In 1875, Walter Chrysler took his first breath. This is where the origins of Chrysler begin. Walter Chrysler’s father was a locomotive engineer. The apple did not fall far from the tree.
Walter Chrysler burst on the automotive scene in 1924 with the Chrysler Six. A pioneer of the 1920s, the Six came with a flat six-cylinder engine and the first four-wheel hydraulic brakes. A high compression engine means more energy and higher efficiency. Chrysler is only warming up in this stage.
Early Years of Chrysler
Early on in 1925, Chrysler won the 1,000-mile Stock Car Speed Trial and in 1928, placed 2nd, 3rd, and 6th at the Belgian Twenty-Four Hour Grand Prix. Also in 1928, Chrysler acquired Dodge Brothers becoming one of Detroit’s Big Three.
Chrysler was the first to use Floating Power, replaceable oil filters, one-piece curved windshields, and downdraft carburetors, as well as the first to test and produce a unit-body, aerodynamic car. Chrysler also had America’s longest-running automobile nameplate, the Chrysler New Yorker, produced between 1938 and 1996.
Let’s fast forward to 1951. This is where the V8 Hemi was born. The legendary engine that produces an unholy amount of power.
With the acquisition of Dodge and the birth of the Charger and Challenger, Chrysler would move itself to the forefront of American automotive.
