The auto industry’s pioneers offer some very interesting history. Today, we’ll dig a little into the story of Walter P. Chrysler and his humble beginning.
In 1925, Chrysler bought the assets of the failing Maxwell Motor Co. to form his own company. The last successful Maxwell model was called the Chrysler Six, so when Maxwell Motors reorganized, the name was changed to Chrysler Corp. with guess-who as its president and board chairman. This issue’s featured vehicle is a 1964 Plymouth Valiant Signet 200 convertible, the top of the line. Roger Rush, of Alameda, is the car’s second owner. The former owner had one condition before he would sell — Rush had to promise he wouldn’t turn this car into a hot rod.He paid the man $1,500 for the car and has kept his promise.
