So it is with CHRYSLER

If you are referring to the Chrysler Marque I think you are forgetting the Chrysler Pacifica which remains in production. In fact I am ordering my next new 2024 Chrysler Pacifica in a few weeks as soon as the code guides are available. This extremely fine automobile can be had in 2 wheel FWD, AWD and even Hybrid. And people I know who have the Hybrid love it because they don't have to depend on the Battery at all. The 3.6 L V-6 is a world class performing engine.

The premature cancellation puzzles me also especially since the Challenger outsells the Mustang, But be that as it may the SUV Chrysler will apparently rise perhaps as early as 2025 we are told and it continues to make the show circuit as an Airflow badged EV. In preparation for that eventuality ( I hope not!) and while I had my electrician on site I had him install a level 2 -48 amp Juice Box charging station on the wall of my garage.

But while we are talking Chrysler history let me point out that even Henry Ford shut down all production in 1927 for development and tooling of the Model A. People jumped off the bridge back then also with many individuals buying several Model T's to put up on blocks in the barn. Did they feel foolish when the Model A debuted?

You done good, Morice. Since the files are high-resolution I was able to zoom in and rotate as necessary to read the interesting Obituary. Thanks for posting it.

Significantly, 2023 also is the end of the marque, for a little time, anyway. Damn near made 100 years. I'd think smart marketers would put out a centennial edition. I'm still waiting for a Chrysler 300 front clip on a Dodge Challenger chassis as a super 300. Tan leather interior and only available in three colors. Platinum, Tango Red and Raven Black.

Poor old Walter P. Chrysler is probably spinning in his grave.

Chrysler was first founded on June 6, 1925 by Walter Chrysler, when the Maxwell Motor Company was reorganized into the Chrysler Corporation.
It was originally hired to take over and overhaul Maxwell Motor Company in the early 1920s. But in January 1924, they launched the Chrysler 70, their first-ever car. This 6-cylinder vehicle was designed with advanced technology at an affordable price. Features included a high-compression engine, an oil filter, and a carburetor air filter, as well as four-wheel hydraulic brakes and rubber engine mounts.

RIP. It was a good run. Save your Bitcoins, the marque will rise again.

Due to my lack of skills regarding some of these digital matters, I am crudely sending out this article about the end of the Chrysler 300 from the August 28, 2023 issue of Automotive News. It would be up to you to enlarge the images on your device or computer.
Thanks,
Guy Morice
