Here are some more information for Dodge Plymouth Chrysler:
Chrysler is discussing an alliance, maybe a full merger, with larger rival General Motors, which has problems of its own. They've both been clobbered by tight consumer spending, and the trend to small gas sippers. Chrysler sales are down about 25% from a year ago. The Renault-Nissan alliance is also interested, proposing a 20% stake in Chrysler, and integration with the Japanese-French partnership. The company is years late joining the hybrid bandwagon, finally offering the Dodge Durango hybrid this year. Still dependent on large gas guzzler SUV's.
Ten years ago the company sold itself to Daimler Benz, the legendary German auto maker. Together they would create an automotive superpower. It was a bad dream that never happened. Daimler Benz never made the necessary investment in developing new models, and the company is now suffering. Just like in the early seventies, when the company was caught by the OPEC induced gasoline shortage unprepared. Building the gigantic Imperial and New Yorker models, powered by a 440 cubic inch V8 that nobody needed, it nearly sunk the ship back then.
In 1999, the company introduced the PT cruiser, an innovative retro design which was a modest success for a few years. About three years ago the all new Chrysler 300 sedan was introduced. This revival of a late sixties brand was also successful, even used by limousine companies. The old Dodge Charger muscle car brand was also revived. This sports sedan has been bought by some police departments. Both of these were all-new designs.
This year the company took a bold step by reviving the old Dodge Challenger muscle car from the late sixties. The new Challenger is almost identical to the old one, which was not a big seller back then. Sales of it's bread and butter minivan models, the Dodge Caravan and Chrysler Town and Country, peaked in 2000, and have been sinking ever since. Four months ago it closed it's minivan plant near St. Louis. The adjacent pickup truck plant is down to one shift. The Jeep plant in Ohio, and a Delaware SUV plant are also closing. The discontinuing of it's historic Plymouth brand should have been taken as an omen of things to come. In 2009 the company received millions of dollars in a government auto industry bailout, went into bankruptcy, and was bought by FIAT motors of Italy. The Chrysler dealers were shut down, and Dodge dealers will now sell Chryslers also. It's too early to judge how all this will affect the future of Chrysler.

2009 Chrysler Minivans: Cutting Edge Technology Means Better Fuel Economy
It was 25 years ago this Fall when the Chrysler Corporation shook up the automotive industry by introducing a trio of small vans, dubbed minivans, for its Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth brands. The Chrysler Town & Country, Plymouth Voyager, and Dodge Caravan were instant hits, helping Chrysler to carve out a new automotive segment and defining the term “people hauler” in the process.
Today, Chrysler still leads in this important segment, offering two models: the Dodge Grand Caravan and the Chrysler Town & Country. Both minivans seat seven passengers and are powered by a 4.0L V6 engine that is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The transmission, new for 2009, is the first of its kind: the only six-speed automatic available on a minivan.
The new engine-transmission pairing has given the automaker a needed boost, by providing best in class fuel economy of 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway. "Chrysler and Dodge minivans continue to lead the segment," said Larry Lyons, Vice President - Car and Minivan Product Team, Chrysler LLC. "With an improved 4.0-liter six-cylinder engine and a minivan-first six-speed transmission, no other minivan has better fuel economy. We optimized both the engine and the transmission to give our customers the fuel economy they want, and the power and responsiveness they expect."
Chrysler has managed to hold firm in the minivan market even while Ford and General Motors exited the segment. The Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna are its chief competitors, but Chrysler still holds 40% of the market, with the Dodge Grand Caravan continuing as the best selling minivan on the market. Since it was first introduced, Chrysler has sold more than twelve million of its minivans.
When it comes to passenger safety, the Chrysler and Dodge minivans are at the top of their game, receiving five-star crash test certification for front and side impacts. Both minivans have been technological leaders down through the years, by offering Swivel 'n Go seating, minivan-first dual DVD players and uconnect studios SIRIUS Backseat TV with family programming channels that include Nickelodeon, Disney Channel and Cartoon Network Mobile, and best-in-class aerodynamics, Cd of 0.33.
For 2009, a third version of the Chrysler minivans is now available, the Volkswagen Routan, a vehicle which shares the same platform, engine and transmission as its Chrysler and Dodge cousins. However, the Routan uses a unique suspension and the minivan has its own interior and exterior to help differentiate the model from its American competitors.

Plymouth Acclaim matching doors.?
I have a 1993 plymouth Acclaim, and I need new doors, driver side rear and front, and I was just wondering what other years of the Acclaim would match, and what other cars from Dodge, Chrysler, etc. would also fit.
call a wrecking yard, they usually have a manual that will cross reference the applications..
