Product Description: Founded in 1924 by one-time railroad mechanic Walter P. Chrysler, Chrysler the car actually preceded Chrysler the corporation. With roots entwined with several pioneering automakers and industries, Chrysler made it possible for Detroit to become the Motor City. Featured here in over 200 vintage photographs is the heritage of one of Detroitís most renowned automakers. ÝÝChrysler Heritage: A Photographic History follows the fortunes of the company, its founders, and its products for over a century. Through its acquisition of Dodge and the introduction of Plymouth and DeSoto, Chrysler rose quickly. Renowned for its advanced engineering, it surpassed mighty Ford Motor Company for second place in sales after GM in 1933. Showcasing photographs from the Chrysler archives along with in-depth captions, this new book captures the muscle of Detroit, including the corporationís unparalleled involvement in the Second World War and the Cold War.

This is a nice collection of photos representing Chrysler history from the first Chrysler in 1924 to the PT Cruiser of 2000 with a few pre-Chrysler photos thrown in for good measure. A good basic history.

This book is great with many rare pictures of the great cars that Chrysler, Dodge, DeSoto and Plymouth built from the inception of the company. A must have for anyone who loves these cars. My wife and I have a fully restored 1940 Chrysler Royal Coupe and enjoyed the book immensely.
