Plymouth Hubcap, 1925-1930
01
Artifact Overview
Walter Chrysler introduced his company's Plymouth line in 1928. The low-priced brand competed directly with Ford and Chevrolet. It was good timing on Chrysler's part. The Great Depression soon ravaged automobile sales, but affordable Plymouths fared better than more expensive makes. The new brand helped carry Chrysler Corporation through the downturn. Plymouth represented more than half of Chrysler's sales by 1932.
