Chrysler was founded on June 6, 1925 in Detroit by automotive executive Walter P. Chrysler. Its most notable cars include the pioneering Airflow sedan (1934), the “Letter Series” 300C performance coupe (1955), the retro-styled PT Cruiser (2000), and the family-minivan Pacifica (2016). Today, as the U.S. passenger-car arm of Stellantis, Chrysler concentrates on the Pacifica and Voyager, selling through roughly 1,200 North American dealerships and maintaining steady minivan deliveries within a competitive crossover-dominated market. Known for breakthroughs—hydraulic brakes in the 1920s, Hemi V8 engines in the 1950s, and early adoption of front-wheel drive—Chrysler’s century-long legacy blends innovation with enduring design icons.
