After vowing for years that "there would never be a small [[Chrysler]]", the company was forced to rethink its position after the first fuel crisis of 1973-74 that severly crippled big car sales, [[Chrysler]] in particular taking a huge hit. So for 1975, the new "small" '''[[Chrysler]] Cordoba''' was born (if you can call an 18 foot car with a 115" wheelbase weighing nearly 4000 lbs "small", but compared to [[Chrysler]]'s other mastodon-sized cars of the day, it was). An interesting bit of trivia about the Cordoba is that it was originally destined to be a [[Plymouth]] before ultimately becoming a [[Chrysler]] model. It was Chrysler's first foray into what was called the "personal luxury car" group. Its styling was clearly inspired by [[General Motors]] (the [[Chevrolet Monte Carlo|Chevy Monte Carlo]] in particular), but it was also a good looking car in its own right and it was initially a huge hit (and a much needed success for [[Chrysler]]). Some may remember Spanish actor Ricardo Montalban hawking the Cordoba in TV commercials, stating "THIS... is my kind of car" - and who could forget the "fine Corinthian leather" (whatever "Corinthian" was supposed to mean is still a mystery).

Here's a rundown from year to year:
