Chrysler Celebrates Its 100th Birthday with a Special-Edition Minivan
Few people likely view a minivan as a solid birthday gift, but Chrysler is celebrating its 100th anniversary with one. The automaker is commemorating the milestone with the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica 100th Anniversary Edition, which features exclusive styling elements and unique color options.
The van offers grey exterior accents and unique Chrysler badging, as well as Luster Gray polished wheels. Three colors are available, including Red Hot, Bright White, and Hydro Blue, and buyers can choose between front- or all-wheel drive Pacifica models as the base vehicle.
Inside, the Pacifica offers a 10.1-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Chrysler fits Stow ’n Go seats in the second row. Other standard features include power-sliding side doors and a power liftgate.
The 2026 Chrysler Pacifica starts at $42,465, and the 100th Anniversary Edition costs $44,390 to start. The Pacifica Hybrid costs $51,070, and adding the 100th Anniversary package pushes the starting price to $52,565. The anniversary model will become available for orders this month ahead of its release later this year in the U.S. and Canada.
In addition to the Pacifica, Chrysler is hauling a range of historic vehicles to an event in Bell Isle, Michigan, to celebrate its birthday. The list includes a 1934 Chrysler Airflow, a 1963 Chrysler Turbine, and a 1976 Chrysler Cordoba.

If I was Chrysler I wouldn't be bragging about this. They haven't had a new model since 2016. They need to expand the brand or shut it down. If they do I'm sure they can reassign the two employees they have. They must be tired of playing solitaire by now. Wish that Stellantis would just give Chrysler/Plymouth brand to Chrysler's grandson for a dollar.
Pacifica remains my favorite all-purpose vehicle. Agreeable ride/performance, compatible seat comfort, ergonomics are spot on, and Stow-N-Go is lovely. When my 2017 was totaled, I should have replaced it with a new Pacifica. Until then, it is my first choice for a rental, whenever the chance occurs.
