Chrysler History
Maxwell Motor Company, Inc., owing some $43,000,000 was on the verge of bankruptcy and Walter
P. Chrysler, who had retired as President of Buick and vice-president of General Motors, was asked
to head-up a reorganization committee, which arranged for the purchase of the combined assets of
Maxwell and Chalmers -- and formed Maxwell Motor Corporation, effective May 1921. Mr. Chrysler
became Chairman of the Board.
In 1923 Walter Chrysler brought Fred Zeder, Owen Skelton and Carl Breer into the organization, as
the nucleus of a new Engineering Department - and while continuing to build the Good Maxwell at
Highland Park, commenced production of pilot models of the Chrysler Six in the Jefferson Ave. Plant.
The Chrysler Six was introduced to the public in January 1924 during the National Auto Show in New
York City, where it was very favourably received, getting off to a good start with production of 32,000
units in the first year.
Vehicle Range:
Passenger - 300C sedan, 300C Touring, PT Cruiser, Crossfire, Sebring sedan
People movers - Voyager, Grand Voyager
Chryslers First Car:
After his first car is denied entry at the 1924 New York Auto Show, Walter P Chrysler parks his
prototype for the 1924 Chrysler Six in the lobby where it is seen by passing investors and exhibitors.
It becomes the first affordable car with 4-wheel hydraulic brakes and a 6-cylinder engine, the most
powerful of its time.
