overview_03The minivan is a staple of American roadways all over.  The class have come to represent many things, but chief among them is the chariot of the family.  The styling has come a long way and Chrysler is looking to celebrate just how far the class has come in such a short time.

The first Chrysler Town & Country minivan was made in November of 1983.  That means it’s the 30th anniversary not only for the Town & Country itself, but for the minivan class.  What better way to commemorate the achievement than by moving forward with a special 30th anniversary edition of the Town & Country?

“The Chrysler Group is well-known as the creator of the minivan, and these 30th Anniversary Editions are the perfect way to celebrate their leadership and longevity in the marketplace,” said Ben Winter, vice president of Vehicle Engineering.

The 30th Anniversary Edition of the Town & Country will be based on the Touring-L model.  To make sure people who take a look will recognize it as a special edition Town & Country, there will be unique markings inside and out.  The 30th Anniversary Edition will also come equipped with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine with a six-speed automatic transmission.

For more information on the Chrysler Town & Country minivan or any Chrysler product, contact a sales rep at Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge. We will work with you to find the perfect match of a new or used car for your lifestyle.  We love to say yes!

Chrysler Invests $52 Million In Michigan Plants

Dodge Dart - 01The news coming out of Michigan has been bleak of late. The looming bankruptcy and the freefall the state has been in for years have been headline news for so long. That’s why it’s such a refreshing moment to see the opposite of that, some good news about a company investing into the Michigan economy.

That company is Chrysler and that investment is $52 million into two of their plants in Michigan. The reason is to meet the increase of demand being placed on their four-cylinder engines.

The engine is the Tigershark, the one currently being used in the Dodge Dart and will probably be used in upcoming Chrysler vehicles.

$40.5 million goes to the factory in Dundee to convert the assembly line to make it capable of producing cranks, heads, and engine blocks for the Tigershark engine.

The rest of the money, the $11.5 remaining of the total sum, is for the Trenton North plant and will increase the plants workforce by 298 jobs. This new influx of workers will make increased production possible.

The Dart has been picking up popularity since it was first unveiled last summer. Chrysler seems to be getting ready for not only more and more Darts to be wanted by the driving public, but also for the engine to see use in many of their upcoming catalouge. One step closer to seeing what they have planned.
