Reviving Chrysler with an American Purchase: A Resurgence Effort Led by Frank B. Rhodes, Great-Grandson of Walter Chrysler.
Chrysler Comeback Proposed by Great-Grandson of Founder
In an ambitious move to revitalize the iconic American automaker, Frank B. Rhodes, Jr., the great-grandson of Walter P. Chrysler, has proposed to acquire and reinvigorate the Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth brands. This plan, dubbed "CHRYSLER 2025 COMEBACK," aims to create new high-paying Union jobs, introduce exciting automobile concepts, and potentially save and increase jobs.
Rhodes, known as an unofficial cheerleader and ambassador of the Chrysler brand, envisions a "classic comeback" for the brand, with the goal of reviving it by 2025. He believes his plan would allow Stellantis a graceful exit from the Chrysler brand while ensuring its continued American ownership and legacy.
The plan, detailed in a letter to Carlos Tavares, CEO of Stellantis, includes retaining the Chrysler brand as a true American ownership and preventing it from being controlled by people who do not understand its strong legacy. Rhodes has also expressed his intention to attend UAW rallies to support the re-employment of laid-off workers.

It is important to note that, as of August 2025, there are no publicly available details or credible reports regarding Rhodes proposing to acquire and reinvigorate the Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth brands. However, Rhodes has requested a confidential discussion with Tavares to outline his plan.
