Chrysler Heritage - A Photographic History

Founded in 1924 by one-time railroad mechanic Walter P. Chrysler, Chrysler the car actually preceded Chrysler the corporation. With roots entwined with several pioneering automakers and industries, Chrysler made it possible for Detroit to become the Motor City.

Featured here in over 200 vintage photographs is the heritage of one of Detroit's most renowned automakers. This book follows the fortunes of the company, its founders, and its products for over a century.
Through its acquisition of Dodge and the introduction of Plymouth and DeSoto, Chrysler rose quickly. Renowned for its advanced engineering, it surpassed mighty Ford Motor Company for second place in sales after GM in 1933.
Showcasing photographs from the Chrysler archives along with in-depth captions, this book captures the muscle of Detroit, including the corporation's unparalleled involvement in the Second World War and the Cold War.

Maxwell Motor and the Making of the Chrysler Corporation

Maxwell Motor, often overlooked in automotive history, played a pivotal role in the early 20th-century American automobile industry. This book sheds light on Maxwell's significant contributions and innovations. Notably, the Maxwell was the first popular car with front engine placement, three-point suspension, shaft drive, and early thermo-syphon cooling.

Yanik meticulously traces Maxwell's evolution from the early Maxwell-Briscoe years (1903-1912) to the Maxwell Motor Company era (1913-1920) and concludes with the Maxwell Motor Corporation years (1921-1925). The narrative delves into the leadership of influential figures such as Jonathan Maxwell, Benjamin Briscoe, Walter Flanders, and Walter P. Chrysler. It explores the business decisions, corporate mergers, and the eventual formation of the Chrysler Corporation in 1925.

Drawing from primary sources like automotive trade journals, writings of key figures, and Chrysler archives, Yanik provides a comprehensive study of Maxwell's impact on the automotive industry. "Maxwell Motor and the Making of the Chrysler Corporation" fills a void in automotive scholarship, offering valuable insights into the early development of the automobile industry.
