Two companies dominated the car market between 1920 and 1930 in the U.S.: Ford and General Motors. On the one hand, the Ford T was produced, utility model, which should withstand the fierce competition of the many GM models, but in 1924, made it a new name: Chrysler. By the end of the decade, the new company had made no fewer than four brands, of which the price online was the most famous Plymouth. Was so successful that in 1936, the products of the Chrysler had overtaken Ford in the public acceptance and, consequently, the firm remained solidly in second place during the sixteen years later. But in the decade 1950-1960 buoyant, began the decline of Chrysler Ford and GM to resume fighting from their twenties. Chrysler managed to halt its decline somewhat during the seventies, imitating its rivals and creating large factories in Europe.

Chrysler is currently experiencing a strong business.
