In this episode I provide the history of Diamond Star Motors, a 50-50 venture between Mitsubishi and Chrysler between 1985 and 1995, all built in a new factory in Normal, Illinois. Their first models were the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talon, and Plymouth Laser. But by 1991, Chrysler needed cash, and sold their half of the company, and by 1995, it was renamed Mitsubishi Motors Manufacturing America. Additional Mitsubishi and Chrysler cars were also built in the same plant, but most DSM fans only consider the Eclipse, Talon, and Laser to actually be DSM cars.
