1990 Dodge Monaco Dealership Training Video – Features
In 1987, Chrysler bought the assets of American Motors, mostly for the Jeep brand. However, along with Jeep came the new Eagle brand of cars, which were a mix of models designed and produced by Renault and Mitsubishi Motors. As part of the purchase, Chrysler agreed to purchase a set number of Renault drivetrains for use in the Eagle Premier.
It soon became obvious to Chrysler management that there was no way that the Premier alone would sell in sufficient numbers to meet the requirements of the Renault contract. Chrysler needed to find a way to take care of this problem as quickly and cheaply as possible. Company executives soon figured that the only way to fulfill their obligation was to create another model using as many Premier parts as possible. MORE

The best part, “this disc”, this is from a Laserdisc! I love this site.
Haha, heck yeah it was a laserdisc!
If chrysler made the coupe,which was being developedbefore the buyout than maybe they would’ve sold more.But of course it would’ve helped the most if it had a dedicated dealer system,good service departments that knew what they were working on.But anyways enough on my views.
AWESOME LUXURY DODGE MONACO FROM 1990 😀
The first sentence of this article is very inaccurate. Saying that Chrysler bought the Assets of AMC implys the company was bankrupt. which couldn’t be further from the truth. Chrysler bought Renaults 57% share of the company and then went to the Stock Market and made an offer to buy the rest of the shares. AMC was profitable with gigantic sales forecasts related to Jeep. Chrysler also bought AMC because they wanted this platform. What this article leaves out is that Chrysler only built Front Drive cars with sideway mounted engines, they didn’t have longitude mounted engines with front and rear interdependent suspensions which was what everyone had which left Chrysler at a disadvantage, the costs to develop that platform was more expensive than buying AMC. This car served as the building block to make the LH series of cars which propelled Chrysler thru the 90’s and into the new millennium.
