Chrysler 160/180/2 liters

Chrysler 2 liters, Canet-en-Roussillon, France.

Great interest in this today

I recently came across a Chrysler 2 liter in France. It arrived at a car collection of special vehicles for car enthusiasts. The 2-litre with 3-speed automatic was barely audible as it glided along the parade route and parked by the harbour. Anglo-American design and French/Spanish production. I think the car looked very nice in white with a black vinyl top and yellow lights, and the interest from the French public was great. Much larger than when the car was launched.

Another press/advertising photo. I think French hunters would choose a more practical vehicle as a hunting car.

Tachometer and clock as standard equipment in the top model.

Wood/imitation wood in the dashboard was quite common on French family cars in the 70s.

From what I remember, there were few Euro-Chryslers on the road with this color combination. Most were either gold, brown or green.

The 2-liter engine with 3-speed automatic was a real executive car back in the 1970s.

About the pictures

The white car is pictured at Canet-en-Roussillon, outside Perpignan in France. The car meeting is of the type Cars & Coffee (without coffee). Some press/advertisement photos from the 70s have also been included.
