Chrysler’s product line is slim and will only appeal to certain buyers. Currently, Chrysler offers three minivans in the Pacifica, Pacifica Hybrid, and the Voyager.

The company started in the 1920s, when Walter Chrysler joined three former Studebaker engineers – Fred Zeder, Owen Skelton, and Carl Breer – in designing an “affordable luxury” vehicle.
The first such vehicle appeared in 1924.

Total MSRP for the Chrysler Six? $1,565.
