Along with Ford and GMC Company, Chrysler cars is one of the “Big Three” – the biggest automobile companies in the United States and Canada. Chrysler sells vehicles all over the world, as well as handles three more brands like Dodge vehicles, Jeep automobile, and Ram.
The company was founded in 1925 by Walter Chrysler. A year before this, he debuted the first Chrysler automobile. It was an automobile geared with six cylinders and was designed to give its user an unconventional, well-developed car, but in a more affordable price. This first model has a high compression engine, carburetor air filter, oil filter, and a full pressure lubrication.

Three years after, Chrysler started to divide their vehicle lineup according to function and their price class. On the low-priced products, they introduced the Plymouth brand, for the medium-priced field, they debuted the DeSoto brand. For the truck products, they launched the Dodge and Fargo brand.
In 1955, Chrysler, together with Philco, the pioneer manufacturer of battery, television, and radio in America, pronounced the production of the first all-transistor car radio. This feature was a $150.00 option when purchasing the 1956 Imperial car models. More innovation come crashing in after two years when Chrysler announced the production of the first electronic fuel injection.

Being one of the “Big Three”, Chrysler have already sold over 1.8 million vehicles in 2012 – the fourth leading in sales count preceded by Ford, Toyota, and GM. On the worldwide scale, Chrysler is the 11th biggest vehicle manufacturer as classified by OICA in 2012.
These numbers were reached most probably because of Chrysler’s lifetime powertrain warranty. They have also upgraded their marketing strategies in 2008 and introduced the “Let’s Refuel America”, a campaign that guarantees new Chrysler owners to buy gasoline in a very cheap price of only $2.99 for three whole years.
