The term was first used by Chrysler in the 1920s and was introduced as a brand starting in 1937. The name Mopar was created by a committee to use on cans of "Chrysler Motor Parts" antifreeze. The term has thus become an inclusive word for any Chrysler-built vehicle - most any Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth, Imperial, DeSoto or Dodge Trucks/Ram By extension, it is also used for Jeep and AMC vehicles built after Chrysler's 1987 buyout of American Motors Corporation including the short-lived Eagle brand. The merger of these brands continues with custom-built cars such as the 2017 Mopar 1,036 hp (773 kW; 1,050 PS) Hemi Hellcat powered 1972 AMC Javelin AMX. Since 2011, Mopar includes Fiat and Alfa Romeo following the Chrysler-Fiat merger.
