Up for sale or possible trade is an amazing example of 1950's big fin cars. This 1957 Chrysler Imperial Coupe
sports a spunky and excellent running 392 Hemi engine with a smooth shifting Torqueflight transmission. The running
gear in this car is in excellent condition, starts right up, idles smooth, no smoke, no leaks, no overheating.
She drives down the road just like she looks and gets plenty of attention. You can drive for a long time before you
see another Imperial as nice as this.
The History:
As told to me, this car was part of a very large collection of cars stored many years in Florida. It had not been
on the road in well over 20 years and the mileage on the car is most likely original, but no way to know for
certain. the lack of rust would indicate the car was indeed inside as there was very little rust to deal with
during a moderate restoration.
Work done:
When I got the car nearly a year ago, it arrived in completely original and unmolested condition, a true survivor.
She was a dull gold color, the interior was also gold and in need of replacing. The body was very sound. It is a
rock solid car wit very little rust issues. The right front fender has been replaced as there were too many dents
to try to fix, the left rear quarter panel had some rust along the trim line but was easily repaired. The rockers,
floorboards, engine compartment, inner fenders and all else was very solid. There was a touch of rot in the right
rear of the trunk but was removed and repaired.
All the panels are original to the car, the doors, hood, truck lid etc all came with her. The engine and trans
were pulled, gone over, checked out good, detailed and put back together. The heads were done with a minimal amount
of work required. This 392 Hemi engine is strong and steady.
The front end was rebuilt, new shocks, brakes, brake lines all around, new bushings, except torsion bars, were
installed. Tires are at about 80%.
The body was in very solid condition but for the previously mentioned. The car received a very nice single stage 2
tone paint job, not car show quality, but certainly very attractive. The color was completely changed from the
original gold and done so well and completely, it would be difficult to see the color change.
The interior was completely redone using the highest quality and most durable fabric available. The carpet,
headliner, dash, all new.
What makes this car so interesting ids that absolutely everything works. The clock, radio, all windows, turn
indicators, gauges, lights, dome lights, running lights all work as they were designed. The A/C is all there but
did not take the time to make work, the heater and blower all work great.
The glass is all in excellent condition. The chrome in and out is all nearly flawless, the bumpers are solid. The
undercarriage is clean and without issues.
Please check out pics, email or call 530-519-2195 with any questions . I am selling this car for my brother in
law, he will consider trades. The car is stored inside and can remain there until picked up for transport. I have
not driven this car on any lengthy trips. It is not currently registered but comes with a clean and clear title.
Note: I have a full set of 14" Imperial hubcaps that can go with the car. The tires that are in place are 15". I
have a considerable amount of additional parts for the Hemi, and the car itself. The hubcaps on the car are
aftermarket.

Small number of 2013 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger models recalled
Sun, 24 Feb 2013A small number of units of the 2013 Chrysler 200 (inset) and 2013 Dodge Avenger are being recalled over a broken control valve in the fuel tank assembly. The potential 1,785 sedans were manufactured late last year, and if affected with a broken control valve could suffer from stalling or fuel leakage.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that the recall should begin next month, at which time owners can take their cars to dealers for repair free of charge. The full release with more information is just below.
Watch these Super Bowl car commercials [UPDATE]
Sat, Feb 2 2019On Sunday, February 3, the New England Patriots take on the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Some will watch because of the storyline of the old-school dynasty facing off against the new-school wunderkinds, but a large chunk of people will solely be watching for the commercials. Lucky for those who slot into the latter category, many of the manufacturers release their super bowl ads ahead of time, or have simply opted to release the commercials only online. Scroll down to see what car companies have already shown their cards. Audi Audi goes the comedic route in its clip for the Big Game. It starts with a grandpa showing his grandson a gorgeous Audi e-tron GT tucked away in a garage before he's shaken awake. Turns out he was just choking on a cashew in his cubicle at his boring job. Dodge Dodge does what it knows: create enough smoke to punch more holes in the ozone layer. Set to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia (the Super Bowl is in Atlanta, get it!?), a Challenger SRT Hellcat widebody, Charger SRT Hellcat, and Durango SRT are seen ripping through a city, leaving a trail of rubber crumbs in their wakes. Genesis Genesis has not yet released a commercial prior to the Super Bowl, but it is the official luxury vehicle of the NFL. Because of this, Genesis is hosting a fan experience for 10 days before the game. It will showcase the brand's cars, offer games, and have photos opportunities and autograph days. Hyundai Jason Bateman alert! Hyundai is one of the few companies to hook a major celebrity for its advertisement, and the casting is perfect. Bateman plays a doorman who takes people to various terrible events in life, including root canals, the middle seat, and shopping for a car. The ad centers around Hyundai's Shopper Assurance, which is Hyundai's new method for car shopping. Jeep An old 1963 Jeep Gladiator finds its strength in the crusher and transforms into a a new 2020 Gladiator, with a firm declaration that the nameplate is officially back. Kia Through Kia's commercial, a young boy wonders out loud what it'd be like if the millions spent on Super Bowl commercials were used to help others.
2025 SRT Hellcat concepts as previewed by high schoolers
Thu, Jan 21 2016Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has some very talented designers in its ranks. Like any good company, though, the automaker is always on the lookout for early talent. Even if they're still in high school. One of those talent-seeking initiatives is the company's Drive for Design contest, an event open to tenth-, eleventh-, and twelfth-grade students that are hoping for a future in design. For this year's event, students from across the country were given a shot to design their vision for a 2025 model-year Dodge SRT Hellcat. The results are impressive, as you can see in the gallery above. First place went to Ben Treinen, from Archbishop Moeller High School in Cincinnati. Second place was the only award to go to a student outside the Rust Belt, with Macon, GA's Harrison Kunselman, a student at Mount de Sales Academy taking the silver. Third place was won by a metro Detroiter – Bloomfield Hills High School student Hwanseong Jang, while fourth went to Andrew Gombac of Loyola Academy in Wilmette, IL. According to FCA, all four winners will have their sketches on display at the 2016 Autorama at Cobo Center at the end of February. They'll also win some pretty nifty prizes. First place will get a new Apple MacBook Pro, while second, third, and fourth get the new Apple iPad Pro and Apple Pencil (arguably just as good of a prize for budding designers). All four finishers will also attend a three-week automotive design course at Detroit's prestigious College for Creative Studies, have dinner with FCA designers, and score three passes to Autorama. FCA will cover travel and lodging to Auburn Hills. Read on for the official blast from FCA.
