Founded on June 6, 1925, by Walter P. Chrysler, the Chrysler Corporation swiftly emerged as one of Detroit’s “Big Three” automakers, alongside Ford and General Motors. The company’s success was built on a foundation of engineering innovation, introducing groundbreaking features such as four-wheel hydraulic brakes, rubber engine mounts to minimize vibration, and the first mass-produced high-compression engine. Throughout the mid-20th century, Chrysler expanded its influence by acquiring Dodge Brothers and launching brands like Plymouth and DeSoto. Its commitment to research resulted in the development of the iconic Hemi V8 engine and the industry’s first practical alternator.

Despite its early triumphs, Chrysler encountered numerous financial crises, most notably in the late 1970s and 2009, both of which necessitated federal bailouts to prevent collapse. Under the leadership of Lee Iacocca in the 1980s, the company embarked on a historic turnaround by introducing the K-car platform and pioneering the minivan—a vehicle segment it continues to dominate today with the Chrysler Pacifica. Following a series of ownership changes, including a “merger of equals” with Daimler-Benz and an acquisition by Fiat, Chrysler became a subsidiary of Stellantis in 2021. As of 2026, the brand is focused on an electrified future, evidenced by the recent unveiling of concepts like the Chrysler Halcyon.
