Chryslers

Chryslers are passenger cars produced by Chrysler, an American automaker with a history dating to the early 20th century. The Chrysler brand arose when Walter P. Chrysler helped reorganize Maxwell-Chalmers into Chrysler Corporation in 1925, creating a mass-market company focused on affordable, reliable vehicles. Early Chryslers helped establish the company as a major U.S. producer and featured engineering and styling innovations for their time. The lineup expanded from small and mid-sized sedans to convertibles and larger models, and the brand introduced the Airflow in the 1930s, notable for its aerodynamic design.

In the postwar era, Chrysler grew its range with luxury and practical models. The Imperial line became the flagship luxury division, while family-friendly models and, later, minivans broadened the brand’s appeal. The Town & Country minivan, introduced in the 1980s, helped define the modern minivan segment and reinforced Chrysler’s focus on versatile family vehicles. Over the decades, Chryslers encompassed a variety of bodystyles and performance options, reflecting changing market demands.

Chrysler underwent several corporate changes. It merged with Daimler-Benz in 1998 to form DaimlerChrysler, experienced financial difficulties during the global crisis, and filed for bankruptcy protection in 2009. The company emerged from restructuring and joined with Fiat to create Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in 2014, a relationship that was later reorganized under Stellantis in 2021. Today, the Chrysler brand operates within Stellantis, maintaining its identity as a maker of family-oriented models and continuing the legacy of Chryslers across its history.
