Chrysler Models & Warranties

    Chrysler, one of the top three automakers in the United States, had its beginnings in 1925 by a man named Walter Chrysler, who was brought in by the Maxwell Motor Company, which was struggling. Chrysler pulled this company out of its struggles with the Chrysler 70, which debuted in 1924 and featured a carburetor air filter, oil filter and high compression engine not found in other automobiles. This launched Chrysler into the limelight by itself.

    Chrysler Brands

    After being in the car market for several years, Chrysler split off into several different brands. The Plymouth brand began in 1928 to cater to the less expensive car market. DeSoto released at the same time for the middle market. Dodge followed in the late 1930s. By the late 1950s to early 1960s, Chrysler released two other brands: Imperial and Valiant. In the late 1980s, Jeep and Eagle joined the brand. Chrysler was bought by Daimler-Benz in the late 1990s, but this purchase lasted less than 10 years when Daimler-Benz sold to Cerberus Capital Management.

    Innovations

    Chrysler has long prided itself on innovations in automobiles. Like the Chrysler 70 that contained features found in no other cars, Chrysler was first in many other ways. In 1934, Chrysler released the first aerodynamically designed car. However, this design was before its time and wasn't successful. During the 1950s, Chrysler introduced its now famous "hemi" engine, as well as fuel injection and power steering, making vehicles easier to drive. Throughout the history of Chrysler, it has been well known for its larger vehicles, which caused the company to take a big hit when gas prices rose in the early 1970s. Chrysler became known for its innovative minivans and K-cars in the 1980s.

    Financial Trouble

    Whereas Chrysler is the third largest automobile company in the United States, it has long been plagued by money troubles. Because of the size of the vehicles and the increase in gas prices, the company faced bankruptcy in the late 1970s. However, the company was able to convince President Carter to bail the company out for $1.5-million. This bailout allowed Chyrsler to create new vehicles and spring itself back into competition. The bailout was paid off within seven years and Chrysler turned around financially for the time being. After it was bought by Daimler-Benz, the company suffered more financial hardship, laying off 26,000 workers and stalling six plants. Daimler-Benz sold out several years later in 2007. By 2008, President Obama again came to the rescue, bailing out the company for $4-million. The company still had to file for bankruptcy in 2009, despite the bailout.
