Chrysler TC by Maserati

The Chrysler TC by Maserati is a two-seat convertible made by Chrysler / Maserati in Italy from 1988 to 1990 (1989–1991 model years). Its weirdest quirk: It's an Italian-built Maserati joint venture that you can barely tell apart from the much cheaper LeBaron it shares parts with.

A Chrysler–Maserati collaboration that took five years, was built in Milan, cost a fortune and looked almost exactly like a Chrysler LeBaron.
