Chrysler had its best quarterly profit in 13 years. Not bad for a company that almost died three years ago.

The company earned $473 million in the first quarter, mainly on the back of strong U.S. sales, which rose 39 percent from January through March. Customers snapped up Ram pickups, Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs and Chrysler 200 sedans.

The profit was more than four times what Chrysler made a year earlier. And it was the best performance since the third quarter of 1998 when Chrysler earned $682 million during the pickup truck and SUV boom.
