[[Walter P. Chrysler]] founded Plymouth Motor Corporation in 1928. The first car was the [[Q model]], which sold as a 1929 model. It was built in the [[Highland Park]] facility, which [[Chrysler (Company)|Chrysler]] received from the purchase of the [[Dodge Brothers]] earlier that year. Plymouth was designed to be an entry-level automobile, competing primarily with Ford and Chevrolet.

+
Walter P. Chrysler was a native of Kansas, and cut his teeth on railroading. He was the son of an engineer on the Kansas and Pacific Railroad, and was always fascinated by machinery. As a young man, he built his own working railroad model, machining his own tools in the process. When he was 17, he signed on at the Union Pacific shops as an apprentice, for a nickel an hour. Mechanical engineering became young Walt Chrysler's life, not his profession.
  
The [[Q model]] was the first in its class to offer [[hydraulic brakes]] as standard equipment along with a 45 [[horsepower]] 4-cylinder [[engine]]. The bodies were also mounted on rubber mounts to help eliminate vibration.  
+
After he got his journeyman's certificate, he took a job in the Rio Grande & Western roundhouse in Salt Lake City. He got married and began studying with the International Correspondence School. He steadily moved up through the industry.
  
Plymouth franchises were originally available to [[Chrysler]] dealerships exclusively, but in 1930, became available to [[Dodge]] and [[DeSoto]] dealers as well. This expanded the Plymouth franchise to well over 10,000 outlets. [[Walter P. Chrysler]] turned the presidency of the Plymouth Motor Corporation over to [[F.L. Rockelman]], while maintaining his chairmanship of the [[Chrysler Corporation]].  
+
After a bit of time, the superintendent of motive power of the whole Chicago & Great Western system was a new man named Chrysler. "W.P." they called him. During his Great Western period Mr. Chrysler lived in Oelwein, Iowa. His mechanical curiosity was piqued by the new ‘horseless carriages’ he’d see traversing the town streets.
  
In 1931, Plymouth introduces “[[Floating Power]]”. Using flexible rubber mounts in a 2-point engine mounting system; the vibrations from the top-heavy four-cylinder engine are kept from being felt in the frame and body. The slogan “Smoothness of an Eight, the Economy of a Four” was used to tout this development.  
+
He went to the 1905 Chicago automobile show, where he saw a beautiful auto that he had to have. It was called a ‘Locomobile’. The price was $5,000 cash. Chrysler had only $700 in the bank, but that did not hold him back. He borrowed $4,300 and shipped it home. He spent months with his first car, tearing it down and reassembling it several times before he even learned to drive it! Chrysler decided that when the time was right, he would need to improve these things.
  
1932 brought the 6-cylinder to the Plymouth line for the 1933 model year. Walter Chrysler believed that a 4-cylinder engine was the answer for a low priced car, but having a 6-cylinder meant prestige to car buyers, so Chrysler gave them what they wanted. This development put Chrysler in Second place for vehicle production for the first time, right behind Ford. Plymouth was the only automaker in the year to show a sales increase over the previous year. This 6-cylinder was to remain in production form October 1932 until the end of production of the 1959 model year cars. Plymouth introduced the longer wheelbase [[PD]] and [[PCXX]].
+
At 33, machinist/manager WP joined on with the American Locomotive Company, where he swiftly rose through the ranks. He was assigned to the position of Assistant Works Manager at the sprawling ALCO Pittsburgh plant, which he quickly transformed into a moneymaker. It was in this position that WP was first noticed by one of the directors of ALCO, James J. Storrow, who would soon the president of General Motors.
  
In 1934 the one millionth Plymouth was sold. All the separate corporations, [[Dodge Brothers]] Corporation, [[DeSoto]] Motor Corporation, Plymouth Motor Corporation and Chrysler Motor Corporation, became division of Chrysler Corporation in 1935. This move allowed Chrysler to streamline production of the various lines, and allow for it to sell rebadged Plymouths as other Chrysler products to overseas markets.  
+
James Storrow, the president of GM, remembered the young Chrysler, and introduced him to Charlie Nash, then the president of Buick. After touring the Buick works, Nash could offer WP only $6000 a year, half of WP’s $12000 a year ALCO salary. Chrysler did not even hesitate! He immediately accepted the Buick position.
  
1937 brought the production of the two millionth Plymouth and introduction of the [[Plymouth Truck]]. This truck was based on the Dodge [[chassis]]. Competition in the truck market was intense, including from Dodge, and the line was discontinued after the 1941 model year.
+
It was 1911, and Walter P. Chrysler was in the automobile business!
  
