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!!!

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Dodge Demon's deliverer? FCA files for 'Angel' trademark

Thu, Aug 3 2017

We've driven the Dodge Demon, and despite its satanic overtones and 840 freakin' horsepower under the hood, the car is actually quite well-behaved. At least it didn't bite our head off or drag us into any sort of inferno. Still, Dodge might be looking to balance its lineup with something with a bit more righteous, as FCA has filed for a trademark of the moniker "Angel."... According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, FCA filed the application on July 17, 2017, and it applies to "Motor vehicles, namely, passenger automobiles, their structural parts, trim and badges." Essentially, that's all the information we have to go on at this point. It could mean that Dodge is planning to further capitalize on the Demon name by creating another variant, or a completely different car. But what's the opposite of the Demon? Could it be a more road-friendly version of the drag-focused Demon? (And wouldn't that just be a Hellcat Widebody with more power?) Maybe it's a performance hybrid, as FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne recently said that the automaker would electrify half its fleet by 2022. For now, we can merely speculate as to what the Angel would be. And you can, too. Get at it in the comments section, below. And while you're at it, what name do you think FCA should trademark next, and what sort of car would that be?Related Video: Related Gallery 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon: First Drive View 37 Photos News Source: US Patent and Trademark Office via FCA Authority Auto News Chrysler Dodge Future Vehicles Performance FCA trademark dodge demon

Ford delays North American production restart from coronavirus lockdown

Tue, Mar 31 2020

Ford said on Tuesday it was postponing its plan to restart production at its North American plants due to safety concerns for its workers amid the coronavirus pandemic. To generate cash, the No. 2 U.S. automaker had said last week it was poised to restart production at some plants in North America as early as April 6, bringing back such profitable vehicles as its top-selling F-150 full-sized pickup, the Transit commercial van and SUVs. But on Tuesday, Ford said it had been aiming to resume production at several key U.S. plants on April 14, but would now instead do so at dates it would announce later on. "The health and safety of our workforce, dealers, customers, partners and communities remains our highest priority," Kumar Galhotra, president of Ford's North American operations, said in a statement. Still, the automaker will open a plant in Ypsilanti, Michigan, during the week of April 20, that will make ventilators to treat patients afflicted by the coronavirus. Rival Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said last week it plans to resume production in North America on April 13. General Motors has shuttered its plants indefinitely and has not provided a date for vehicle production to restart. It is facing a delay in the production launch of its redesigned large SUVs and is delaying work on other SUVs. "Once it is safe to resume production, we will do so," a GM spokesman said. As of Monday, Volkswagen was shooting for an April 5 reopening at its Tennessee plant. Honda, Nissan and Subaru facilities in North America will remain closed through April 6, and Hyundai through April 10. Toyota was planning to reopen its North American plants April 17.
