Editorial Reviews

Product Description
In the past few years, Chrysler has consistently made headlines with a series of dramatic new show cars, exciting production vehicles like the Prowler and Viper, and its mega-merger with German juggernaut Daimler-Benz. It is generally accepted that Chrysler is the most forward-thinking of the Big Three American automakers, yet the company also has a wonderfully compelling past. Just in time for Chrysler's 75th anniversary, this beautifully illustrated history takes readers on a journey from the company's genesis in the 1920s to the present. Marvelous archival black-and-white photography is accompanied by new color photographs of showroom-quality classics, period color photos, and print advertisements. The story also includes coverage of models from Dodge, Plymouth, and DeSoto, while sidebars highlight key figures and stunning feats of engineering and styling.

5.0 out of 5 stars A well done and concise history of the Chrysler Corporation., August 13, 2003
By A Customer
If you're looking to give a history buff or general car enthusiast an interesting and detailed, but concise, book on the history of the Chrysler Corporation, this one is a good choice. Dennis Adler does an excellent job in describing the impact that Chrysler, and its divisions, have had on the world from the company's founding in 1926 to its merger with Mercedes Benz that led to the creation of Daimler Chrysler. He acieves this by describing each era important to the company's history through eloquent written word and superb photographs. Anyone who is a fan of Chrysler or simply likes cars in general would really appreciate this book. If, however, one were looking for a book with more specific detail into the company's history, it would be hard to do so in anything less than a full-length novel. Furthermore, if it is an individual vehicle from Chrysler that one is into, then this probably isn't the right book, especially if that person is looking for detailed technical information on specific vehicles. This is a book of history, not a technical manual that you would find at Pep Boys.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Coffee Table Book, August 11, 2001
By A Customer
This is a nice coffee table book but short on content if you are looking for any real information on the history of Chrysler and the related marques.

You can't cover all that history in a large print book with a few color photos. I was looking for production numbers, VIN codes, engine information. Almost none of that here.

If you are buying a gift for a Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth or DeSoto fan, this is not the book. They will already know more than you find here. If you want a few excellent photos and not much content, this is your book.
