Chrysler was said to have developed the Crown Imperial Sedan to compete with the Cadillac Sixty Special. The owner of this Chrysler has owned both, and much prefers the drive of the Imperial.

If your looking to find a car that is almost guaranteed no one else will have, then here is your chance to own this amazing 1941 Chrysler Imperial. It is believed to be one of only six known to remain and is also one of only two that are still in service.

One of 894 built, this 1941 Chrysler Crown Imperial was sold in Hartford, Connecticut and remained there for 50 years. It has been designated as a Full Classic by the Classic Car Club of America.

The Town Sedan model of the Chrysler Imperial, was produced for only one year.  It was not the most popular series , more than likely due to it's price. Very few cars from this generation still can stand in glory in its current form. This Chrysler is going to exceed all car show expectations for years to come.

The wide white wall tires were replaced in 2011. At that same time, the carburetor, starter, and water pump were rebuilt.

The exterior first grabs your attention with the massive chromed horizontal grill. It flows flawlessly towards both the front headlights and above the gorgeous front bumper, which is also chromed.

The black paint is in better condition than you may expect considering how old the car is. The car retians much of it's original paint, with just some touch up on the fenders done several years ago. Large white wall tires wrap around the factory steel wheels, which are finished off by a chromed dish hubcaps.

The interior is where much of the style, class and beauty will be found. Most of the interior, like the steering wheel, dash, wood grain and upholstery has been recreated to match the original look.  Peroid brochres were used in the restoration of the interior to bring it as close to original as possible.

The owner sent the dash and all of the wood grain parts to Bob Kennedy in California, known for his outstanding work on classic woodies, he actually repainted and cleared all of the wood grain to recreate the original look.

The owner also decided to have his entire interior reupholstered and chose to have Village Upholstery and the services of it's owner Larry Hankins do the work. You can see the results. The interior is outstanding.

The fluid drive works very well in this outstanding car.

The radio is working as it was back in 1941, all of the gauges and each and every option available as well. 1941was the first year for power windows, and it is common to have issues with this system. The owner had all of the components rebuilt in 2011/12. However the passenger side front window does not work as well as it should. All others opperate just fine.

Seat belts were added for safety.

There is plenty of chrome trim located all over the car from front to rear. The front emblem, side moldings, even along side the foot boards are in very good condition.

Powering this beauty is a 323 cu. in. straight-8 engine, which produced around 143HP. The car moves along with the aid of the fluid drive transmission.

Marchionne says no offers are on the table for Fiat Chrysler

Sun, Sep 3 2017

MONZA, Italy (Reuters) - Fiat Chrysler (FCA) has not received any offer for the company nor is the world's seventh-largest carmaker working on any "big deal", Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne said on Saturday. Speaking on the sidelines of the Italian Formula One Grand Prix, Marchionne said the focus remained on executing the company's business plan to 2018. Asked whether FCA had been approached by someone or whether there was an offer on the table, he simply said: "No." The company's share price jumped to record highs last month after reports of interest for the group or some of its brands from China. China's Great Wall Motor Co Ltd openly said it was interested in FCA, but had not held talks or signed a deal with executives at the Italian-American automaker. The stock move was also helped by expectations that the company might separate from some of its units. Marchionne reiterated on Saturday that FCA was working on a plan to "purify" its portfolio and that units, such as the components businesses, would be separated from the group. He hopes to complete that process by the end of 2018. "There are activities within the group that do not belong to a car manufacturer, for example the components businesses. The group needs to be cleared of those things," he told journalists. Asked whether an announcement could come this year, Marchionne said it was up to the board to decide and that it would next meet at the end of September. He said the time was not right for a spin-off of luxury brand Maserati and premium Alfa Romeo and the two brands needed to become self-sustainable entities first and "have the muscle to stand on their feet, make sufficient cash". "The way we see it now, it's almost impossible, if not impossible, to see a spin-off of Alfa Romeo/Maserati, these are two entities that are immature and in a development phase," he said. "It's the wrong moment, we are not in a condition to do it." He said the concept of separating the two brands from FCA's mass market business made sense and did not rule out this happening in future, but not under his tenure, which lasts until April 2019. "If there is an opportunity in future, it would certainly happen after I'm gone. It won't happen while Marchionne is around," he said.

Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:

How fracking is causing Chrysler minivans to sit on Detroit's riverfront

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

It's fascinating the way that one change to a complex system can have all sorts of unintended consequences. For instance, there are hundreds of new Chrysler Town and County and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans built in Windsor, Ontario, sitting in lots on the Detroit waterfront because of the energy boom in the Bakken oil field in the northern US and parts of Canada.
The huge amount of crude oil coming from these sites mostly use freight trains for transport, and that supply boom has resulted in a shortage of railcars to carry other goods. According to The Windsor Star, North American crude oil transport by train has gone from 9,500 carloads in 2008 to 434,032 carloads in 2013. Making matters worse, some North American rail infrastructure is still damaged because of this year's harsh winter, and that's slowing things down even further.
Chrysler admits to The Star that it has had some delivery delays due to the freight train shortage. In the meantime, it's using more trucks to deliver its vehicles. Trucking is a far less economical solution, partially because a train can carry so many more units at one time, but alternatives are slim. The Windsor plant alone has a deal for 33 trucks to distribute the minivans around Canada and the Midwestern US.
