{{Multiple issues| {{No footnotes|date=December 2018}} {{One source|date=December 2018}} }} [[File:1956 Chrysler Windsor Nassau with hood cracked open 02 (cropped).jpg|thumb|1956 Chrysler Windsor Nassau]] '''Nassau''' is the name used by several vehicles made by [[Chrysler (division)|Chrysler]]. The name was first used as a trim level in 1955, denoting the least expensive two-door hardtop offered by Chrysler, which was part of the [[Chrysler Windsor]] series.
More recently, two different concepts by the manufacturer bear the Nassau nameplate.
==2000 Nassau== The first Chrysler Nassau concept was a styling exercise penned in 2000 by Chrysler designer Robert Hubbach. The resulting vehicle became a working model used by engineers and stylists to eventually create the [[Chrysler 300]] sedan, introduced in 2005. As with many recent models from Chrysler, very few exterior details were lost in the translation from concept car to production vehicle. One notable exterior difference between the Nassau and 300 are taillamps that wrap over the rear fenders, similar to the treatment on [[Cadillac CTS]] [[sports car|sport]] [[sedan (car)|sedan]].
The 2000 Nassau styling mule was housed in the [[Walter P. Chrysler Museum]] before the museum's permanent closure in 2016.
==2007 Nassau== {{Infobox automobile |name = 2007 Chrysler Nassau Concept |image = Chrysler-Nassau-concept-DC.jpg |manufacturer = [[Chrysler (division)|Chrysler]] ([[DaimlerChrysler]]) |class = [[Full-size car]] |body_style = 4-door [[shooting-brake]] |layout = [[FR layout]] |engine = 6.1L Chrysler ''[[Chrysler Hemi engine#6.1|Hemi]]'' [[V8 engine|V8]] |transmission = 5-speed [[automatic transmission|automatic]] |length = {{convert|196.1|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} |width = {{convert|74.2|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} |height = {{convert|58.9|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} |wheelbase = {{convert|120|in|mm|1|abbr=on}} |weight = |platform = [[Chrysler LX platform]] |designer = [[Alan Barrington]]<br />Ben Chang |related = [[Chrysler 300]]<br />[[Dodge Charger (LX)|Dodge Charger]] }} In late 2006, [[Chrysler|DaimlerChrysler]] announced that it would show another [[concept car]] carrying the Nassau name, this time at the 2007 [[North American International Auto Show]]. Described by Chrysler as a 'four-door [[coupe]]' (however, it is a [[shooting-brake]]), it was speculated to be a design exploration for the next-generation Chrysler 300 and [[Dodge Magnum]]. The concept was equipped with a 425 hp (315 kW) 6.1 L V8. It was designed in Chrysler's Pacifica Advanced Design Studio in southern California by Alan Barrington (exterior) and Ben Chang (interior).
