1933 Plymouth Model PD Coupe
01
Artifact Overview
Almost overnight, Walter Chrysler turned his company into a full-line automaker when he acquired Dodge Brothers and formed DeSoto and Plymouth in 1928. As Chrysler's low-priced brand, Plymouth competed directly with Ford and Chevrolet. The 1933 Model PD featured a six-cylinder engine and a rakish look that sold well despite the Depression. Plymouth's success helped Chrysler survive the economic crisis.
