MotorTranskript
00:00So Mr. C.R. the groundwork for generations to come with his emphasis on advanced technology design just really being a leader in all aspects of the industry.
00:12So while concept cars most people think they just look cool and they're neat to see at the auto show, um there's really a purpose behind them.
00:33It's to allow our designers and engineers to team up work together and bring out advancements.
00:38Whether it's components for the concept cards that are new to the industry or the look of the vehicle is new.
00:45It allows them to do fun stuff, whether it's the headlights or the tail lights or even a door handle.
00:51All of those may make it into production cars.
00:57It all started with the 1934 Airflow, the first production car to be designed using a wind tunnel.
01:03Actually worked with a Willeber W to build the wind tunnel in the scale models.
01:06That vehicle was innovative in the fact that it had a tubular steel frame.
01:11They distributed the weight differently than other automobiles.
01:14They moved the front axle forward and the rear axle back to give it a better ride.
01:18They called it scientific engineering at the time.
01:20So, you know, the Airflow was considered the first modern vehicle.
01:23That's how they advertised it and it was different than anything else anybody was building.
01:27We get in the 1940s and 1941, they brought out two limited production vehicles, the Newport and the Thunderbolt.
01:37Thunderbolt was interesting because it was the first vehicle to have hidden headlights.
01:42You push the button and the headlight doors open.
01:44You push the button and the vehicle started.
01:46That was totally new.
01:47Nobody did that.
01:48Well, everybody does it now, but Triars did it in 1941.
01:51Had a one-piece retractable hardtop.
01:53Nobody had ever done that before.
01:55Now, these things didn't necessarily make it production.
01:58The hidden headlights did in the 1942, but it was a chance to give our engineers and designers an ability to step out to think to to make advancements.
02:08In the 1950s, we had Virgil Exner and designer.
02:12So, Virgil Exner came in and I started designing a whole series of concept vehicles.
02:18It was important because a lot of these design cues actually made it into the production vehicles and they still resonate today.
02:24It started with the Cryer K310, then they did the Chrysler Special, which is an interesting story code.
02:30Gia of Italy built the bodies for these vehicles.
02:32They were designed here in the United States.
02:34So, they built 43 Chrysler Specials and they were only sold in Paris except for one that came to the United States, which we're fortunate enough to have in our collection.
02:43What's funny is Mr. was doing these smaller concept cars, but he is also responsible for all the later 1950s designs.
02:51Basically, the Finns, the forward looker and the birth of the Finns on cars really came from Mr. Exner.
02:56Started very small in 1955 on the Chrysler 300s and New Yorkers.
03:01U got a little bit bigger in 1956 and then 1957 put the largest pins on the vehicles.
03:10In the 1951 we brought out power steering.
03:13In 1952 power brakes, there was cruise control, what we know as cruise control, they called autopilot back in the day.
03:20That was first seen on a Chrysler in 1959.
03:22We even were crazy enough to put a record player in a car and it was mounted underneath the dashboard, but it was really the industry's first personalized entertainment system.
03:31No longer did you have to rely on the radio, you could pick up the music you were listening to.
03:37One important thing we did was the Cryer Turbine program.
03:40Uh, we started installing turbine engines in cars in 1954.
03:44Uh, these are all tested vehicles.
03:46The program ran up until 1981 and the whole purpose of the program was to see if there's a different way than what we know is the internal combustion engine.
03:54There's something else.
03:56And so the turbine engine had 80% less parts.
03:59It ran at higher temperatures and higher RPMs.
04:02It would run on almost any kind of fuel.
04:04Anything that would burn.
04:05Kerosene, jet fuel, diesel.
04:08It was just neat.
04:09And it just shows that in the 1950s we were looking at technology that we're still looking at today.
04:15What different fuels we can power our cars on.
04:21Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s the industry was changing quite a bit.
04:26We were going from large vehicles to much smaller ones, front wheel drive vehicles,
04:30and we really weren't testing the waters with concept parts for many years.
04:35But in 1989 that all changed with the Port Fino.
04:38Uh, we were associated with Lamborghini at the time.
04:41Our engineers, Lamborghini engineers and our international design got together,
04:45put together this rear engine vehicle up powered by Lamborghini.
04:49But its design kind of blew everybody away.
04:52Uh, people weren't expecting it on a price at the time.
04:54It was really our first step in what became 30 plus years now of being at the forefront of design of the auto.
05:05So in the mid-1990s our design team was one of the chiefs and leaders was Tom Gale,
05:10a legend in the design community.
05:12He and Bob working together came up with the idea of the Atlantic,
05:16a concept car that you won't forget after you see it.
05:18It looks like and took a lot of its design to use from the Bugattis of the 1930s classic vehicle.
