Chrysler-Fevre Argentina was the Argentine subsidiary of the US carmaker Chrysler Corporation. Its Wikipedia article says it began in 1890 as Julio Fevre y Cia, importing machinery for the tanning industry, and from 1916 held the right to sell Dodge Brothers vehicles in Argentina. It became a manufacturer in the 1960s, opening its San Justo plant in 1960 and building Dodge trucks, the Valiant and the Dodge 1500, of which 262,668 were made from 1971. The Chrysler International and Fevre y Basset companies merged in 1965 under the Chrysler Fevre name. Chrysler stopped operating in Argentina in 1979, and the business was sold to Volkswagen in May 1980.
