Starting next month Chrysler will begin production on another 500 models, bringing the number of Pacifica Hybrid models Waymo has is 600 models.

carrying band equipment

Minivans may have the soccer mom reputation, but they are actually fairly popular among bands, too. To quote the movie Step Brothers, with Stow n’ Go seating and storage system in both the Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Pacifica there is “so much more room for activities!” A band doesn’t need an expensive truck to get their band members and all of their instruments to the next show, the 7-8 passenger seating and Stow ‘n Go seating and storage system in the Grand Caravan and Pacifica offers plenty of room.

Instrument Size

We will get to how much cargo space the Pacifica and Grand Caravan have, but before that here is a quick look at the average size of popular instruments.  

  • Full-size acoustic guitar: 40 inches long
  • Full size bass guitar: 30-34 inches long
  • Basic drum set: 10-inch and 12-inch toms, 14-inch floor tom, 22-inch bass drum 14-inch snare drum, 12-13-inch hi hat cymbal and 15-18-inch crash cymbal. Cymbals each have adjustable stands which can be a couple feet when dismantled.

Van Space

Now that you know the basics when it comes to instrument size, let’s talk van space. Both the Chrysler Pacifica and the Dodge Grand Caravan have three rows of seating. The Dodge Grand Caravan has a seven-passenger seating configuration and the Chrysler Pacifica is available with a seven- or eight-passenger seating configuration.

Additionally, both The Chrysler Pacifica and Dodge Grand Caravan are equipped with the Stow ‘n Go seating storage system, which comes with extra storage space in the floor, either for seats or anything else. Read the rest of this entry >>

cars fromt he Chrysler museum

So many awesome cars have had a home at the Walter P. Chrysler museum over the past 18 years, but unfortunately all good things must come to an end. The Walter P. Chrysler museum is officially closed and the building is being turned into office space. The museum was home to over 60 classics and its displays and collection of cars covered 50,000 square feet. In honor of the awesome museum and the vehicles it held, here are some of our favorites.

1943 Willys-Overland Jeep MB

This one of our favorites because it shows the history and evolution of Jeep. Before the Wrangler name, the vehicle was known as Willys-Overland Jeep MB. This vehicle was produced purely for military use from 941-1945. After that, the production of the civilian Jeep (Jeep CJ) was produced and it paved the way to the Wrangler as we know it today. The particular Willys Jeep in the museum had a 2.2-liter Willys Go Devil 1-4 engine that produced 60 horsepower and 105 horsepower.
