Yes, many industries that CC had to bail out of in order to trim down and
become viable again. It will be a chance for CC to get back into those fields
again. Here's some trivia for the list to bug others with.
Q: When Chrysler was a major defense contractor, what product did they
develop, build and sell to the US Government that was a major part of the
Victory in the Gulf War and still is considered the best of it's kind today?
<insert 'Jeopardy' Theme music here>
---BBBUUUUZZZZ---
Time's up.
A: The US Army's Turbine Powered M-1 Abrams Main Battle Tank
This division of CC was sold to (if memory serves) General Dynamics and I
have no idea who makes the derned things now. ^_^
Interesting thing. Chrysler Corporation pioneered most of the modern
technology for using Turbine Engines to power ground vehicles. This
technology has sat dormant for a long time. I'd like to see it make a come
back now that there are new fuels and the "Energy Crisis" is over with. I'd
love to see a Turbine Powered Dakota.... WWHHHHIIIIIRRRRRR ^_^

to be. I'm thinking positive here... ^_^ >>
Without a doubt, and Im glad youre thinking that way Shaun. Daimler Benz is
much much more than just a car company. In fact Mercedes Benz is but one of
their smallest companies in the conglomerate. They are heavy in Defense
building, Heavy Trucking, they own a majority in the European Air lines Air
Buss and so on. Chrysler is actually a larger Car company than Benz so it is
fitting to replace the car name with the better car name.
