'''Chrysler Cordoba. 1975–9 (prod. 666,553). 2-door coupé. F/R, 318, 360, 400 in³ (V8 OHV).''' Effectively a B-body (e.g. [[Plymouth Satellite (1971–4)]]) coupé with a restyle making it look more upmarket, designed to capture slice of personal–luxury market occupied by [[Chevrolet Monte Carlo]] and [[Pontiac Grand Prix]]. Developed as [[Plymouth]], but [[Chrysler]] had more upmarket potential—making it a “small” Chrysler by 1970s’ standards. First models before 1978 facelift considered fairly good-looking by American Chrysler standards, promoted with memorable campaign by actor Ricardo Montalbán, who purposely pronounced ''Córdoba'' in the Anglicized way (‘&#64257;ne Corinthian leather’ is still quoted from the TVC). Strong sales for &#64257;rst three years; dropped dramatically thereafter. Usual 1970s touches such as opera windows optional, as was 300 package recalling earlier Chrysler letter-series cars. Thirsty and too large certainly by its last model year, though it still has plenty of fans. Twinned with [[Dodge Charger (1975–8)]].
