As the automotive world continues its paradigm shift towards electric power and autonomous driving, more legacy automakers are forming alliances to prepare for the large investment of money and technology necessary for survival. Like many businesses over time, mergers and attrition weed out the smaller concerns leaving a few, or even one, to fulfill the needs of the consumer. And so it is with Chrysler cars.

The automaker that carries the surname of Walter Chrysler was created from the remains of Maxwell Motor Co. in 1925. Throughout the years, Chrysler has formed or accumulated brands like Dodge and the now defunct Plymouth, Desoto and Fargo trucks.
