Chrysler is revving up the brand's 100th anniversary celebration with a seven-part Century of Innovation social media video series that takes an in-depth look at the trailblazers, iconic vehicles, groundbreaking concepts, technological innovations and historic moments from Chrysler's 100 years.

The newest video in the series debuting today, "Automotive Legend: Walter P. Chrysler," is spotlighted in sizzle reel versions shared on the Chrysler brand and Stellantis North America social media channels. The new "Walter P. Chrysler" video provides an in-depth look at the man who founded Chrysler 100 years ago, his impact on automotive innovation and how his legacy lives on today a century later.

New videos in the series will be rolled out on the Chrysler brand's (Instagram) and Stellantis North America (Facebook/Instagram/X/LinkedIn) social media channels. 

"Automotive Legend: Walter P. Chrysler" is the third video in the series; previous videos include "Chrysler Century of Innovation," featuring Chrysler CEO Chris Feuell reflecting on Chrysler's 100-year legacy and Chrysler's vision of the future, and "Chrysler Through the Decades," with Chrysler Historian Brandt Rosenbusch taking a decade-by-decade look at key moments from a century of Chrysler.

Chrysler holds a deeply personal place in the hearts of countless individuals—customers, enthusiasts, employees and dealers. Through this dynamic social media campaign, we're honoring that shared history while also celebrating the exciting road ahead as we continue to shape the future of mobility."

Chrysler has even more in store leading up to the brand's official birthday on June 6, 2025 — the date Maxwell Motors officially became Chrysler Corporation with Walter P. Chrysler as president. Following the reveal of the new 2026 Chrysler Pacifica 100th Anniversary Edition and a Chrysler historical vehicle media drive event on Detroit's Belle Isle on June 4, more than 1,500 employees will gather on the lawn at Chrysler Technology Center in Auburn Hills, Michigan, today for a group photo honoring those who have made 100 years of Chrysler possible.
