PART I.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
The Trust was formed pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as
of May 31, 1991, as assigned by Chrysler Auto Receivables Company ("CARCO"),
to U.S. Auto Receivables Company ("USA") on August 8, 1991, among USA,
Chrysler Credit Corporation, as Servicer ("CCC"), and Manufacturers and
Traders Trust Company, a New York banking corporation, as Trustee. The assets
of the Trust include wholesale receivables (the "Receivables") generated from
time to time in a portfolio of revolving financing arrangements (the
"Accounts") with automobile dealers to finance their automobile and light
duty truck inventory. More specifically, the assets of the Trust include (a)
certain Receivables existing under the accounts at the close of business on
May 31, 1991 (the "Initial Cut-Off Date"), certain Receivables generated
under the Accounts from time to time thereafter during the term of the Trust
as well as certain Receivables generated under any Accounts added to the
Trust from time to time (but excluding Receivables generated in any Accounts
removed from the Trust from time to time after the Initial Cut-Off Date), (b)
all funds collected or to be collected in respect of such Receivables, (c)
all funds on deposit in certain accounts of the Trust, (d) any Enhancement
issued with respect to a series of certificates issued by the Trust (each
such series, a "Series") and (e) a security interest in certain motor
vehicles (the "Vehicles") and certain parts inventory, equipment, fixtures,
service accounts and, in some cases, realty and/or a personal guarantee
(collectively, the "Collateral Security") securing the Receivables. The term
"Enhancement" shall mean, with respect to any Series, any letter of credit,
surety bond, cash collateral account, spread account, guaranteed rate
agreement, maturity liquidity facility, tax protection agreement, interest
rate swap agreement or other similar arrangement for the benefit of
Certificateholders of such Series.
USA entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, between USA, as purchaser, and CCC, as
seller (the "Receivables Purchase Agreement"). Pursuant to the Receivables
Purchase Agreement, CCC has (a) sold to USA all of its right, title and
interest in and to all Receivables meeting certain eligibility criteria
contained in the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement ("Eligible Receivables") and (b) assigned its interests in the
Vehicles and the Collateral Security to USA. USA in turn transferred such
Receivables and Collateral Security to the Trust pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. USA has also assigned to the Trust its rights with
respect to the Receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
All new Receivables arising under the Accounts prior to January 1, 1996, were
sold by CCC to USA and transferred by USA to the Trust. All new Receivables
arising under the Accounts on or after January 1, 1996, during the term of
the Trust were sold by Chrysler Financial Corporation ("CFC") to USA and
transferred by USA to the Trust. Accordingly, the aggregate amount of
Receivables in the Trust will fluctuate from day to day as new Receivables
are generated and as existing Receivables are collected, charged off as
uncollectible or otherwise adjusted.
CARCO and USA are wholly-owned subsidiaries of CFC. On December 31, 1995,
CCC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CFC, merged with and into CFC. CCC serviced
the Receivables prior to January 1, 1996. CFC now services the Receivables.
Pursuant to an Agreement of Resignation, Appointment and Acceptance dated as
of August 23, 1996, Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company resigned as the
Trustee of the Trust and The Bank of New York became the Trustee of the
Trust.
The Trust has no employees.

CARCO AUTO LOAN MASTER TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of CARCO Auto Loan Master Trust (the "Trust") are
prepared on the basis of modified cash receipts and disbursements, which is a
comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting
principles. The primary difference from the accrual basis to this basis is
that the financial statements do not record accrued interest receivable on
the Receivables or accrued interest payable on the Certificates from the most
recent Distribution Date to the balance sheet date.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Trust uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure
arising from declines in interest rates. The derivative financial instruments
used have been limited to interest rate swap agreements. The Trust does not
use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Interest differentials resulting from interest rate swap agreements are
recorded on a cash basis as an adjustment to interest collections.
NOTE 2 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Short-term instruments with a maturity of less than 30 days when purchased
are considered to be cash equivalents. Prior to January 1, 1996, Chrysler
Credit Corporation ("CCC") was required to remit collections within two
business days of receipt to one or more accounts in the name of the Trustee.
On a daily basis, all funds so deposited were invested in short-term
instruments pending distribution. On December 31, 1995, CCC merged with and
into Chrysler Financial Corporation ("CFC"). CFC now remits collections to
the Trust.
NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTIES
U.S. Auto Receivables Company ("USA") is, and CCC was, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of CFC. On December 31, 1995, CCC merged with and into CFC.

The Certificates, in the opinion of outside legal counsel, will not be
characterized as debt of the Trust for federal income tax purposes.
Certificate holders will be subject to income tax on interest earned with

NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial Instruments
The estimated fair value of financial instruments have been determined using
available market information and valuation methodologies as described below.
However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to
develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented
herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized
in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions or
valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair
value amounts.
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Trust's financial
instruments were as follows (in millions of dollars):

Asset Backed Certificates $ 8,020.0 $ 8,020.0 $ 8,158.0 $ 8,158.0
</TABLE>
Assumptions and Methodologies
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and amounts held for future
distribution approximate market value due to the short maturity of these
instruments.
The carrying value of variable rate receivables was assumed to approximate
fair value since they are priced at current market rates.
The fair value of Asset Backed Certificates was estimated using quoted market
prices for investors' certificates and net realizable value for excess
receivables.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - continued
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Trust is exposed to the risk of declining interest rates as a result of
financing the acquisition of receivables bearing floating rates with fixed
rate certificates. As described in Note 5, the Trust has entered into
interest rate swap agreements to reduce its exposure to decreases in interest
rates. The interest rate swaps are matched to specific Series of Certificates
issued by the Trust. Under the terms of the agreements the Trust receives
fixed rate interest payments in return for interest payments based on a
variable rate. The weighted average fixed rate received by the Trust was
6.689% and 7.98% at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The weighted
average floating rate paid was 5.997% and 5.64% at December 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively. The Trust does not enter into derivative financial
instruments for trading purposes.
Interest rate swap differentials are deposited in, or paid from, the
collection account. Funds remaining in the collection account after
distribution to Certificateholders are returned to USA.
The table below summarizes the Trust's position in interest rate swap
agreements (in millions of dollars):

The fair value of the Trust's interest rate swap agreements was estimated by
using market quotes and by discounting net cash flows using quoted market
interest rates in effect at the end of each year presented. Such quoted
market interest rates do not give effect to anticipated changes in market
interest rates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Shareholder and Board of Directors
Chrysler Financial Corporation
Southfield, Michigan
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets, liabilities and equity
arising from cash transactions of CARCO Auto Loan Master Trust as of December
31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statement of cash receipts and
disbursements for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of
Chrysler Financial Corporation. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
As described in Note 1, these financial statements were prepared on the basis
of modified cash receipts and disbursements, which is a comprehensive basis
of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the assets, liabilities and equity arising from cash transactions
of CARCO Auto Loan Master Trust as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and its
cash receipts and disbursements for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1997 on the basis of accounting described in Note 1.
