Summary
The book is a richly detailed biography of Walter P. Chrysler (1875-1940), the founder of the Chrysler Corporation. The author, Vincent Curcio, traces Chrysler's career from a railroad mechanic to his rise as an automotive industrialist. It covers the formation of the Chrysler Corporation in 1925, the development of the 1924 Chrysler car, the building of the iconic Chrysler Building in New York City, and how the company managed to be profitable through most of the Great Depression. The biography is based on extensive access to both company and family historical records.
