With the touch of pen to paper and a simple wire transfer, Chrysler completed its alliance with Fiat on Wednesday morning, largely ending its quick trip through bankruptcy.

The reorganization was completed in 42 days.

The last obstacle to an exit  a temporary stay imposed by the Supreme Court  was lifted late Tuesday after the nine justices declined to hear a challenge of the deal by three Indiana state funds and several consumer groups.

The wire transfer, from the federal government, gives Chrysler $6.6 billion in exit financing.

After more than a month of sometimes dramatic court hearings, Chrysler sold the bulk of its assets to Fiat in almost anticlimactic fashion: in the offices of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, the law firm that is advising the Treasury Department’s auto task force. The sale was completed about 9 a.m.
