Origins

The Plymouth automobile was introduced on July 7, 1928. It was the Chrysler Corporation's first entry in the low-priced field, which at the time was dominated by Chevrolet and Ford. Plymouths were actually priced a little higher than the competition, but they offered standard features such as hydraulic brakes that the competition did not provide. Plymouths were originally sold exclusively through Chrysler dealerships. The logo featured a rear view of the Mayflower ship which landed at Plymouth Rock, hence the name "Plymouth" as the brand. The hydraulic brake is an arrangement of braking mechanism which uses hydraulic fluid, typically some type of light-viscosity petroleum oil, to transfer pressure from the controlling unit, which is usually near the operator of the vehicle, to the actual brake mechanism, which is usually at or near the wheel...

Plymouth Rock, described by some as the most disappointing landmark in America because of its small size and poor visitor access. ...


The origins of the first Plymouth can be traced back to the Maxwell automobile. When Walter Chrysler took over control of the trouble-ridden Maxwell-Chalmers car company in the early 1920s, he inherited the Maxwell as part of the package. After he used the company's facilities to help create and launch the Chrysler car in 1924, he decided to create a lower-priced companion car. So for 1926 the Maxwell was reworked and rebadged as a low-end Chrysler model. Then at the end of the decade this model was once again reworked and rebadged, this time to create the Plymouth. The Maxwell was a brand of automobiles manufactured in the United States of America from about 1903 to 1925. ... Walter Percy Chrysler (April 2, 1875 – August 18, 1940) was an American automobile pioneer. ... The Chalmers Motor Car Company was a United States based automobile company which flourished in the 1910s and 1920s. ...


Great Depression, 1940s, and 1950s

While the original purpose of the Plymouth was simply to cover a lower-end marketing niche, during the Great Depression of the 1930s the car would help significantly in ensuring the survival of the Chrysler Corporation in a decade when many other car companies failed. Beginning in 1930, Plymouths were sold by all three Chrysler divisions (Chrysler, DeSoto, and Dodge). Plymouth sales were a bright spot during this dismal automotive period, and by 1931 Plymouth rose to the number three spot among all cars. The Great Depression was a time of economic down turn, which started after the stock market crash on October 29, 1929, known as Black Tuesday. ...

For much of its life, Plymouth was one of the top selling American automobile brands, along with Chevrolet and Ford ("the low-priced three"). Plymouth even surpassed Ford for a time in the 1940s as the second most popular make of automobiles in the U.S. Through 1956, Plymouth vehicles were known for their durability, affordability and engineering. In 1957, Chrysler's Forward Look styling theme produced cars with much more advanced styling than Chevrolet or Ford, although Plymouth's reputation would ultimately suffer as the cars were prone to rust and sloppy assembly. The marque also introduced its limited production Fury line in 1956, and it too benefited from the crisp Forward Look designs. Chevrolet (IPA: ʃɛv. ... 2002 Ford Fiesta in the UK.

Financial/marketing struggles

The Plymouth brand lost market share rapidly in the early 1960s. While Plymouth was a styling leader from 1957 to 1958, its 1959 through 1962 models were awkwardly styled cars that failed to strike a chord with the public. Plymouth also found itself in competition with its own corporate sister division Dodge when the lower-priced, full-size Dodge Dart was introduced for 1960. Rambler, and then Pontiac would assume the number three sales position for the remainder of the decade. Plymouth went into a decline from which it would never fully recover. 1971 Dodge Dart 4-door sedan with aftermarket fender mirrors The Dodge Dart was an automobile built by the Dodge division of the Chrysler Corporation from 1960 to 1976. ... Rambler logo, 1960s Rambler was an automobile brand name used by the Thomas B. Jeffery Company between 1900 and 1914, then by its successor, Nash Motors in 1950, and finally by Nashs successor, American Motors Corporation from 1954 to 1969. ... Pontiac is a marque of automobile produced by General Motors and sold in the United States, Canada and Mexico from 1926 to the present. ...


The marque regained market share following the introduction of the 1965 models, which returned Plymouth to full-size vehicles and more mainstream styling. Plymouth regained its traditional third place in the sales race in 1971 and 1974, primarily with its popular Valiant and Duster compact models, but as a brand Plymouth was hardest hit by Chrysler's financial woes of the late 1970s. Marketing decisions ultimately reduced the Plymouth lineup to the point that it was no longer a full-line make. New models were increasingly given to the Dodge and Chrysler brands, but denied to Plymouth. By 1979, its lineup consisted of only the domestically produced Volare and Horizon models, and a number of rebadged Mitsubishi imports. The Plymouth Valiant was an automobile manufactured by the Plymouth division of Chrysler Corporation in the United States from 1960 to 1976. ...

