Chrysler founded Chrysler in 1925 with a straightforward mission: deliver advanced engineering at an accessible price. Over one hundred years later, that commitment still defines every vehicle to carry the name. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f9/94/f99452cd-a930-4f25-894c-20551819444a/content/images/2026/02/130797589_10158956751434485_7364526952343172848_n-2.jpg) 1924 Chrysler Six - Media [Stellantis North America](https://www.facebook.com/StellantisNA/photos/the-first-chrysler-the-1924-chrysler-six-featured-two-significant-innovations-a-/10158956751429485/) ## American Automotive Progress The 1924 Chrysler Six was the first vehicle to carry the Chrysler name. It was developed by Walter P. Chrysler as part of his reorganization of Maxwell Motor Company and debuted at the January 1924 New York Auto Show. It was a significant vehicle for its time, offering features like hydraulic brakes and a high-compression engine that most competitors couldn't match at its price point. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f9/94/f99452cd-a930-4f25-894c-20551819444a/content/images/2026/02/1934-chrysler-airflow-1.jpg) 1934 Chrysler Airflow - Media [Stellantis North America](https://www.facebook.com/StellantisNA/photos/the-first-chrysler-the-1924-chrysler-six-featured-two-significant-innovations-a-/10158956751429485/) The 1924 Chrysler Six launched the brand. The 1934 Chrysler Airflow followed, America's first full-size aerodynamic production car. The Airflow arrived years ahead of consumer expectations, and sales suffered as a result. But its aerodynamic principles became standard practice across the industry within a decade. Chrysler later built the legendary HEMI V-8, the engine platform that defined American performance cars for generations. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f9/94/f99452cd-a930-4f25-894c-20551819444a/content/images/2026/02/1984_Plymouth_Voyager_rt_frnt_color.jpg) 1984 Plymouth Voyager - Media: [Stellantis North America](https://embargoed.stellantisnorthamerica.com/image-gallery.do?method=adhoc&mid=166&imageIds=,13493,13123,519,656&title=1984%20Plymouth%20Voyager%20Minivan:%20The%20Garageable%20Revolution%C2%A0&ref=verydriver.com) Chrysler invented the modern minivan in 1984, creating an entirely new market segment. Each decade brought a new benchmark, a new technology, or a new idea that competitors would spend years catching up to.
