After vowing for years that "there would never be a small Chrysler", the company was forced to rethink its position after the first fuel crisis of 1973-74 that severly crippled big car sales, Chrysler in particular taking a huge hit. So for 1975, the new "small" Chrysler Cordoba was born (if you can call an 18 foot car with a 115" wheelbase weighing nearly 4000 lbs "small", but compared to Chrysler's other mastodon-sized cars of the day, it was). An interesting bit of trivia about the Cordoba is that it was originally destined to be a Plymouth before ultimately becoming a Chrysler model. It was Chrysler's first foray into what was called the "personal luxury car" group. Its styling was clearly inspired by General Motors (the Chevy Monte Carlo in particular), but it was also a good looking car in its own right and it was initially a huge hit (and a much needed success for Chrysler). Some may remember Spanish actor Ricardo Montalban hawking the Cordoba in TV commercials, stating "THIS... is my kind of car" - and who could forget the "fine Corinthian leather" (whatever "Corinthian" was supposed to mean is still a mystery).

Here's a rundown from year to year:
