Chrysler - big, bold and beautiful. Some of the most magnificent American cars of all time have come from the Chrysler stable, going back to the stately Town & Country series of the late 1940s, to the magnificent 300 letter cars. Pundits have long argued who invented the muscle car - was it Oldsmobile with the Rocket 88 of 1949, Pontiac with the first GTO of 1963, or was it Chrysler’s 300 of 1955? The 300 stood for horsepower - and Chrysler had it in spades with their series of brutal Hemis from the 331 and right up to the 392 Firedome of the late ‘50s that became the favourite of drag racers.

Fins, chrome, power, electroluminescent instruments, pushbutton autos, the world’s first production power steering in 1951, torsion bars - innovation has been a part of Chrysler’s heritage going back to the futurisitc 1930s Airflow.
