I think he uses "Chrysler" as a generally disparaging term, not literally.
I think he's really old school and can't accept that like everyone else, the cars had to become more energy efficient and ecologically sound. All the manufacturers, esp in the US had a terrible time period for paint, trying to make the painting process meet EPA standards. Things had to become lighter, the whole car had to become lighter to meet fuel standards and people wouldn't have continued buying them if they were getting 15 mpg when the competition got 25 or 30. EVEN if they were built like a tank.
A good thread to insert a favorite song line of mine, it's from Billy Joel's "Keeping The Faith"; The good old days weren't always good and tomorrow's not as bad as it seems.
