About Mopar
Mopar is Chrysler Group LLC’s service, parts and customer-care brand.
Mopar distributes approximately 280,000 parts and accessories in more
than 90 countries and is the source for all original-equipment parts for
Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram Truck vehicles. Mopar parts are unique
in that they are engineered with the same teams that create
factory-authorized vehicle specifications for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram
Truck vehicles, a direct connection that no other aftermarket parts company
can provide.
When Chrysler bought Dodge in 1928, the need for a dedicated parts
manufacturer, supplier and distribution system to support the growing
enterprise led to the formation of the Chrysler Motor Parts Corporation
(CMPC) in 1929.
Mopar (a simple contraction of the words Motor and PARts) was trademarked
for a line of antifreeze products in 1937. It also was widely used as
a moniker for the CMPC. The Mopar brand made its mark in the 1960s –
the muscle-car era. The former Chrysler Corporation built race-ready
Dodge and Plymouth “package cars” equipped with special high-performance
parts. Mopar carried a line of “special parts” for super stock drag
racers and developed its racing parts division, called Mopar Performance
Parts, in order to enhance speed and handling for both road and racing use.
