This 1986 Chrysler LeBaron Mark Cross edition convertible is a true survivor that has spent the last 28 years being very gently driven and cared for. It was delivered to its original owner - a prominent Toledo businessman - at Valiton Motors of Toledo, Ohio on August 1 of that same year and was used primarily by his socialite wife in the summer months. The body of the car is straight and clean and has never been rusted. The only exception is some very slight bubbles that are just starting to form in the paint on the trunk lid by the LeBaron badge (shown in pictures). It wears its original paint, which is in excellent condition with a lot of lustre and shine to it. The car is light cream in color with a tan pinstripe and a tan convertible top. The top is in good condition overall. The motor work and the top raises and lowers well. The stitching that surrounds the rear window is beginning to come undone because of the age of the threads and will need to be restitched (shown in pictures). The convertible boot is in the trunk of the car and is in perfect condition. The original wire wheels are in excellent condition and the white wall tires have good tread life. The brakes are in great working condition on the car. All of the lights and gauges in the car work. The car has cream-colored Mark Cross leather interior with a slightly darker tan dash. The leather seats are the most comfortable car seats I have ever sat in. There are no rips or tears in the leather, but there is some slight cracking to the leather, consistent with the age of the seats and the quality of the leather that was used in cars of the 1980s. The dash has no cracks or blemishes. The interior of the car is immaculately clean - the carpeting, the floor mats, the dash and the seats. It has a power driver's seat that is full working order. The AM/FM stereo/ cassette works, as does the cruise control. As is often the case with cars of this vintage, the air conditioning does not blow cold as a result of having lost its charge. But who cares... this is a convertible... it was made for top-down driving. The original 2.2L Turbo engine is in good shape and has been checked by the local Chrysler dealership. The carburetor was recently cleaned and they found everything else, including the turbocharger, to be in good working order. The car starts right up and it does not leak and smoke. The transmission is in great shape. It shifts right into gear and has no clunking, slipping, or any other indications of wear. The brakes are in good condition and work well. The tires still have good tread life. I just replaced the front axles on the car, which had worn from age. This is a wonderful car in great condition and a beautiful example of the car that saved Chrysler. I've tried to be honest about any issues that the car has, and to document them with photos here in the listing. I'd be happy to answer any questions and will consider all fair and reasonable offers for the car. That it has been garage-kept its entire life will come as no surprise to anyone who sees it in person.

Fiat GIF-based ads make our heads spin
Tue, 17 Jun 2014Take a good, long look at the image above. Don't worry, it's completely real; you're not hallucinating. Would you believe that's an actual screencap from an actual ad commissioned by Fiat that's airing on actual television? Believe it.
The commercials started as a series of animated GIFs from The Richards Group for Fiat's Tumblr page, according to Adweek. Chrysler's Chief Marketing Officer reportedly liked them enough that he had them cut into ads for TV. The result is a combination of Internet meme heaven that includes the above horse mask and "Deal with it," animation, experimental filmmaking, cats, a person in a bunny suit twerking on a Fiat 500 and more general bizarreness.
Whatever your opinion on them, you have to admit that the advertising is certainly attention grabbing. Imagine looking up at the TV form your tablet to catch a glimpse of this weirdness. If you don't like them, Fiat is even giving people the chance to do a better job. Its Tumblr is open to submissions of new GIFs, which could lead to some very inappropriate and potentially hilarious results given the way that the Internet often works.
Fiat Chrysler says it did not know about Marchionne's illness
Fri, Jul 27 2018ZURICH/MILAN — Fiat Chrysler said it knew nothing about the medical condition of Sergio Marchionne after a Swiss hospital said on Thursday it had been treating the deceased chief executive for more than a year. "Due to medical privacy, the company had no knowledge of the facts relating to Mr. Marchionne's health," a Fiat Chrysler spokesman said. Questions have been raised about how long Marchionne, who died on Wednesday, was ill and how much the company knew before it made the situation public. Marchionne rescued Fiat and Chrysler from bankruptcy after taking the wheel of the Italian carmaker in 2004 and he multiplied Fiat's value 11 times through 14 years of canny dealmaking. He was due to step down at FCA in April next year. "The company was made aware that Mr. Marchionne had undergone shoulder surgery and released a statement about this," the spokesperson said. "On Friday, July 20, the company was made aware with no detail by Mr. Marchionne's family of the serious deterioration in Mr. Marchionne's condition and that as a result he would be unable to return to work. The company promptly took and announced the appropriate action the following day." Asked whether the scope of the statement included the board and the chairman, the company declined to comment. In emailed comments, Marchionne's family confirmed the companies had not been aware of his health conditions. "At the end of last week FCA was made aware Sergio Marchionne would no longer be able to return to work without mentioning any further details," the family said. The announcement of the death of Marchionne, 66, one of the auto industry's most tenacious and respected CEOs, drew tributes from rivals and tears from his closest colleagues on Wednesday. University Hospital Zurich said earlier on Thursday Marchionne had been treated for a serious illness for more than a year before his death. Marchionne had fallen gravely ill after what the company had described as shoulder surgery at a Zurich hospital. He was replaced as chief executive last weekend after Fiat Chrysler (FCA) said his condition had worsened. "Mr. Sergio Marchionne was a patient at USZ. Due to serious illness, he had been the recipient of recurring treatment for more than a year," the hospital said in a statement. "Although all the options offered by cutting-edge medicine were utilized, Mr.
Fiat Chrysler quietly sends Pentastar logo out to pasture
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Logos come and go, and in the case of the famed Chrysler Pentastar, it's on its way back out. The well-known five-sided emblem, which sits prominently atop the massive Chrysler Technical Center complex in Auburn Hills, MI, is officially going to be phased out now that the company has united with Fiat and formed the new Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
As a nearly 50-year-old icon, though, the fate of the Pentastar has been deeply intertwined with Chrysler's history. Hemmings has an excellent recap of that history, from its development in 1962 by a Chrysler ad agency through to its temporary discontinuation during the disastrous marriage between the American company and Daimler-Benz, and then on to its revival during the time the automaker regained its independence.
If you've been a fan of Chrysler and its brands over the years, you're going to want to give this piece a read. Head over and take a look.
