Chrysler mementos, giveaways, awards, and such

Warren Steele noted (as others have pointed out) that Chrysler has traditionally not cared much for its own history.

Warren added, "Some time in 1985, I became aware of a decree to clean out old records and collections of 'stuff' in our Highland Park Engineering Division.

Many old drawings, mostly before WWII, were at the far reaches of those dark and dismal areas; it was scary down there.

Our high output was just the next production 2.2. We felt that it was not performing as well as we wanted. I developed it. It was a big hurry. That was back in the days when we all wore these big blue and yellow signs that said "We Can Do It."

I have one mounted on the side of my filing cabinet. It reminds me of the probably most rewarding period of my working life when we developed that engine from scratch. The minute it was in production, the so-called high performance version was in development.
