To most Americans, Chrysler is as iconic as apple pie. Founded in 1925 by Walter Chrysler, the company emerged as one of the “Big Three” automakers in the U.S., alongside Ford and General Motors. Its innovations and designs, from the Airflow of the 1930s to the minivans of the 1980s, left indelible marks on the American automotive landscape. However, in 2014, a monumental shift occurred.
Chrysler merged with the Italian automaker Fiat, forming Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). With this merger, a quintessentially American brand intertwined its legacy with that of a European giant, reflecting the increasingly global nature of the auto industry. Under this transatlantic partnership, FCA has navigated modern challenges, while honoring both companies’ storied histories.