1939 brought the production of the three millionth Plymouth. Plymouth was also first in this year to introduce a vacuum powered [[convertible]] top. 1941 brought to an end the 7-passenger sedan, and was the year the 4 millionth Plymouth was produced.
+
Over the next few years, WP built Buick into a power to be reckoned with, with Nash at the helm. In 1916, however, William Crapo Durant used the power of his upstart Chevrolet Company to leverage the presidency of General Motors. Nash would not be welcome under Durant, and Nash and Chrysler were a team.
  
== Post War ==
+
Nash purchased another auto manufacturer, in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and created the Nash Motors Company, which would later become [[American Motors Corporation|American Motors]]. It was assumed that Chrysler would join him at the helm of this new company.
  
The 1942 models were discontinued due to the war with production plants being used to turnout war goods. Plymouth dealers were asked to sell [[accessories]] like radios to people who had purchased cars without them. The news from the war was in much demand.  
+
Durant had other ideas, however. He offered WP a salary of $10,000 a month, plus a yearly bonus of half-a-million dollars, in either GM stock or cash. Chrysler accepted, on the condition that he be allowed to run Buick with no interference from other GM companies. WP was now the president of Buick Motors, a job he would hold until 1919, when friction between Chrysler and Durant would come to a head. By 1919, WP had earned $ 10 million worth of GM stock, which he surrendered to GM for cash. Chrysler would eventually use this money to seed his own automobile company.
  
Car production resumed in 1946, with warmed over models from the 1942 model year. However, Chrysler executives chose to move the company to production of military electronics after the war and left the automotive divisions on their own. This chaos left the divisions to compete, no only with Ford, Chevrolet, Pontiac, etc, but also amongst themselves. Plymouth survived the post-war period to about 1950 solely on war-starved demand and the brisk post war economy. 1948 produced the five millionth Plymouth and the sixth millionth Plymouth crossed the doors of the assembly plant in 1950. During this post-war period, people began to move away from the stogy solid reliability of the anvil shaped car to more racy stylish cars. People also wanted options, such as [[power steering]], [[power brakes]], [[power windows]], [[automatic transmission]]s and more powerful engines.  
+
The only thing WP Chrysler lacked at this time was experience in automotive finance. In 1920, Willys-Overland found itself in financial trouble.  John N. Willys had created Willys Corporation as a holding company and proceeded to acquire such firms as Wilson Foundry, Curtiss Aeroplane, Moline Plow, Electric Autolite, New Process Gear. Chase Securities Company had millions tied up in the Willys situation, and hired Walter Chrysler to get their money back.
  
In 1951, material shortages due to the Korean Conflict, caused Plymouth, as well as most automobile manufacturers, to reduce the amount of steel used in automobiles. [[Sheet metal]] was thinner, braces removed, and fasteners were fewer and further apart. The Chrysler board decided that if production were to be curtailed that Plymouth would get axed, even though Plymouth was the third largest automaker. Plymouth marked the building of its seven millionth automobile in 1951. Plymouth during this wartime started falling back, becoming the little brother to the other divisions. Being considered a low cost auto, it failed to receive the promised new engines, transmissions and other upgrades that they were scheduled to get during this period.  
+
WP thus became executive vice president at a salary of one million a year.  While there, Chrysler came across plans to develop a new Willys Six at the former Duesenberg plant in New Jersey. After determining the new car was inferior to its proposed competitors, Chrysler ordered a new car be developed.  To head the new project, Carl Breer, Fred Zeder and Owen Skelton were hired. The new car was to be the Chrysler Six. The Willys Corporation went into receivership in 1921 and Chrysler tried to purchase the plant and car at a receiver's sale but was not successful.  W.C. Durant had the successful bid and the new Chrysler Six was reworked to become the Flint 55.
  
With the end of the Korean War, 1953 brought some restyling and downsizing to Plymouth. Bodies were shared with Dodge, beginning the trend of Plymouths becoming “stripped” down Dodge automobiles. In the summer of 1953, Ford and Chevy started a sales blitz, pushing cars out as fast as they could be produced. Plymouth tried to keep up, but got no production help from the other divisions. Plymouth barely kept its third place position. The eight millionth Plymouth was produced in the 1953 model year as well.  
+
During the same time period, WP agreed to help Chase Securities at Maxwell Motor Company, a firm that owed Chase $26 million. Chrysler improved the Maxwell, there were thousands of unsold cars, and sold them off at a profit of $5 per car. Maxwell and Chalmers were merged into one firm and WP became president of the new firm in 1923.
  
