"It's an entire century of innovation: from its introduction of the HEMI® V-8 engine, to the creation of the minivan segment and Stow 'n Go seating.

Chrysler has chosen three vehicles to display at the NYIAS to showcase where the brand started, where it is today and where it's heading in the future: 1924 Chrysler Six: The Chrysler Six on exhibit in New York represents a full-circle moment in automotive history – on loan from the Stellantis automotive archive, it's the very same vehicle that founder Walter P. Chrysler brought to New York City for the 1924 National Automobile Show. The original Chrysler brand vehicle, the Chrysler Six, was a light, powerful vehicle equipped with a groundbreaking L-head six-cylinder engine and four-wheel hydraulic brakes — an uncommon feature in the 1920s. The 1924 price tag of $1,565 included tubular front axles, full pressure lubrication, aluminum pistons, replaceable oil and air filters, shock absorbers and indirect interior lighting. 2025 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid: Chrysler created the minivan segment, and more than 40 years and 15 million minivans later the brand continues to be a leader in the segment and help families come together on their journeys with the Chrysler Pacifica and Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid, which revolutionized the minivan segment when introduced for the 2017 model year. Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid is still the first and only plug-in hybrid in the segment. Pacifica is the most-awarded minivan ever and offers segment-exclusive features, including Stow 'n Go, the innovative seating and storage system that allows second- and third-row seats to stow into the floor. Chrysler is celebrating 20 years of the feature in 2025 with a special Stow 'n Go Challenge at NYIAS. Chrysler Halcyon Concept: Unveiled in 2024 and making its first appearance at the NYIAS, the Chrysler Halcyon Concept represents a future design theme and direction for Chrysler that embodies the brand's vision of Harmony in Motion. Crafted with stunningly modern, sustainable design and seamlessly integrated technology, the Halcyon Concept stands out with a pure, streamlined exterior design statement that balances aerodynamic and sculptural elements, and an immersive interior with nearly 360-degree range of view, creating a cockpit that is stress-free with autonomous features. Select design elements and features of the Halcyon Concept, such as the advanced Head-up Display and SmartCockpit, are features and experiences that may be offered in future Chrysler products. 100 Years, 10 Key Innovations Chrysler has a century of industry innovations and iconic vehicles. Here's a look at just 10 key innovations over Chrysler's 100 years: Future Vision: The 1934 Chrysler Airflow is the first production vehicle designed in a wind tunnel, in a new facility built by Chrysler at its Highland Park, Michigan, headquarters. Wind tunnel testing inspired the Airflow's modified teardrop shape and resulted in a vehicle that represented future design and engineering advances HEMI B-Day: The HEMI engine owns an iconic place in the history of Stellantis brands, and the high-horsepower fun all started back in 1951 with the Chrysler Firepower V-8 engine, the first of the legendary hemispheric V-8 Turbine Power: Chrysler begins testing a revolutionary gas turbine engine in 1954; in 1963, 50 Chrysler Turbine cars are loaned to 200 families throughout the country for real-world evaluation OG Muscle: One of the first muscle cars, the Chrysler 300, is introduced in 1955. The hardtop contained a 300-horsepower HEMI V-8, with solid valve lifters and dual four-barrel carburetors, the most powerful full-size car in the world Cruisin' Ahead: As the nation's system of highways begins to take shape, Chrysler is prepared, introducing automatic speed control in 1958, and cruise control as an option in 1959 Disc Changer: In 1956, Chrysler introduces an in-vehicle record player, and in 1960 introduces a vehicle record player for 45 rpm discs, with a capacity of 19 small records Minivan Memories: On November 2, 1983, the first minivan rolls off the line for the 1984 model year. More than 40 years later, Chrysler is still a segment leader with the Chrysler Pacifica, Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid and Voyager Open Sesame: In 1996, Chrysler introduces a driver-side sliding door and, later in 2001, power dual-sliding doors Still Stow 'n Go in': A class-exclusive feature for 20 years after its introduction for the 2005 model year, Stow 'n Go revolutionizes the minivan, with the ability to stow the second- and third-row seats TV Time: In 2022, Chrysler Pacifica begins offering rear-seat subscription-based TV on the Pacifica Uconnect Theater system For more information on the Chrysler Century of Innovation celebration, visit Chrysler BrandChrysler marks its 100th anniversary in 2025, honoring Walter P.
