The Belvedere name was first used for a new   hardtop   body style in the Plymouth Cranbrook line for the 1951 model year. In 1954, the Belvedere replaced the Cranbrook as the top trim and became a full model line with   sedans,   station wagons, and   convertible   body styles. The Belvedere continued as Plymouth's full-sized car until 1965 when it became an intermediate. It was replaced after the 1970 model year by the   Satellite, a name originally used for the top-trim level Belvederes. The word "belvedere" is Italian for "beautiful sight" or "fair view." Chrysler also had the   Belvidere Assembly Plant   in   Belvidere, Illinois, which began vehicle production in 1965. However, the Plymouth Belvedere was never assembled there. During the 1950s and 1960s   Chrysler Canada   built the Belvedere for   Commonwealth   export markets such as New Zealand, India, and South Africa, in either CKD form or in factory right-hand-drive. Australia's local Chrysler operation built its own variation of the model until 1960.   All Plymouths underwent a major overhaul for the 1955 model year. This was the first year of Chrysler stylist   Virgil Exner's "Forward Look." The Belvedere returned as top-of-the-line, and the   Plaza   remained the entry-level model. Chrysler promoted the all-new appearance, showing cars built at the Lynch Road Factory in a featurette movie   Here. Midway through the model year (on February 26), the engine's stroke was increased by a quarter inch, increasing displacement from 217.8 to 230.2 cu in (3.6 to 3.8 L) and increasing power from 100 to 110 hp (75 to 82 kW). For 1956, Plymouth styling evolved from that of the 1955s. Most notable would be the introduction of the first push-button automatic transmission to appear in an American automobile, and a more dramatic rear-end treatment highlighted by a pair of rakish tail-fins. In early 1956, the   Fury   joined the Belvedere line as a special-edition high-performance coupe. Belvedere remained the top full-line series through 1958. In 1956, Plymouth added seat belts. In 1956, Chrysler's chief engineer George Huebner in a public-relations campaign took a Belvedere and had a   Chrysler turbine engine   fitted instead of the standard gasoline engine, and was driven across the U.S. The 1956 models came with more V8 power upgrades: options were the 180 bhp 270 cu in (4.4 L) V8, 187 bhp 277 cu in (4.5 L) V8, 200 bhp 277 cid V8, and for the Fury, a 240 bhp 303 cu in (5.0 L) V8.   Tail fins featured for the first time, in what Exner described as the "Forward Look." FCA US, LLC ,   doing business as   Stellantis North America   and known historically as   Chrysler     is one of the "Big Three"   automobile manufacturers   in the United States, headquartered in   Auburn Hills, Michigan. It is the American subsidiary of the multinational automotive company   Stellantis. Stellantis North America sells vehicles worldwide under the   Chrysler,   Dodge,   Jeep, and   Ram Trucks   nameplates. It also includes   Mopar, its automotive parts and accessories division, and   SRT, its performance automobile division. The division also distributes   Alfa Romeo,   Fiat, and   Maserati   vehicles in North America. The original Chrysler Corporation was founded in 1925 by   Walter Chrysler   from the remains of the   Maxwell Motor Company. In 1998, it merged with   Daimler-Benz, which renamed itself DaimlerChrysler but in 2007 sold off its Chrysler stake. The company operated as Chrysler LLC through 2009, then as Chrysler Group LLC. In 2014, it was acquired by   Fiat S.p.A.; it subsequently operated as a subsidiary of the new   Fiat Chrysler Automobiles   ("FCA"), then as a subsidiary of   Stellantis, the company formed from the 2021 merger of FCA and   PSA Group   (Peugeot Société Anonyme). After founding the company, Walter Chrysler used the   General Motors   brand diversification and hierarchy   strategy that he had become familiar with when he worked in the   Buick   division at General Motors. He then acquired   Fargo Trucks   and the   Dodge Brothers Company, and created the   Plymouth   and   DeSoto   brands in 1928. Facing postwar declines in market share, productivity, and profitability, as GM and Ford were growing, Chrysler borrowed $250 million in 1954 from   Prudential Insurance   to pay for expansion and updated car designs. Chrysler expanded into Europe by taking control of French, British, and Spanish auto companies in the 1960s;   Chrysler Europe   was sold in 1978 to   PSA Peugeot Citroën   for a nominal $1. The company struggled to adapt to changing markets, increased U.S. import competition, and safety and   environmental regulation   in the 1970s. It began an engineering partnership with   Mitsubishi Motors, and began selling Mitsubishi vehicles branded as Dodge and Plymouth in North America. On the verge of bankruptcy in the late 1970s, it was saved by $1.5 billion in loan guarantees from the