Sometimes it's good to take a look back at history, so we can appreciate the things we have around us now. With that hint towards Thanksgiving, here is an unrelated look back at the history of Chrysler, complete with some impressive auto pictures:

"That first Chrysler was the foundation of the company's early success. It was designed with instrumental assistance from three superb engineers: Fred Zeder, Carl Breer, and Owen Skelton, the "Three Musketeers" who would dominate the design of Chrysler Corporation products throughout the '30s.
Power came from a high-compression 202-cubic-inch L-head six with seven main bearings and 68 brake horsepower -- 0.3 bhp per cubic inch, outstanding for the day. Also featured were four-wheel hydraulic brakes (well ahead of most rivals), full-pressure lubrication, attractive styling, and competitive prices around $1500. It couldn't miss, and it didn't. By 1927, production was up from 32,000 to some 182,000."
