INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
 
Shareholders and Board of Directors
Chrysler Corporation
Auburn Hills, Michigan
 
     We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Chrysler Corporation and consolidated subsidiaries as of March 31, 1997 and 1996
and the related condensed consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for
the three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
 
     We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
 
     Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to
above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
 
     We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Chrysler Corporation and
consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996, and the related consolidated
statements of earnings and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein); and in our report dated January 21, 1997, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of December 31, 1996 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation
to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
