STAGE OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR

1920 The first SEDAN car appears 1920

1922, they begin commercial manufacturing of automobiles.

1924 The first car with the CHRYSLER name includes hydraulic brakes and a high-compression
engine.

1926 Chrysler enters the luxury automobile market with the award-winning Chrysler Imperial
E-80: The highly sophisticated Chrysler Imperial was guaranteed to reach 80 miles per hour
(128.7 km/h), an incredibly high speed for the roads of the day. The FORD Model T Coupe
appears for the first time.

1927 The VOLVO brand produces its first car, the P4 model 1920 1924 1927

1928 Plymouth debuts mid-year as a mid-priced car, alongside Ford and Chevrolet. Then the
De Soto moves up a notch, mid-priced cars were introduced in 1929.

1929 – Four-wheel brakes brakes on each wheel would revolutionize stopping power.

PRE-WAR STAGE

1934 A truly modern automobile, the super-aerodynamic Chrysler Airflow and De Soto. The
purely engineered car included advances such as a super-reinforced body for maximum rigidity
and safety, sofa-type rear seats with an interior trunk, and the engine was mounted in front of
the front axle thus increasing interior space.

1939 The 1939 Plymouth introduces the first vacuum-powered convertible top. Chrysler
advertises "super polishing," a method by which moving engine parts were polished to near
mirror-like finishes to minimize friction.

1955 The new Chrysler 300 is the most powerful production car in the world. This hardtop
coupe equipped with a Hemi V8 delivered 300 HP fed by two four-barrel carburetors each.

MODERN STAGE

1964 Ford launches the Mustang in the middle of the year, the frenzy for this panic begins.

1969: 3-Speed Automatic TransmissionAutomatic

1981 The all-new "K" car was powered by a new 2.2-liter, four-cylinder engine only.

1982 – Electronic fuel injection

since then they became standard features for the first time.

The 1988 Chrysler New York was the first American car with "Air Bag" as standard equipment.

CONTEMPORARY STAGE

2000: HONDA begins the 21st century by selling the INSIGHT, a gasoline-electric hybrid in the
United States.

2009 Toyota's Supra appears to have been reborn for 2009 and this could be what it will look
like.

2010 - 2016 – Connected and ‘smart’ cars Today’s cars can have the power of 20 computers,
and are rapidly evolving towards more powerful means of the Internet. In the next decade,
your car may well be one more component of a fully connected consumer experience.
Optimizing their own performance and maintenance is one thing, but the power to navigate in
a world where cars can navigate, brake, avoid collisions and hazards on their own – in other
words, be autonomous on multiple levels – is no longer the stuff of science fiction.

Currently Automated vehicles and vehicles that reach 431 km/h

CONCLUSIONS

As you can see, at first there was a kind of automobile that ran on a steam engine, with
precarious bodies and no technology or comfort, they barely had wheels (three). After a few
years, the mechanical part was improved and internal combustion engines appeared, but with
little power, some aesthetic modifications were made and one more wheel was added.
At the end of the 19th century, cars with better design, wheels with air chambers, another and
more powerful engine, appeared, creators such as Louis Renault and Henry
Fordhttp://www.taringa.net/enciclopedia/ford.
At the beginning of the 20th century, they continued with some models from the previous
century, but in the mid-1930s, more modern cars from the Chrysler brand were created. At the
end of the 20th century, it can be said that the great evolution of the automobile began with
even more powerful engines and parts of the automobile were changed. New designs,
technology, and greater comfort and safety for the driver and passengers were also achieved.
