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.

November U.S. new car sales mixed as automakers deepen discounts
Fri, Dec 1 2017DETROIT — Major automakers posted mixed U.S. November new vehicle sales on Friday and predicted a competitive December as they rushed to sell vehicles and boost their numbers before 2017 ends. Automakers are trying to sell down 2017 model-year vehicles, offering high discounts to consumers as the year-end nears. In 2016, the industry reported record annual sales of 17.55 million units. According to consultancies J.D. Power and LMC, discounts have been above 10 percent of the average transaction price for 16 of the past 17 months, a level experts say is unhealthy and unsustainable. The November sales results come as the National Automobile Dealers Association said on Friday it expects new vehicle sales to decline to 16.7 million units in 2018, after dropping to 17.1 million for the full year in 2017. If that forecast comes true, the race to move new vehicles off dealers' lots will only intensify next year. Brandon Mason, a director at PwC's automotive practice, said a worrying trend for the industry was a rising number of subprime loans. He said subprime levels are at just over 20 percent of originations, against more than 30 percent prior to the Great Recession, but recent increases remain a concern. "That's a bit of a red flag," Mason said. "It's something to keep an eye on as we move into 2018." November results by automaker: General Motors: Sales fell 2.9 percent, with sales to consumers flat against the same month in 2016. Much of the decrease was driven by lower fleet sales. GM said strong SUV and crossover sales pushed its average transaction price for the month above $37,000 for the first time. The level of unsold cars, which has been a concern for analysts and the industry, rose slightly to 83 days' supply, from 80 days at the end of October. "More vehicles are sold in December than any other month, and we are very well positioned because we have momentum in so many segments, but especially in crossovers," said Kurt McNeil, U.S. vice president of sales operations. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: Fleet sales are low-margin, and FCA in particular has targeted a significant reduction in this type of sale in 2017. It posted a 4 percent overall decrease in sales for November, but fleet sales were down 25 percent while sales to consumers were up 2 percent on the year. Ford: The No. 2 U.S. automaker reported a 6.7 percent increase for the month, with fleet sales up nearly 26 percent and retail sales 1.3 percent higher than in November 2016.
1990 Chrysler Imperial is a forgettable American luxury sedan
Thu, Mar 17 2016MotorWeek's Retro Review series often lets us be nostalgic about vehicles from the '80s and '90s, but this time the show looks back on the 1990 Chrysler Imperial. With atrocious styling and middling performance, it might be better that we collectively forget about this luxury sedan. When this Imperial hit the scene, the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class were entrenched in the luxury sedan segment. Japanese automakers like Lexus and Infiniti were also making waves. The Chrysler just seems old fashioned compared to the rest, and its landau roof didn''t fit the competition's modern styling. MotorWeek also complains of poor craftsmanship and bad visibility out of the back. A 3.3-liter V6 with 147 horsepower doesn't provide much acceleration, either. Chrysler understood the demands of its aging customers for the Imperial. The sedan didn't offer anything class-leading, but there were a comfy seats and a floaty suspension to get drivers around town. In the modern world of luxury vehicles, which bristle with active safety tech and advanced infotainment system, the Imperial seems like a dinosaur. Watch Motorweek's clip to get a better understanding why there's not much nostalgia for this American sedan. Related Video:
Six arrested from chop shop linked to Dream Cruise thefts
Sun, Sep 20 2015The spirit of this year's Woodward Dream Cruise was dampened after a rash of car thefts were reported. The vehicles included a 1966 Chrysler 300 Deluxe, a 1966 Chevrolet Corvette, and a replica of the 1971 Chevrolet Camaro owned by the founder of Papa John's Pizza. While these thefts outraged the collector car community, that same tight-knit group is now breathing a sigh of relief, as those responsible are behind bars. Detroit Police arrested six people – three adults and three teens – on Thursday, September 17, in connection with a chop shop operation linked to the collector car thefts. According to The Detroit News, one suspect is still at large. There's concern among Dearborn police that the same group responsible for the Dream Cruise thefts boosted some vehicles from a Ford factory. While the Camaro was recovered mostly whole and found in a giant bush on Detroit's west side, the fate of the Corvette or Chrysler has not been made known. Here's hoping these classic cars make it back into their rightful owner's garages soon. News Source: The Detroit NewsImage Credit: Jerry S. Mendoza / AP Government/Legal Chrysler Classics
