Chrysler Celebrates 100 Years at Carlisle Nationals

The 2025 Carlisle Chrysler Nationals is shaping up to be one of the most exciting events of the year for Mopar fans, and Chrysler is showing up in a big way to celebrate its 100th anniversary. The three-day event, held from July 11 to 13 in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, will feature a mix of historic Chrysler vehicles, rare concept cars, and interactive displays, all honoring a century of American innovation.

Chrysler Brings Its Past, Present, and Future to Carlisle – 

You’ll find Chrysler’s massive setup front and center on the manufacturer’s midway. Still, the real action kicks off inside the Carlisle Expo Center, where Chrysler will showcase some of the most important vehicles in its history. This isn’t just a random collection of old metal—these are milestone cars that helped shape the brand and the entire industry.

Here’s a closer look at what’s coming:

1924 Chrysler Six – This is the one that started it all. One of five pre-production prototypes, it marked the brand’s debut after Walter P. Chrysler took over the old Chalmers plant in Detroit. Chrysler still owns this actual car, making it a rolling piece of American automotive history.

1934 Chrysler Airflow – Love it or hate it, the Airflow was bold. It was the first car to use wind-tunnel testing, setting the stage for the streamlined look of modern vehicles. It didn’t sell well in its day, but it changed car design forever.

1955 Chrysler 300 – Dubbed the “banker’s hot rod,” this was Chrysler’s entry into performance luxury. With 300 horsepower, it was the most powerful production passenger car in America at the time—and the beginning of the legendary 300 series.

1963 Chrysler Turbine Car – Easily one of the most unique cars ever put on the road. Powered by a jet engine and built in limited numbers by Italian coachbuilder Ghia, this Turbine Bronze beauty was loaned out to regular folks across the country for real-world testing. Just a few survive today.

1995 Chrysler Atlantic Concept – A jaw-dropping concept car with a long nose, teardrop fenders, and classic ‘30s French styling. It never made it to production, but it proved that Chrysler could dream big—and turn heads doing it.

Chrysler Halcyon Concept – The latest vision for Chrysler’s future. This electric, autonomous concept embraces sustainability and the brand’s new “Harmony in Motion” design philosophy. Think clean lines, seamless tech, and zero emissions.

Chrysler CEO Chris Feuell to Speak Live –

On Friday, July 11, Chrysler Brand CEO Chris Feuell will appear on the main stage for a Q&A session with event emcee Mike Garland. Expect an open conversation about where Chrysler has been and where it’s going next, including its bold EV plans and how the brand fits into Stellantis’ broader vision. It’s a rare opportunity for fans to hear directly from the person shaping the next century of the Chrysler brand.

Get Hands-On with the Stow ‘n Go Challenge –

One of the most fun parts of Chrysler’s presence this year is the Stow ‘n Go Challenge. If you’ve ever owned a Chrysler minivan, you know how brilliant this feature is. If not, now’s your chance to find out. Visitors can compete to see how fast they can fold the second- and third-row seats into the floor of a 2025 Chrysler Pacifica. It’s a timed event, with prizes on the line—and bragging rights, of course.

Introduced for the 2005 model year, Stow ‘n Go transformed the minivan game by letting families convert their seating layout in seconds. Since then, Chrysler has sold over 5 million minivans with the system. Even when the seats are upright, the underfloor bins offer tons of storage. It’s still the gold standard for family hauling, even 20 years later.

2026 Chrysler Pacifica 100th Anniversary Edition Makes an Appearance – 

Also on display will be the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica 100th Anniversary Edition, fresh off its debut at Detroit’s Belle Isle in June. This special edition celebrates Chrysler’s centennial with some stylish upgrades:

• “Est. 1925” wing badge decal

• Luster Gray polished wheels

• Semi-gloss Granite Crystal fascia and grille trim

• Exclusive Granite Crystal Chrysler grille badge

It’s a classy way to honor the brand’s heritage while showing off what a modern Chrysler family vehicle can be.
