What is Mopar?
For those of you wondering where the term Mopar came from.
Mopar (short for MOtor PARts) is the automobile parts and service division of Chrysler Group. The term was first used in the 1920s and has been in use ever since.
Mopar is also used among car enthusiasts as a reference to the Chrysler parent company, as Chrysler also refers to a automotive brand. The term therefore means any Chrysler-owned brand, generally Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth, Imperial, DeSoto, American Motors (AMC) and Jeep.
Mopar is most closely associated with muscle cars produced by Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth during the 1960s and 1970s. The Hemi (named for its hemispherical combustion chambers) still serves as the pinnacle of power in Mopar automobiles.
