Chrysler

Chrysler is one of four brands operated by Chrysler Group LLC, which emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2009. Ownership is currently shared between the U.S. and Canadian governments, a trust controlled by the United Auto Workers union and Italian automaker Fiat. Founded in 1925 by Walter P. Chrysler, Chrysler is the only one of the Detroit 3 automakers to have ever been controlled by a foreign company, the first being Daimler-Benz from 1998 to 2007 and now Fiat.
