Chrysler: The Life and Times of an Automotive Genius by Vincent Curcio
Requirements: .PDF reader, 50 mb
Overview: An account of one of the most important men in American automotive history, based on full access to both Chrysler Corporation and Chrysler family historical records. Chrysler emerges as a man who loved machines, an accomplished mechanic who also had highly developed managerial skills derived from half a lifetime on the railroads, a man whose success came from his deep understanding of engineering and his total commitment to the quality of his vehicles. Vincent Curcio traces Chrysler’s rise from a locomotive wiper in a Kansas roundhouse to the head of the Buick Division of General Motors, to his rescue of the Maxwell-Chalmers car company, which led to the successful development of the 1924 Chrysler – the world’s first modern car – and the formation of Chrysler Corporation in 1925. Chrysler was quite different from the other auto giants – a colourful and expansive man, deeply involved in the design of his cars, a maverick in establishing his headquarters in New York City, in the world’s most famous art deco structure, the fabled Chrysler Building, which he built and helped to design.