Final years

In the late 1990s, four vehicles were sold under the Plymouth name: the Voyager/Grand Voyager minivan, the Breeze mid-size sedan, the Neon compact car, and the Prowler sports car. After discontinuing the Eagle brand in 1998, Chrysler was planning to expand the Plymouth line with a number of unique models before the corporation's merger with Daimler-Benz AG. The first model was the Plymouth Prowler, a modern-day hot rod. The PT Cruiser was to have been the second. Both models had a similar grille, showing that Chrysler was intending to take a retro styling route with the Plymouth brand. Other than the Prowler, at the time of the takeover Plymouth had no unique products that were not also available in the Dodge line. Furthermore, whereas all Plymouth dealers also sold the Chrysler line of cars, many Dodge dealers sold only Dodge; thus it would cause much more dealer disarray to discontinue Dodge than it would to discontinue Plymouth. Consequently, DaimlerChrysler decided to drop the make after a limited run of 2001 models. The last new model sold under the Plymouth marque was the second generation Neon for 2000-2001. The PT Cruiser was ultimately launched as a Chrysler, and the Prowler and Voyager were absorbed into that make as well. The Plymouth Breeze was dropped after 2000, before Chrysler introduced their redesigned 2001 Dodge Stratus and Chrysler Sebring sedan. Most Plymouths had twins from either Dodge, Chrysler, Eagle, or Mitsubishi. The Plymouth Voyager and Plymouth Grand Voyager were minivans marketed by DaimlerChrysler (they were sold by the Chrysler Corporation until 1998). ...

Events Leading to Demise of Plymouth

  • 1960: Dodge introduces the smaller, lower-priced "Dart" series that competes directly with Plymouth's offerings.
  • 1961 and 1962: Rambler, and then Pontiac assumes third place in industry sales for the remainder of the 1960s.
  • 1962: Sales drop dramatically with the introduction of a line of awkwardly styled, downsized full-size models.
  • 1971: Unable to afford to develop its own subcompact, the British Hillman Avenger is imported as the Plymouth Cricket, which is cancelled in mid-1973 due to quality concerns.
  • 1974: The car that would ultimately become the Chrysler Cordoba is reassigned to Chrysler from Plymouth.
  • 1978: The mid-size Fury is discontinued at the end of the model year.
  • 1979: Plymouth's lineup is reduced to the Horizon and Volare, and a number of rebadged Mitsubishi imports.
  • 1981: The full-size Gran Fury and Trailduster SUV's last year.
  • 1989: The mid-size Gran Fury as well as the Reliant line of compact cars are discontinued after this model year.
  • 1994: The little-advertised Laser sport-compact as well popular Sundance and Colt compacts all end production. They are replaced by a single car, the Neon.
  • 1995: Plymouth's lineup is at its all time low, just 3 cars: the Acclaim, the Neon, and the Voyager/Grand Voyager. The number will go up to 4 in 1997, with the introduction of the Prowler, but will never get any higher.
  • 1996: In an attempt to move Plymouth downmarket, Chrysler makes the redesigned Voyager only available in base and mid-level SE models. All of the higher-end trim levels available on the previous generation, can now only be found on the Dodge Caravan. This may be why the Caravan's production and sales figures are greatly more than the Voyager's. They weren't in the previous generations.
  • 1999: The redesigned 2000 Neon becomes the company's last new model.
  • 2000: The mid-size Breeze ends production. This is also the last year for the Voyager minivan as a Plymouth. All 2000 Voyagers built in December 1999 and beyond were badged as Chrysler Voyagers. The Neon is totally redesigned for 2000.
  • 2001: Plymouth's last model year. Only the Neon remains in the Plymouth line. The Prowler became a Chrysler. The Breeze was dropped as Chrysler issues a redesigned Chrysler Sebring sedan to replace the Chrysler Cirrus. The PT Cruiser was launched as a Chrysler, though it was originally planned to be a Plymouth. The final Plymouth, a Neon, was assembled on June 28, 2001.

Plymouth Duster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (878 words)
The first Plymouth Duster was a semi-fastback version of the Plymouth Valiant automobile, produced in the US from 1970 to 1976.
The Duster was an instant success for Plymouth, so much so that Dodge insisted to Chrysler management that they receive their own version, the (Dart) Demon, which debuted for 1971.
Although 1976 concluded the run of the original Duster, the name was revived three times as a trim level for other Plymouth cars; first on the 1979-80 Plymouth Volare coupe, then on the front wheel drive 1985 Plymouth Turismo, and finally, from 1992 to 1994 on V6-powered Plymouth Sundance coupes and sedans.
