What the Heck is a Mopar Anyhow?
Mopar (short for "MOtor PARts") is the automobile parts and service arm of all the DaimlerChrysler American brands that were formerly owned by the Chrysler Corporation.
The term has, however, passed into a broader usage among car enthusiasts, as an inclusive word for any of Chrysler's brands. This is because the Chrysler name confusingly applied both to the parent company and to one of its brands, so if one wanted to refer unambiguously to the parent company, another word was needed. Thus, for example, a car club for owners of any Chrysler Corporation vehicle might describe itself as a club for "Mopar enthusiasts".
What do we define as a Mopar? We include all current Chrysler Corporation products as well as the adopted marques and the Chrysler ancestors. The obvious: Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge & Dodge Truck. Also included are the more recent additions of Jeep, Eagle, (and AMC). We also welcome owners and enthusiasts of the De Soto, Imperial, Fargo, and Plymouth Truck brands(remember them?)
