Types of Chryslers

    The Brand

    • The Chrysler Imperial, this one a 1993 model, was a long-running top luxury brand

      Chrysler is part of the "Big 3" Detroit automakers that ruled the industry for most of the 20th century. Its line of cars served as entry-level luxury vehicles above Plymouth, Dodge and DeSoto. It served a similar market targeted by Ford's Mercury and General Motors' Buick, but not at the level of Lincoln and Cadillac. In 1955, Chrysler developed the Imperial as its own line of cars to compete against Lincoln and Cadillac, but it never achieved a strong following.

    Sebring

    • The Sebring sedan

      The Sebring coupe was introduced in 1995. A convertible arrived the following year, and the sedan began production in 2001. The coupe was discontinued in 2005, while the sedan was scheduled to cease production in 2010. Replacing the LeBaron and based on the Mitsubishi Eclipse, the early Sebrings were powered by a modest 2.4-liter inline-four-cylinder engine or the 2.7-liter V-6. Later, a 3.5-liter V-6 was introduced.

    300

    • The 300 sedan is popular for its low profile and aggressive grille

      Chrysler's flagship car, the 300, is a full-size luxury sedan that has gained instant popularity for its sporty, low-profile looks and ubiquitous presence in movies. It features many components from the 1996 to 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. It comes in three trim levels: Base, the mid-level Touring and the performance Limited, which is equipped with a 250-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine. Many special editions, including the SRT-8, powered by a 425-horse, 6.1-liter Hemi V-8, also were produced.

    Town and Country

    PT Cruiser

    • The PT Cruiser is a homage to the old-style station wagons

      The PT Cruiser is a wagon introduced in 2000 with distinct retro styling echoing the station wagons of the 1940s and 1950s. Originally envisioned as a Plymouth, the "PT" in PT Cruiser stands for "Plymouth Trucks" in a nod to the name of the Plymouth truck line in the 1930s. More than 1 million have been manufactured, but production ceased in 2009.

    Prowler

    • The Chrysler Prowler followed the Plymouth version

      Short-lived but noteworthy is the 2001 to 2002 Chrysler Prowler. The Chrysler Prowler is a rebadged version of the Plymouth Prowler following Plymouth's demise in 2001. The Prowler made its debut in 1997. It was conceived as a hot rod with a needle-nose front end, separate front fenders, a bustle rear end and featuring lightweight aluminum construction. Under the hood was a 214-horse, 3.5-liter V-6 engine.

    Crossfire

    • The Crossfire is a two-seater performance roadster or coupe

      The Crossfire is another Chrysler entry into the performance field. The Crossfire was produced from 2004 to 2008 as a two-seater roadster and coupe. It was produced when Daimler-Benz and Chrysler were partnered as DaimlerChrysler. As a result, nearly half of the Crossfire's components are from Mercedes-Benz. It was offered in Base and Limited trim levels and powered by a 215-horse, 3.2-liter V-6.
