1989 Chrysler Corporation Airbag Copmmercial

Chrysler was the only car company in 1989 who had airbags on all cars they assembled in the USA. That didn't include Imports like the Colts and Eagle Talon or The Eagle Premier built in Canada

Didn't they user autobelts INSTEAD of airbags in the Premier/Monaco?

@Goldenrod636 yep

This commercial is not true. The K-cars were still around in 1989 (their final year), but without airbag. However the M-body (Fifth Avenue/Diplomat/Gran Fury) sedans had them (in their last year as well). The Omni/Horizon got one in 1990, their final year.

@R36Coach not sure about this but I think the loophole is the word "US" . Some of the cars made in Canada didn't have air bags, for example, the Eagle Premier or Dodge Monaco. I could be wrong but the K cars were made I think in Windsor Ont. Canada.

all US cars did not have airbags by 1989. alot of US cars didn't even have them till mid-late 90's. GM was one of the latest to put airbags in its cars. but all cars sold in the US by 1998 where required by law to have dual front airbags. with the exception of some "exotic" cars, truck, and work vehicles.

@evinrudeboy6601 Yes, the 1997 Wrangler TJ(finishing development process) and the facelifted 1996 Grand Cherokee got them in late 1995.

@Skyscraperman2000 You mean 1981.

@hoteliwinshowcases In 1991 for the upcoming 1993 Dodge Intrepid and other LH platform cars debuting at the January 1992 NAIAS. Those are the first Chryslers to have dual airbags.

So NOW they realize they really need airbags and in somewhere around 2006 and 2007, they build side curtain airbags. I have one question, when did they build the front passenger airbag?

[R36Coach]

@OsbornTramain In '89 M-bodies were built at the AMC plant in Kenosha, K-cars at Detroit (Jefferson Av), Newark, DE and Toluca, Mexico. Omni/Horizon was built at Belvidere, IL.
