PLYMOUTH

americanad

The brand Plymouth was created in 1928 at the same time as DeSoto. It's the popular brand of the Chrysler group, with Ford and Chevrolet as principal competitors. The Plymouths are popular cars with a plump look, without defaults but without charm. The conformist K T Keller, the group boss didn't allow to designers to compete the other brands.
After the war it could be felt on the brand sales, which will be saved by the talent of Virgil Exner. He proposes for all the group brands an original design which is liked by the public. The face-lifting of 1957 will create the cold sweat to its competitors, never a popular model will resemble so much to prestigious cars !! But the taste of public changes fast, and the production of the beginning of the 60ies is too differentiated of the concurrence and it will make a flop. In 1963 Plymouth comes back into the rank. From 1966, as for its competitors, it's the arrival of Muscle-cars when the things move. The brand will propose the models which will stay in history as Barracuda and Road Runner.
