Description / Abstract:
Foreword
Those familiar with the history of Chrysler will recognize that
the starting date of 1922 shown in the title of this book is
obviously prior to the June 6, 1925 date when Chrysler Corporation
was incorporated and even prior to the January 1924 date when the
first production Chrysler car was shown to the public. The reason
for this is that there were two serious efforts, described in the
text, to build and market a Chryslernamed car that preceded these
events. Had either effort been successful, the car would have
emerged around the 1922 model year. Although unsuccessful, these
efforts did play a key role in bringing the right people together
at the right time to lay the foundation for the successful entry of
Chrysler Corporation into the automotive arena.
