	Chrysler
		Chrysler had a policy of continuous engineering development, and 1925 saw the introduction of a new vibration dampener that was friction driven by a hub on the crankshaft for even smoother engine performance.
		Chrysler was introducing the new “forward look” around this time; designs influenced by aircraft designs, and the introduction of tail fins.
		Chrysler also introduces the 45RPM automotive record changer with 14 record capacity.1962 was the release of the new B bodied car line.

	INNOVATION IN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
		Chrysler was forced to seek assistance from the federal government in the form of loan guarantees.
		Chrysler faced problems of assimilating the AMC employees, who came from a different corporate culture, into its own organization; there was also resentment among some senior managers who had been opposed to the AMC purchase.
		Although Chrysler invested half the capital for the Diamond-Star assembly plant, management of the plant was the sole responsibility of Mitsubishi, a company well-versed in the modern manufacturing management principles of continuous improvement, consensus management, discovery of root causes of failure, and just-in-time inventory control.

	Plymouth Reliant, Dodge Aries, and Chrysler LeBaron: the K-cars
		Chrysler seemed determined to bring turbocharging to the masses during the 1980s, a trend that in this present era of more sophisticted fuel injection and electronic controls has not persisted.
		The K's boxy shape was functional; in a shot at the Japanese competition, Chrysler ads boasted that the K's front and rear benches seated "six Americans." The trunk was decently sized.
		The K platform spawned almost all of Chrysler's products for the 80s, and sales of the car were strong enough to bring Chrysler back from the brink of bankruptcy.

	Chrysler's minivan metamorphosis
		Chrysler makes a big deal of "leapfrogging" the competition, and even sent a '96 minivan hurtling through space and landing on a lilypad when it unveiled the new model at the North American International Auto Show in January.
		Chrysler selected windshield wipers using an "opposed" pattern for a cleaner sweep, and built in an electric grid at the bottom of the windshield glass to keep ice from accumulating on the wipers.
		Chrysler's careful blend of these two key ingredients in its '96 minivans could be the brew to beat for another decade.

		The "K" platform proved though to be so versatile and durable that from its introduction in 1980 (I believe), to the final "K" based platform in 94, so many parts are interchangeable, as to surprise most.
		This simple platform was the basis for the G-27 project which debuted as the 1984 Dodge Daytona and the Chrysler Laser.
		Most of the platform is "K" based, but stretched a bit to better accomodate the addition of the V6 motors.

	Chrysler USA history
		The Chrysler Six brims with innovations never before offered on a medium-priced car, including the industry's first high-compression engine with aluminum pistons, detachable cylinder head, vacuum fuel feed, full-pressure lubrication seven-bearing crankshaft, carburetor air cleaner, a replaceable element oil filter and Lockheed four-wheel hydraulic brakes.
		The Chrysler 300s hemi V-8 is updated to 355 horsepower with a 10: 1 compression ratio - one horsepower per cubic inch of displacement.
		1984: Chrysier's remarkably versatile "K" platform is the basis for a series of spin-off vehicles, including a totally new type of family transportation, the front-wheel drive Chrysler minivan, or Magic Wagon.

	Chrysler K platform - Free net encyclopedia
		Chrysler even advertised the K-Cars as a group, using the term in publications, and put "K" badges on some models.
		The rest of the group had different platforms based on the K. The famed Chrysler minivans were also based on the K platform to a lesser extent.
		It should be noted that Chrysler often reused platform designations; thus the E platform based on the K cars was unrelated to the company's E platform of the early 1970s.

	New Car Review: 2005 Chrysler 300C
		Chrysler had recently competed in La Carrera Panamerica, the famed Mexican Road Race, and suspension pieces developed for that were used with little modification.
		The transition from the previous full-size front-drive LH platform to this new one is as significant as the transition from the old K platform to the LH over a decade ago.
		Chrysler estimates at ten to twenty percent increase in fuel economy, and indeed, I found the 300C to be most efficient for a car of its size and power.

		The Chrysler minivan, too, was born of necessity, a variation on the K-car platform pushed by Lee Iacocca as a spark to ignite the company's way back from the brink of bankruptcy.
		Chrysler gave us the front-drive van because Chrysler had a front-drive platform, the K-series that became Reliant and Aries.
		Meanwhile, Chrysler kept improving the minivan, eventually abandoning the K platform and designing a really good, competent, user-friendly series of stylish vans.

		Chrysler was working on quality before the takeover, yielding the PT Cruiser - which seems to be beating the Honda Civic on quality surveys - and the Jeep Liberty, which is also doing very well.
		Chrysler products have quirks which most mechanics don't seem to be aware of, leading them to replace transmissions when the fault is in a 20 cent vacuum hose, or to replace the engine computer instead of plugging in a hose or changing a sensor.
		Chryslers are often seen as ordinary American cars (unlike makes which many mechanics will admit they are not familiar with) -- but what will work on a GM or Ford will often not work on a Dodge.

	Chrysler's TC by Maserati
		Chrysler had gone shopping: they had increased their share in Maserati; they had purchased Lamborghini outright; and, not quite so peripherally as it might seem, had purchased AMC/Jeep (and a connection, no matter how tenuous, with Renault, who had finally decided not to bring in the Alpine A310 V6 turbo).
		It is not to be confused with the Getrag internals used in the Chrysler case in the late Turbo II applications.
		Chrysler is going to grant, to a limited number of superior Chrysler/Plymouth dealers, a separate TC franchise, and if the car were called "Chrysler," they would not have been able to do so.

		The Chrysler 300C is a blend of the past and the present, of style and substance.
		As Chrysler celebrates the 50th anniversary of the legendary Chrysler 'letter series', the Chrysler 300 sports a particularly striking design, with a long, classic hood and a prominent grille.
		The V8 engine used for the Chrysler 300C is smaller, lighter and uses technologies such as electronic throttle control and MDS to give an outstanding performance with improved fuel economy.

	Dodge Spirit Pictures from Car Picture Gallery
		The Dodge Spirit was introduced in 1989 as the midsize sedan to replace the Dodge 600 and Lancer, and was similar to the 1990 to 1995 Chrysler LeBaron sedan and the Plymouth Acclaim.
		It was based on the Chrysler A platform, a stretched variation of the Chrysler K platform.
		This was only one of many refinements to Chrysler's lineup of front wheel drive sedans, the most significant having been the introduction of their new-for-1989 "Ultradrive" (also known by its codenames: A604 and 41TE) 4-speed automatic transmission, paired specifically with the V6 engine.

		Chrysler Motors Corp. doesn't sound any trumpets, but it drops some not-sosubtle-hints that major new product moves are afoot for the early 1990s, including a possible competitor for - now get this - the Chevrolet Corvette.
		Chrysler Motors has exclusive rights to the Garret technology for at least two model years, says Floyd E. Allen, Chrysler Motors' chief engineer, Powertrain Systems Engineering.
		While labeled merely as a backgrounding session, Chrysler officials seem eager to give all of this higher significance, and they bristle at the notion that it represents only evolutionary technology.
