Every true car enthusiast will be able to bond with Dave Floyd as he documents
his restoration of a long-neglected 1948 Chrysler New Yorker to showroom
condition. An intimidating task, yes, but Dave's lifelong love of the great
cars from his childhood years gave him the strength to turn back the hands
of time for one very special New Yorker. Fascinating reading that just
might motivate you to do the same with your favorite vintage car!

Revealing the grittier side of the man credited with saving Chrysler Corporation
in the eighties, Levin shows that Lee Iacocca's public image wasn't necessarily
real. Not fully understanding the new global economy, Iacocca almost drove
Chrysler back into bankruptcy with poorly-designed products. Iacocca's
personal extravagances and unprofessional management style are also revealed.
Quite illuminating and timely reading, considering Iacocca's connection
with Kerk Kerkorian and their failed attempt to takeover Chrysler.

The story of Carl Breer and two other team members who worked together
for 35 years, from 1916-1951, when the auto industry was in its infancy.
The book covers Breer's youth, then focuses on the team as it designed
automobiles for Studebaker and Chrysler. Includes b&w photos from Breer's
private collection, and great insight into many innovations of the era.

Take a journey from Chrysler's early days in the 1920s to the present.
Beautifully illustrated with black and white photography as well as new

literature collection.

An exhaustively detailed book covering all aspects of this great marque.
Includes many photos from the archives of models that were built, and many
that could have been. Some of the details in this book aren't consistent
from model year to model year, but if there's an Imperial in the garage,
this book should be on the bookshelf.

Written to celebrate Chrysler Corporation's seventy-fifth anniversary,
Vincent Curcio's chronicle of Walter P. Chrysler follows Chrysler from
his birth in 1875, through his days as a Kansas railroad mechanic, the
commissioning of the art deco Chrysler Building to house the New York head-
quarters of the automotive giant he built, to his death in 1940. Praised
by his peers as "one of the world's best men," this book is a
must-have for Chrysler fans.

Robert A. Lutz is the former President of Chrysler Corporation, and his
book explains how he almost completely overhauled the company to save it
from financial ruin. When Lutz arrived in 1986, the company had lost $800
million in one year. With no federal money to bailout the company as in
1979, Lutz promoted individual creativity, and gave employees the freedom
to design and build cars that would turn the company around. Lutz retired
from DaimlerChrysler, and became chairman and CEO of Exide Technologies
Corp. In August 2001 he was headed for a top position at GM.

A collection of factory, studio, and on-the-road photographs and illustrations
of Chrysler's prestigious Imperial. Comparison photos of the Imperial and
Lincoln Continental for 1965 and 1966. A great resource for Imperialists,
with many detailed interior and exterior photographs.

This autobiography is very easy to read, written in an anecdotal style.
Chrysler doesn't address rumors, nor does he give merit to accusations
about himself; he simply tells the story of his life and of his beliefs.
Chrysler was an advocate of research and development; he felt they were
essential elements to the success of a company. You really feel as if you
know this man when you finish the book. His story of driving his first
car is quite memorable!

This book is full of surprises, as the author interviewed Chrysler executives
such as Bob Lutz and Tom Gale to get the inside scoop on what it took to
get a design into production, and what caused them to pass on it. Lots
of full color photos and sketches. Very informative!
