Automotive mogul (1875–1940) who founded the Chrysler Corporation. TLS signed “W. P. Chrysler,” one page, 8.5 x 11, Buick Motor Company letterhead, April 25, 1917. Chrysler responds to a letter from the vice president of the Foote-Burt Company in Cleveland. In part: “Since returning from California I received your letter of April 9th, and was compelled shortly afterwards to go to New York for several days, and have just got back. I appreciate your letter very much and have passed a copy of it on to Mr. Durant. [Durant was William Crapo Durant, founder of General Motors and Chevrolet]. It is his intention to come by the way of Cleveland when he comes to Detroit, and no doubt, he will see you there and possibly discuss the matter further.” In very good condition, with intersecting horizontal and vertical folds with a vertical fold passing through his name, small tears at the edges along the folds and tiny holes at the intersecting lines, light wrinkling and soiling, and mirroring of his signature at the top of the page. Signed letters from Chrysler are quite rare. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
