- One would not expect that a Chrysler was based off a 1987
Lamborghini. But indeed, the Chrysler Concorde is inspired by the
Lamborghini Portofino. The Portofino was praised for being a
design triumph, which therefore set Chrysler in motion to produce
a mainstream sedan with the Portofino's world-shattering
design. This groundbreaking design was called the "cab-forward".
It was characterized by a long and low-slung windshield, which is
frankly hard to imagine without seeing this model. Further, the
wheels were more or less pushed to the corners of the car, which
created a much larger passenger cabin than the other models
available at the time. The Chrysler Concorde hit the main market
in 1993 and remained there until 2004. It replaced the
appropriately named Chrysler Fifth Avenue on the lineup. The
Concorde has been compared to the Dodge Intrepid, the Chrysler
LHS, the Chrysler New Yorker, and the Eagle Vision, although in
reality it is a much nicer model. During 1993 and 1994 it was on
Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list.
Years later a trim level was added which produced the hyper-luxury
Limited for 2002. By midyear, the Limited models received the
option of having the Pro-Am Edition, which would delight the
driver (no pun intended) with 2-tone leather upholstery, a unique
interior trim, and matching chrome rimmed spare tire. Better yet
though, it came with a set of Taylor Made golf clubs and a special
leather and suede Chrysler golf bag. Now just imagine pulling up
to the country club in your Concorde, opening the trunk and
pulling out your golf gear that matches the car. This is either
going to be very exciting or very embarrassing and that is left up
to the driver. Nevertheless, this option was purchased by some, so
next time you go to the club, be on the lookout for the golfer
that plays in style.
