I just did a search for Chrysler TC and added to the first thread I came to. Probably not ideal. Sorry!

Yep, both very unforgettable vehicles.

In the sense of completely forgettable?

Those Cadillacs were made in Italy by Pininfarina.

According to Wikipedia, the bodes were indeed made in Italy by Pinninfarina, but then flown to Detroit for assembly.

"The Allanté bodies were designed and manufactured in Italy by Pininfarina and were shipped to the U.S. for final assembly with domestically manufactured chassis and engine, eventually leading it to be referred to as "the world's longest assembly line." Specially equipped Boeing 747s departed from Turin International Airport with 56 bodies at a time."

Yes, my bad should have said forgettable. Spell check strikes again.

To be fair Pininfarina have been involved with some dire styling over the years with various Brands.

Not just Pininfarina all the Italian styling houses have horrors they would prefer would stay buried

Can't they sell the diesels and SUVs in FIAT showrooms.............?

Like ford with the SUV they're calling a mustang it's all about moving boxes ,maserati can sell a chrysler in an Italian party dress where the same car with a fiat badge on would sell for far less.

Some of us would prefer to forget these ever existed. I remember the TV commercials with scheister Lee Iacocca (head of Chrysler at the time) talking them up. It was.... cringeworthy.
I wish I could find the original commercial online somewhere, but no luck. Did find some great resources to read up on this fiasco, if you're interested.

Of course, the Ghibli GT, before Ferrari started tinkering, is the last true Maserati
