Third Thursday Talk- Chrysler in Canada

  • Canadian Automotive Museum 99 Simcoe Street South Oshawa, ON, L1H 4G7 Canada (map)

Over 100 years of Chrysler in Canada: corporate, vehicular and personal

Celebrating its centenary this past June, Chrysler Canada has often hit above its weight, sometimes contributing nearly 20 per cent of the parent's worldwide profit, while at times ranking as the country's largest or second biggest vehicle producer. With this talk, we look back on much success, as well as some breakdowns.

This online talk will take place over Zoom and is part of the Canadian Automotive Museum's Third Thursday lecture series. These online talks are free and open to the public, but registration is required. The Canadian Automotive Museum is a registered Canadian charity and a suggested donation of $10 goes toward covering the cost of hosting these virtual events. Donors who make an annual contribution of over $25 will receive a charitable tax receipt.
