Design

The design was based on the 1987 concept Lamborghini Portofino. The Portofino was heralded as a design triumph, setting in motion Chrysler's decision to produce a production sedan with the Portofino's revolutionary design, called "cab-forward". The cab-forward design was characterized by the long, low-slung windshield and relatively short overhangs. The wheels where effectively pushed to the corners of the car, creating a much larger passenger cabin than the contemporaries of the time. 1987 (MCMLXXXVII) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The first generation lasted until 1997; the Concorde was completely redesigned for 1998. The Concorde Limited, which was 4" longer than the standard Concorde, debuted in 2002 to replace the nearly identical Chrysler LHS. The Concorde, along with the Intrepid, saw its last year of production in 2004. The Chrysler 300M (which replaced the Eagle Vision in 1999) was also discontinued that year.

Year-to-year changes

First generation

• 1994: For this year, the touring suspension became standard. Also, base engines gained 8 hp, and a 3-seat front bench seat became available. Power steering added more assist, to reduce turning effort for parking but deliver greater feel at higher speeds.
• 1995: Not much changed this year except for a modification to the optional remote keyless entry system and the addition of a cancel feature to the cruise control.
• 1996: There were little changes for 1996, however, extra sound insulation and revised structural engineering promised to make the Concorde quieter.
• 1997: The only major change for this year was that on the base LX model, the 3.3 L V6 was dropped as the standard engine.

Second generation

• 1998: The Concorde was completely redesigned for the 1998 model year.
• 1999: Suspension revisions were the major change for 1999; it was softened to enhance ride comfort and reduce road noise. Thicker carpeting was installed inside, and a new standard cargo net went into the trunk. The LXi package added a CD player and Chrysler's Sentry Key theft-deterrent system, which disabled the ignition unless the proper key was used to start the engine.
• 2000: For this year, a sunroof could be installed on the base model as well as the upscale LXi. The Concorde also earned additional suspension changes designed to provide a quieter, smoother ride. Tires grew to 16 in for the LX, to match those of the LXi. The LXi edition gained standard speed-sensitive, variable-assist steering, as well as an optional 4-disc in-dash CD changer.
• 2001: Optional front side airbags and a 3-point safety belt for the rear seat's middle position were added for 2001. The LX's 22D option package now included alloy wheels. Also, the LXi's optional Infinity sound system gained steering wheel-mounted controls.
• 2002: Adopting the body of the discontinued Chrysler LHS, a trim level was added, the hyper-luxury Limited for 2002. At midyear, Limited models got an optional Pro-Am Edition Group that included 2-tone leather upholstery, unique interior trim, matching chrome rimmed spare tire, a set of Taylor Made golf clubs (irons only), a special leather/suede Chrysler golf bag, exterior 'Pro-Am' appliques on the exterior rear windows, and a 'Pro-Am' trunk organizer for holding the clubs and other golf paraphenalia