The 1954 models were a disaster for Plymouth. Being short of options, and not having a v8, Plymouth sales fell. The [[semi-automatic transmission]] was carried over from the 1953 model year, and its reliability was questionable. Power steering was added 3 weeks after the model year started. The production slide did not go unnoticed, and late in the production year, Plymouth management made available the first fully automatic transmission in a Plymouth. As the traditional spring car-buying season approached, Plymouth was dealt another blow by a wildcat strike by the [[United Auto Workers]] at the [[Mack Avenue]] plant that idled production for a week. No sooner was this strike settled, when another wildcat strike shut down the [[Lynch Road]] facility, cutting production again. The 1954 model year was so bad; that Plymouth fell into fifth place in auto production, behind the likes of Buick and Oldsmobile. Also 1954 Plymouths were used to demonstrate a new [[turbine engine technology]], as a 1954 Plymouth [[Belvedere]] became the automobile with this technology.

During 1923 Breer, Skelton and Zeder were hired to develop a new car to replace the Chalmers.  The result was the Chrysler [[Model B]], appearing in January, 1924.  It was dubbed the Model B in memory of the stillborn Chrysler designed at Willys.

Within the [[Maxwell]] Motors framework, the new Chrysler replaced the Chalmers and Chrysler began gaining control of the company.  Sales were strong and in June, 1925 the [[Chrysler (Company)| Chrysler Corporation]] was formed to takeover the Maxwell company.  In the summer of 1925 the new 1926 models were introduced with the Maxwell reworked to become the [[Chrysler Four]].  The [[Chrysler Six became the [[Chrysler 70]] and a new [[Chrysler 60]] was introduced along with the [[Imperial]], model 80.

Dave's 78 Magnum

BK (short for Big Kahuna -- a name friends gave him back in the early 90s) is the Administrator of MoparStyle, which he started in 2001. He's a semi-retired business executive/owner who now spends with his family, drag racing, and maintaining a slew of web sites and a gaggle of collector cars.

Childhood Eldest of five boys and three girls who grew up in poverty living in a 2 bedroom apartment. Born in Michigan, but moved to Texas in 1961. Moved again to New Jersey in 1966, New York in 1970, and back to Texas after completion of Military service. Grew up with very little supervision, as his family was so large. His father always worked three minimum wage jobs concurrently, and his mother was too overwhelmed to keep up with all of the kids by herself -- so Dave pretty much grew up on the streets -- getting into a lot of trouble with the law as a kid. He always had a job of some type as a kid, from paper routes to washing dishes.

Education He was a D/F student until leaving high school by mutual agreement at 16. Later attended various colleges in the evenings under the GI Bill, with a focus on business and computer science

Military Service Dave enlisted in the USAF in 1972, shortly after turning 17, and was the youngest to be serving at the time he arrived to Basic Training in San Antonio, Texas. He spent three years active duty driving trucks, and exchanged his last year active for two years Active Reserves (under Palace Chase) to teach others to drive trucks. Dave spent the next ten years attending college in the evenings under the GI Bill. He is a service connected Vietnam Era disabled Veteran.

Employment Career After he completed his military service, he (in order) drove taxi, Tractor-trailer, and dump truck; laid blacktop, roofed, and repo'd vacuum cleaners; was a bill collector, a carpet cleaning salesman, and a draftsman; a postage equipment repairman, a mailroom equipment salesman, and a computer repairman; a computer salesman, Executive VP of two large collection agencies, and owned a collections agency; owned a distress debt buying business, a software company, and a web hosting company; owned an race engine building company, and he now designs web sites. Dave and his eldest son (Dallas) recently started a Motorcycle Tour business by the name of Texas Motorcycle Excursions.

Favorite Quote A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage.

Collaborate & Edit
Collaborate
To collaborate is for many people to work together to create a finished product. It is not necessary for any one person to complete and entire MoparWiki on his own, nor is it necessary for a MoparWiki to be completed in one sitting. It works best when people improve the MoparWiki one section of the wiki at a time.


Edit
Editing for grammar and style is just as important as giving the facts and stating references. People who know nothing of Mopars can still help us out if they have a better command of the English language than many of those who are improving the MoparWikis. If you stumble across a MoparWiki with typos, misspellings, and grammatically incorrect -- please help out with a quick edit to correct.
