It is a beauty! It certainly has the chrome doesn't it. Now they've gone the opposite direction - too little chrome. The 2002 Intrepid I owned had absolutely none. It was a good looking car but it would have looked so much better if it had had a little chrome applied to set off some of its features. That's what I like about the 2008 DUB Edition 300 I have, they put some [restrained] chrome touches on it, mainly on the grille, bumpers, around the side windows, wheels and the outside mirrors. I wouldn't have minded some chrome trim around the windshield and rear window but it does look fine without it, too. I wish car makers used a little more chrome on their cars nowadays.
I read somewhere that government safety dictates had something to do with chrome being reduced.
You are probably correct. I recall reading something on the internet earlier but anything on the internet is suspect.I always thought NASCAR was a prime suspect for removing chrome from cars because of on track safety issues?
Chrysler had some real engineering and design talent in those days!
Thank you for posting.
The pitching of the transmission pushbuttons at 1:34-1:37 is interesting: "see, all the controls are on your left, away from the children."
Ditto for the third bench at 3:31: "keeps the kids happy and out of your hair".
Imagine an ad like that today...
for theThe rear view mirror in the Chrysler surprised me. Automatically went to night mode . Why can’t they do that today in cars? Really ahead of their time.
