I would pull headlight bulbs from the Pacifica, but I know that is a stretch. Especially since ChryCo never used H7 bulbs in anything domestically designed/produced prior the the Damiler 'merger'.
I have no doubt that ChryCo got to use the old hand me down and created their own body.
A perfect example of this in reverse is the old 'TC'. Try to find anything on that car that is Maserati other than the emblems. The complete drivertrain in that was ChryCo to the core. Want to upgrade the brakes or suspension, steal it from the Daytona Shelby!
I really don't care if the Crossfire is a knock off SLK or a custom Chrysler. It is something unique that you will probably not see from them again for at least another 10-15 years, provided they make through the next 1-2 years.
I'm glad something happened from the DC 'merge', but I'm glad MB is gone for the most part. I think they came in and destroyed what was a good and unique car company.
