📚 Vehicle History
Brand Heritage
Chrysler Legacy:
Chrysler has a long history of producing large, comfortable sedans for the American market.
Model Evolution
Lh Platform Introduction:
The Concorde, along with its siblings, marked a significant departure in design and engineering for Chrysler, adopting a front-wheel-drive, cab-forward architecture.
Design Philosophy:
The LH platform was designed by an external studio, Lamborghini Design and Styling, under Chrysler's ownership, contributing to its distinctive European-influenced styling.
The LH platform sedans, including the Concorde, were lauded for their value and styling, though not specifically named to Car and Driver's 10Best list in 1995.
Industry Acclaim:
Praised for introducing a modern, European-inspired design language to the American full-size sedan segment.
