Chrysler UK - Sale To Peugeot

Sale To Peugeot

By 1979, Chrysler was deep in financial trouble and in order to stay afloat it sold its European operations to French carmaker Peugeot S.A. who sold the range as Talbots in both Britain and France before phasing the name out on passenger vehicles by 1987.

Famous quotes containing the word sale:

    “I hate this shallow Americanism which hopes to get rich by credit, to get knowledge by raps on midnight tables, to learn the economy of the mind by phrenology, or skill without study, or mastery without apprenticeship, or the sale of goods through pretending that they sell, or power through making believe you are powerful, or through a packed jury or caucus, bribery and “repeating” votes, or wealth by fraud.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
