Joans There was once a time when Chrysler actually sold boats — not just a small number, but a full line, with a strong reputation for quality and innovation. Capitalizing on its automotive market, the Chrysler boats often had the same names as the cars — ironically, though, only Plymouths and Dodge names were used under the Chrysler Boat label (Valiant, Fury, Barracuda, Dart, Charger, and Polara).
