1948 Chrysler New Yorker Convertible

Here is a very rare restoration project, or a prime candidate as a high end street rod. Very few cars survive the rust that we get here in the Midwest, so this is an exception the rule here. This car was part of a 40 year old collection of Town & Country autos and is one the best unrestored body I have seen. The car was previously bought as a restoration project, as the owner had pasted away. I have owned this car for a number of years now and I have too many projects, too little storage, and not enough time!!! As the pictures show there is only surface rust. The undercarriage is surface rust only.

I have been collecting parts for this car, and have hung all the sheet metal to show it as a complete vehicle. It does have a new set of Denman wide whitewall tires on it. They are several years old and are like new. It is minus the original engine / transmission (see paragraph below), front bumper, grill and chrome. The glass is in decent shape; with the exception of the vent windows…starting to yellow at the edges and the back window does have a crack in it.

The convertible top is in good shape, but needs TLC at the rear windows.

I have original front seat base and there is also an extra set of seats for a coupe that go with the car all of which need restored.

I do have a complete 8 cylinder engine / transmission and a set of Kelsey/ Hayes wire rims for an additional fee if desired. Contact me for pricing if interested.

**NOTE ...The last picture of a completed car is what it would look like restored. It is not the car in this listing, the picture was taken at the ACD Museum.

NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, AS IS WHERE IS.

My loss is your gain. This is a chance of a lifetime to own a great piece of history.

If you DO NOT have a good buyers history don’t bother to bid!

I will NOT ship this car, Local Pick up only.

I WILL help with loading the car with your carrier. This car is being listed several places and we reserve the right to sell it early.

Please only bid if you are prepared to pay the deposit and buy this car.

If you would like to inspect the car I would gladly make arrangements to do so. If you have any questions, please feel free to send a message and I will respond ASAP and give you my phone number if you need to speak to me personally.

Payment by PayPal, or cash ONLY!!!

Plymouth Belmont: Running, driving, Virgil Exner-owned concept car could be yours

Fri, Dec 29 2017

Concept cars are such bittersweet things. They're often gorgeous and exciting, but all too often they never see production in even the most watered-down forms. And even then, the beautiful shapes aren't usually driveable. But in the case of this 1954 Plymouth Belmont concept, it is drivable, and it could be yours. This curvaceous roadster, which appeared at the 1954 New York Auto Show and was owned at one time by Chrysler styling master Virgil Exner, is driveable because under the long hood is a 241-cubic-inch V8 coupled to a three-speed automatic transmission. It's not a speed demon with just 157 horsepower, but that's OK, because you don't want to accelerate so fast you deprive the world of the Belmont's beautiful body. For a design from the 1950s, it's impressively restrained and elegant. The flanks are completely smooth and flowing, the only interruptions being the shut lines to the small doors. There aren't even door handles on the sides. Chrome and polished stainless accents are left only to the lights, bumpers, grille, and a slender line that runs along the peak of the fenders from stem to stern. Even the fins are small and subtle (relatively). Even the interior is simple and clean. The dashboard is made of machine-turned metal with white on black analog dials and compass-like needles. Everything else is wrapped in a very light beige leather (probably vinyl), and again, polished surfaces are kept to a minimum. Of course the other great part is that this concept is something you could own because it will go for auction at Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale auction. There's no publicly available estimate for how much money the car may bring, but it does have a reserve, so be prepared with a little extra cash even if you have the winning bid. The auction runs from Jan. 13 to Jan. 21. Related Video: Image Credit: Barrett-Jackson Chrysler Auctions Convertible Concept Cars Classics

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.

Ram helps power Chrysler to 11% gain in May

Mon, 03 Jun 2013

Increasing consumer demand for Ram pickup trucks and big SUVs has helped to boost May sales for Chrysler. Ram sales were up a total of 24 percent year-over-year for the month of May. In addition, Dodge sales increased by 23 percent in May, with the standout Durango clocking a 24-percent year-over-year improvement (with an updated 2014 model in the wings, incentives are thick on the ground for 2013 inventory). Fiat and Jeep were up only a modest one percent, however, and Chrysler brand sales were down by two percent against last year's figures.
Chrysler is quite pleased overall with brand performance, saying that this May marks the company's strongest in the past six years. It was also the 38th consecutive month showing year-over-year sales gains.
Eight of the automaker's vehicles set sales records for May, as well: Jeep Wrangler and Compass, Dodge Avenger and Challenger, Fiat 500, Chrysler 200 and Ram pickups. Scroll down to read more detail in Chrysler's press release.
