Chrysler Centura

The Chrysler Centura is a midsize car which was produced by Chrysler Australia between 1975 and 1978. It was based on Chrysler Europe's Chrysler 180 model, but was also available with larger Australian-made Hemi Six engines. 19,770 Centuras were built. The engineer charged with the design of the Chrysler 180, on which the Centura was based was Tony Wheeler, the founder of the Lonely Planet Guides. He now resides in Footscray, a suburb of Melbourne.
