Walter Chrysler reorganised the Maxwell Motor Company into the Chrysler Corporation in 1925 and its brands included Dodge (cars and trucks) and Jeep. Chrysler moved in Europe in the 1960s by buying shares in SIMCA (In France) and the Rootes Group (in Britain). Full takeover of both companies was achieved by 1976, but by 1979 Chrysler bailed out and handed Chrysler Europe to Peugeot under the Talbot brand. Later associated with Mitsubishi and partners with Daimler-Benz, bankruptcy loomed and in 2009 they partnered with Fiat.
