Artifact Overview

Good branding is an important asset, and automakers often reuse established names. Chrysler first used "LeBaron" in the 1930s for its top-of-the-line luxury model. The name reappeared on a mid-size model in the 1970s. By 1986, "LeBaron" designated the premium version of Chrysler's front-wheel-drive K-car.
