would deny responsibility for the defect, thereby forcing consumers to live with the dangerous condition, sell the vehicle at a loss or incur the expensive of repairing the defects.

 Chrysler of Argentina - the history and the cars
Chrysler indeed was associated with Fevre and Basset (this company also imported Volkswagen Beetles, per a local source) and by 1962 was building the Valiant I (known as the 1960 version of the Plymouth Valiant in the U.S.) The car seems identical although like in Canada was known only as the Valiant.
Two interesting pieces of local Chrysler history: a form of stock car racing exists where these three cars compete: the 1970s GTX coupe, the 1972 Chevy Nova, and the 1962 version of the Ford Falcon.
Today this intake are very rare and the one that has a Chrysler inline six wants it to have 2 carburetors in their car.

 Upcoming changes in the Chrysler lineup
General Motors, Chrysler, and BMW have developed a two-mode transmission/motor designed for hybrid-electric vehicles which should increase the gas mileage of full-sized SUVs by 15%-25% (the 25% figure includes GM's cylinder-cutoff system which is similar to Chrysler's MDS).
Chrysler was working on a new transmission, for both front and rear drive, if patent apps are any indication.
Many within Chrysler are still frustrated by the decision to keep Plymouth dead, knowing they are losing thousands of minivan and car sales from loyal Plymouth owners, but the decision is etched in stone.

His company, Tracinda, may have been Chrysler’s largest pre-merger shareholder, and he has sufficient funds to mount the legal challenge, but DaimlerChrysler should be more concerned that in two years, it has not been able to define properly where the Chrysler and Dodge brands are positioned.
Chrysler should be moved to become the volume brand, producing rational, quality automobiles, on a par with Volkswagen.
In other words: a Chrysler that is more German and a Mercedes-Benz that is more American, or at least Mercedes products like the new C-class that show a design flair that Americans are willing to embrace (and not the dull E-class).

NEW YORK – The debate over exactly what the next PT Cruiser should be rages on at Chrysler Group, which still hasn’t settled on a platform for the next-generation model believed to be less than two years away.
Klegon says either platform will work for the next-generation PT, and like the Belvidere, IL, plant that makes the C-platform vehicles and the Sterling Heights, MI, facility that will build the new D-segment cars, the PT plant in Toluca, Mexico, will be capable of building both platforms in a completely flexible volume mix.
Chrysler still has some time, Klegon says, declining to confirm the ’08 model timeframe for the next-generation model.

So in anticipation of meeting their needs, they have created a new platform for the coupes, and renamed the vehicle formerly known as the Dodge Avenger.
And so they share a platform with the Mitsubishi Eclipse coupe (and also the Gallant, which is, curiously enough, a sedan)...but they are 3 in.
But as one example from the development of the Chrysler Sebring sedan (see the photo on the cover of this magazine) indicates, there is a whole lot more going on in DCX design than the creation of clever shapes.

Chrysler's management thought they'd made it clear they had no interest in such a deal.
By late 1999, a share of the original Chrysler was worth a few pennies less than it had been before the merger was announced, and only about a dollar more than before Kerkorian made his move back in April 1995.
Yet Daimler-Benz's $36-billion buyout of Chrysler in 1998 was widely hailed as a paradigm-busting leap forward in the cost-efficient manufacture and development of cars and trucks.