05:25When we brought that out, think it was debuted Detroit Auto Show, the world was stunted.
05:30It was just an incredible vehicle and they actually looked at making going production with it,
05:34but it was just would be too expensive for the tooling.
05:37It was too specific of a vehicle.
05:38When it was introduced, the Kronos was something special.
05:46The designers looked back to those designs of Virgil Ekstern's show cars in the early 1950s.
05:52And they actually took right from it.
05:54The grille that's found the vehicle would fit on any one of those other concepts he did back then.
05:59So what they did was they created a long wheelbase elegant vehicle that's elegant inside and out.
06:04And it's really an instant classic.
06:08So the fair power it was introduced in 2005.
06:13It's the North America International Show.
06:15Uh, it's a two-seat sport coupe that it's one of my favorites.
06:19It's built on a Viper chassis with a 6.1L Hemi and powering it.
06:23It's long hood to fit that large engine.
06:26The rear is really tight and performance oriented.
06:29It looks like a sports car and it really exudes the Cryer brand's elegance and performance of the time.
06:35It's just a gorgeous car.
06:38So, the main 412 is just a really cool car.
06:44It looks like a super car.
06:45It is a super car that was very close to becoming production.
06:49It had a mid-engine engine where that's where the ME comes from.
06:52They actually built and tested a second vehicle.
06:54And this vehicle at our Chelsea Proving Grounds was doing laps in over 200 mil an hour.
06:59So, they expected it to probably hit about 240 meters an hour in performance.
07:03Really wish we had built it.
07:05Uh, it's just a beautiful, beautiful car.
07:12The Chrysler brand has been a leader in many things.
07:16Whether it's design, engineering, or safety or technology.
07:19The brand's been at the forefront all these years.
07:23And it's a truly iconic American brand that has led from the front.
07:31Hey, you, you're a tiny wolf?
07:33Yeah.
07:35Rice.
07:35Oh, cool, cool.
07:49I have from there.
07:51Rice.
07:51Oh, cool, cool.
08:05I have to make it work.
08:07Oh, cool, cool.
08:15Come on, come on.
08:16I have to make it work.
08:17Okay.
08:18Okay.
08:18Okay.
08:19Okay.
08:19Okay.
08:19Okay.
08:19Okay.
08:21How many years did you work before you give and continue to carry forward Mr. Chrysler's
08:28initial vision of leading with new innovation, engineering excellence and investments in
08:32our bright future?
08:51To commemorate this special day, I'd like to invite Ms.
09:00Chris Fuel to join me in a very special piece of art, a very special mural by one of our
09:05Windsor Assembly Plan employees.
09:21Mr. West B.O.
09:51Anybody else?
10:21100-0
10:30SM, there we go.
10:41Thank you.
10:42Wonderful.
10:50Thank you very much.
10:59Thank you.
11:00Thank you very much.
11:08Thank you very much.
11:09Thanks everybody.
11:17Walter Cree was one of the 20th century's greatest model pioneers.
11:31He was really a hod of his time and he was there at the birth of the industry and worked his
11:38way up and really became an automotive legend.
11:45So Mr. Cree is born in 1875 Enos.
12:02He was a son of a locomotive engineer which was a big time job back then.
12:07That was the most impressive job you could really have in the West.
12:10His father wanted him to go on to college and not pursue a life on the railroad.
12:14Walter had other ideas.
12:16He was very mechanically inclined while he was in high school.
12:20He was subscribing to Scientific American and all these other publications to broaden his
12:24knowledge.
12:26He really wanted to work on locomotives.
12:28So against his father's wishes actually he got a job in the roundhouse first sweeping the
12:32floors.
12:33Then he became an oiler.
12:35He worked his way up to become a mechanic on the trains.
12:38Ah actually there wasn't like a snap-on truck that came to the shops.
12:43He had to borrow other people's tools and copy them by hand.
12:46So very famously Walter Cree's toolbox became a thing and it's still in existence still in
12:51the family's hands.
12:55He was so successful that he worked his way up to becoming head of locomotive power for
12:58one of the railroads.
13:01It was the height of the mechanical age then and he reached the pinnacle of what he could
13:04do.
13:06He was on a business trip to Chicago in 1908 and the Chicago Auto Show was going on.
13:12So he had a friend visited it and he realized that first visit that the automobile was going
13:16to replace the locomotive.
13:19This was the new form of transportation.
13:21And before he left, he bought his first car, a locale.
13:24Ah he had it shipped back to his home in Pennsylvania.
13:27And there he and his brother Ed took it apart and put it back together three times before
13:31I ever tried to drive it.
13:32He just wanted to know how an automobile worked.
13:34But he knew it was going to replace the horse of carriage, the locomotive.
13:37He wanted to be a part of this.
