Chrysler

Walter Chrysler launched his namesake company on June 6, 1925, in Detroit, transforming the struggling Maxwell Motor Company into a lean, engineering-driven automaker. Within a decade, Chrysler introduced the groundbreaking 1934 Airflow, the first aerodynamically styled production car, and pioneered the HEMI V8 engine, setting new standards for power and performance. The brand’s bold design philosophy and technical innovation cemented its reputation during America’s automotive golden age. In the 21st century, Chrysler refocused on the family market, pioneering minivan design with the Town & Country in 1984 and evolving it into today’s Pacifica, which leads its segment in safety and technology. As Stellantis seeks to reinvigorate the marque, Chrysler is poised to expand beyond minivans with the all-electric Airflow concept and a fully electrified lineup by 2028, blending heritage with a vision for sustainable mobility.
