An American automotive brand founded by Walter Chrysler in 1925. Known for luxury and performance vehicles, now part of Stellantis.
Named after founder Walter Percy Chrysler (1875-1940). The surname Chrysler is of German origin, possibly derived from 'Kreisler' meaning 'one who draws circles' or related to administrative roles.
Walter Chrysler started as a railroad mechanic who was so fascinated by cars that he bought one just to take it apart and understand how it worked. That curiosity led him to build one of America's Big Three automakers!