13:41He got a call from Willie Durant, the head of General Motors, and he was asked to come
13:45to Flint, Michigan to run Buck's manufacturing process.
13:49He jumped at the chance.
13:51He came to Flint in 1912 and began working his way up through Buck.
13:56He was a head of manufacturing.
13:58Eventually he became a vice president at all of General Motors still in charge of Buck manufacturing.
14:03Mr. Cryer was a strong man and so was Willie Durant and they butted heads a few too many
14:08times.
14:09In 1945 Mr. Chrysler retired for the first time.
14:12He walked away a very wealthy man set for life.
14:14He didn't need to do anything else.
14:17In 1920 the board of Willie Overland reached out to Mr. Chrysler and asked him to come and
14:21help them get out of receivership.
14:24Bad financial footing.
14:26So he went there on the agreement that he'd be paid a million for a year which was an incredible
14:30salary for the time but he was successful.
14:35And that one year he turned that company around right after that happened the board of Maxwell
14:39Motor Car Company called him.
14:41They were also in financial disputes and had a little problem at the time.
14:46So he went to Maxwell in 1922 and during that time he had three engineers Skeleton Breer they
14:51call him the Three Musketeers.
14:53He had them work in secret in a factory in Elizabeth New Jersey on a car that he wanted to put his
14:57name on.
14:59The vehicle was lower, a little sleeker than most of the era.
15:02Uh, but the big things were the mechanicals.
15:05It had a higher compression 6 cylinder engine, higher than most that were available at the
15:09time.
15:10And then it also had 4 wheel hydraulic brakes standard equipment.
15:14That was a big deal.
15:15You could get 4 wheel hydraulic brakes on some of the upper level cars, the expensive ones,
15:20but it was always an option.
15:22But Mr. Chrysler believed in safety and power and continuous improvement in the automobile.
15:27And so in late 1923 they tooled up in 1924 they started building the County Route 6 and
15:33these were sold through Maxwell dealerships existing dealer franchises all over the country.
15:38The car is great success and it actually outsold the Maxwell's.
15:42So in June of 1925, Mr. Chrysler took the assets of Maxwell and transformed it into the Chrysler
15:47Corporation and incorporated on June 6, 1925.
15:52When the brand started 1924 company in 1925, Mr. Chrysler understood he wanted to grow the
15:58company.
15:59Uh, the Chrysler brand was kind of in the high price class and he understood he needed
16:03multiple brands.
16:05So mid 1920s they started developing 2 other brands which became Plymouth and Decedo.
16:11But something even bigger happened in 1928 Mr. CHR had the opportunity to buy the Dodge
16:16Brothers.
16:17Now this was huge buses Cree was a small company only you know 4 years old whereas Dodge was
16:22established and then had Dodge main.
16:25It was Dutch B was a plant where iron and order came in one end and a car drove out the other
16:30end.
16:31So for 144 million cash the largest cash transaction in US history up to that time Mr. Chrysler brought
16:38the Dodge brand.
16:41So now he had you know the upper price a Chrysler mid-level Dodge and low price class limit.
16:47The timing was excellent because the pressure hit the following year 1929.
16:52By having a low price limit, the company was able to survive the depression.
16:56Without that brand, they wouldn't have survived.
16:58It became the second best selling car in the United States.
17:01But if he hadn't stepped onto the box and taken a risk in 1948, we wouldn't be here talking
17:05about this today.
17:09I think you and your engineers have done a great job.
17:23You not only retain the outstanding features you put into our 1932 Dodge cars but you gone
17:27beyond what I expected could be accomplished.
17:29Chrysler we put everything we had into this new car it's got that good dependability plus
17:34everything that they want day you're proud of this carom so Walter ched the company 1924
17:38to 1935.
17:39Uh at that point he was chairman and Walter uh decided it was time for him to retire.
17:53He had already built the Cree building in New York, so it was time for him to retire to his
17:57home in New York.
18:12Unfortunately had a stroke in 1938 and passed away in 1940.
18:17His name and zero zero zero units of improvement last many years after left the company.
18:35Mr. Cree was the first on many things.
18:37The airflow which was Mr. Chrysler's baby when it came out in 1934 was advertised as the first
18:42modern automobile cause it truly was.
18:45It was designed using a wind tunnel had tubular steel frame.
18:48There were safety padded dashes.
18:50So there was it was really like a continuous thing.
18:53Um well up into the 1950s when power steering was brought out by the corporation.
19:02Push button transmission there was always something going on it was an engineering company all these
19:06different things were industry leading advancements that can go right back to the thoughts that
19:09Mr. Miller put into the company with his emphasis on advanced technology design being a leader
19:14in all aspects of the industry.
19:36We'll see you in the UK.
19:38We'll see you in the next Thursday.
19:39Thank you.
