CHALMERS

Chalmers Motor Company was an American automaker from Detroit that left a remarkable mark on automotive history. Founded in 1908 by Hugh Chalmers, the company quickly gained a reputation for producing prestigious vehicles known for their reliability, endurance, and engineering innovations. Their achievements in touring rallies and endurance events were especially acclaimed. In 1911, Chalmers reached the height of its popularity, becoming one of the top eight auto manufacturers in the United States. However, as competition in the industry intensified, sales began to decline. In 1923, the company merged with Maxwell Motor, forming the foundation for the legendary Chrysler Corporation.