U.S. government. New CEO   Lee Iacocca   was credited with returning the company to profitability in the 1980s. In 1985,   Diamond-Star Motors   was created, further expanding the Chrysler-Mitsubishi relationship. In 1987, Chrysler acquired   American Motors Corporation   (AMC), which brought the profitable   Jeep, as well as the newly formed   Eagle, brands under the Chrysler umbrella. In 1998, Chrysler merged with German automaker   Daimler-Benz   to form   DaimlerChrysler AG; the merger proved contentious with investors. As a result, Chrysler was sold to   Cerberus Capital Management   and renamed Chrysler LLC in 2007. Like the other Big Three automobile manufacturers, Chrysler was impacted by the   automotive industry crisis of 2008–2010. The company remained in business through a combination of negotiations with creditors, filing for   Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization   on April 30, 2009, and participating in a bailout from the U.S. government through the   Troubled Asset Relief Program. On June 10, 2009, Chrysler emerged from the bankruptcy proceedings with the   United Auto Workers   pension fund,   Fiat S.p.A., and the U.S. and Canadian governments as principal owners. The bankruptcy resulted in Chrysler defaulting on over $4 billion in debts. In May 2011, Chrysler finished repaying its obligations to the U.S. government five years early, although the cost to the American taxpayer was $1.3 billion. Over the next few years, Fiat S.p.A. gradually acquired the other parties' shares. In January 2014, Fiat acquired the rest of Chrysler from the United Auto Workers retiree health trust, making Chrysler Group a subsidiary of Fiat S.p.A.   In May 2014, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles was established by merging Fiat S.p.A. into the company. Chrysler Group LLC remained a subsidiary until December 15, 2014, when it was renamed FCA US LLC, to reflect the Fiat-Chrysler merger. The Chrysler company was founded by Walter Chrysler on June 6, 1925,   when the   Maxwell Motor Company   (est. 1904) was re-organized into the Chrysler Corporation.   The   company was headquartered   in the Detroit enclave of   Highland Park,   where it remained until completing the move to its present Auburn Hills location in 1996. Chrysler had arrived at the ailing Maxwell-Chalmers   company in the early 1920s, hired to overhaul the company's troubled operations (after a similar rescue job at the   Willys-Overland car company).   In late 1923, production of the Chalmers automobile was ended. In January 1924, Walter Chrysler launched the well-received Chrysler automobile. The   Chrysler Six   was designed to provide customers with an advanced, well-engineered car, at an affordable price. Elements of this car are traceable to a   prototype   which had been under development at Willys during Chrysler's tenure   The original 1924 Chrysler included a carburetor air filter, high compression engine, full pressure lubrication, and an oil filter, features absent from most autos at the time.   Among the innovations in its early years were the first practical mass-produced four-wheel hydraulic brakes, a system nearly completely engineered by Chrysler with patents assigned to   Lockheed, and rubber engine mounts, called "Floating Power" to reduce vibration. Chrysler also developed a wheel with a ridged   rim, designed to keep a deflated tire from flying off the wheel. This wheel was eventually adopted by the auto industry worldwide. The Maxwell brand was dropped after the 1925 model year, with the new, lower-priced four-cylinder Chryslers introduced for the 1926 year being   badge-engineered   Maxwells.   The advanced engineering and testing that went into Chrysler Corporation cars helped to push the company to the second-place position in U.S. sales by 1936, which it held until 1949. In 1928, the Chrysler Corporation began dividing its vehicle offerings by price class and function. The   Plymouth   brand was introduced at the low-priced end of the market (created essentially by once again reworking and rebadging the Chrysler Series 50 four-cylinder model).   At the same time, the   DeSoto   brand was introduced in the medium-price field. Also in 1928, Chrysler bought the Dodge Brothers   automobile and truck company and continued the successful Dodge line of automobiles and Fargo range of trucks. By the mid-1930s, the DeSoto and Dodge divisions would trade places in the corporate hierarchy. The   Imperial   name had been used since 1926 but was never a separate make, just the top-of-the-line Chrysler. However, in 1955, the company decided to offer it as its own make/brand and division to better compete with its rivals,   Lincoln   and   Cadillac. This addition changed the company's traditional four-make lineup to five (in order of price from bottom to top): Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto, Chrysler, and the now-separate Imperial.
