Hello everyone,
I found this car at a farmers place near my hometown in northern Alberta. I spotted it from the road so I decided to drive in. Nobody was home so I left one of my business cars with a note in their mailbox. I was surprised to get a call back. I didn't go and look at it as I didn't want to be snooping around. He said he may be interested in selling so I headed back over to his place the following Monday. When I got there we had coffee and BS'd about cars etc for a while. When we were walking out to the car he asked if I wanted to drive it! I was surprised that it ran. And it runs quite well. The car has been in his family since 1935 and has been stored in a controlled environment since 1965 to the best of his knowledge. Previous to that it was still being used on the road. Long story short I drove the car onto my trailer later that day and brought it home. I originally thought I'd be chopping and rat rodding this car. But after laying out the tape lines for a 4 1/2" chop and after having a few Budweiser's, I came to the conclusion that I just couldn't chop this car up! It is in far too good of condition. Everything is totally original down to the wood floor (that looks about 2 years old), the original leather seats, headliner, roof top, wheels, EVERYTHING. And everything is there and intact with the exception of the hood ornament. Try to find a car this old with the original spare tire and cover! It even has the original license plates from 1926. I really haven't touched the car since I brought it home 2 years ago and I am not the type of person to drive around in a classic. I want a rat rod, therefore the car is now going to be sold. Good luck and happy bidding. The winner will not be disappointed with this car at all! If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Thank you. Here is a couple paragraphs from the recent appraisal I had done for insurance purposes: 1926 CHRYSLER MODEL 50 The 1926 Model 50 for which Walter P. Chrysler offered to the motoring public for this model year was actually derived from the 1925 Maxwell. What had happened was Walter P. Chrysler took over the Maxwell Company in 1921 first as to restructure the Maxwell Company as a whole during the early 1920’s where Walter P. Chrysler became President of the overall operation and dropped the Mawell name. The car still featured the winged radiator cap, inline four cylinder, 2.8L engine with a three speed manual transmission. The cast iron block engine produced thirty-eight horsepower with the side valve design with a ball & ball carburetor. The Model 50 was produced as a more affordable automobile from the six cylinder line up which was going head to head with more luxurious models such as Cadillac. The wheel base of this rear wheel drive model 50 is 106 inches with a curb weight of 2410lbs. Interior seating was designed for the family class in mind of four to five people. This 1926 Model 50 has an interesting past being that it not only a Canadian car but also an original Alberta car. The car itself over the years has received some restoration such as the motor being rebuilt in approximately 1955 with new pistons and rings and some exterior paint work, but as a whole remains original. From historical photo graphs, much of the car’s interior fabric and body trim also seem original. Actually the car operates rather well and for the most part everything is in fine working order. Even the full gauge cluster on the dash although dated, all original. The exterior fit and finish of the body panels, glass components all around the car, the lighting system and the cooling system is all there. If anything, what is missing is the winged radiator cap which is common and very rare to see on a any car of this era. The wood spokes of each wheel rim are also in great condition. The tires of course have been updated although the spare does look original under the weather checked original tire cover. The car is stored in a controlled and secure environment. If you have any questions about the car please ask. Also, I do have this car for sale locally therefore I reserve the right to end this auction early if the car sells. Thank you. |

Chrysler withdraws from UK market
Tue, Mar 17 2015Ford factors big in the British market, as does GM's Vauxhall brand. But one automaker that will be missing from the UK from here on out will be Chrysler, as the latest reports coming in from the British Isles indicate that the American brand is closing up shop. For the past few years, Chrysler has been selling a combination of its own models as well as rebadged Lancias to British customers, but has been having a tough time making a go of it. After just a few short years of lackluster sales, Chrysler UK ceased selling the Delta, and according to Auto Express, is now withdrawing the 300C and Grand Voyager as well. That leaves just the Ypsilon, which will reportedly continue on an on-demand basis if customers ask for it, but even that will end by 2017. The withdrawal of the Chrysler brand from the British market mirrors that of Lancia, under whose name the same models are sold in continental Europe but which is now being confined strictly to Italy, where it will similarly continue to sell the Ypsilon. Of course that doesn't mean that FCA is withdrawing from the British market altogether. The Fiat, Abarth, Alfa Romeo and Jeep brands will continue being offered in the UK, as will Maserati and Ferrari. Just don't expect to see many wing-badged Chryslers on the high street anymore – not that you would have until now. Last year the Chrysler brand reportedly sold fewer than 2,000 units in the UK, compared to the 10,000+ examples of just the Fiat 500 it moves there every month.

Chevy Bolt wins 2017 Green Car of the Year
Thu, Nov 17 2016We knew that a plug-in vehicle was going to win the 2017 Green Car of the Year award this year, given that all five finalists have a way to charge up. And when Ron Cogan, the editor and publisher of Green Car Journal, announced the winner – the 2017 Chevy Bolt EV – he said that the car itself represents one of those times in the auto industry when everything is about to change. Similar to the invention of the starter motor, things are about to get different. For now, though, the fact that the Bolt EV won an award sounds like the same old thing all over again. Just this week, it was named Motor Trends Car of the Year and to the Car And Driver Top 10 list. The other four finalists for Green Car of the Year included the Toyota Prius Prime, the Chrysler Pacifica, the Kia Optima (including hybrid and plug-in hybrid models) and the BMW 330e iPerformance. Last year, the winner was the 2016 Chevy Volt. Did Green Car Journal make the right selection this year? See the award ceremony below.
Fiat shareholders green-light Chrysler merger, end of an Italian era
Fri, 01 Aug 2014Fiat has just taken a major step away from its Italian heritage, as shareholders officially approved the company's merger with Chrysler. That move will lead to the formation of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, a Dutch company based in Great Britain and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, according to Automotive News Europe.
The company captured the two-thirds majority at a special shareholders meeting, although there are still a few situations that could defeat the movement. According to ANE, roughly eight percent of shareholders opposed the merger, which is a group large enough to defeat the plan, should they all exercise their exit rights outlined in the merger conditions.
Meanwhile, Fiat Chairman John Elkann (pictured above, right, with CEO Sergio Marchionne and Ferrari Chairman Luca Cordero di Montezemolo), the great-great-grandson of Fiat founder Giovanni Agnelli, reaffirmed his family's commitment to the company beyond the merger. Exor, the Agnelli family's holding company, still maintains a 30-percent stake in Fiat.
