1955 Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe Convertible RARE RARE
Up for auction is a 1955 Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe Convertible with a 331 Hemi engine. Only 946 New Yorker convertibles were produced in 1955. Very few of this year and model remain. According to an internet post a few years ago, only 15 exist worldwide. The car has been owned and stored by me under cover for the last 25 years. This is the same model and color that Ernest Hemmingway ordered and imported to Cuba in 1955. This one is Vin #5539793. The paint code on the data plate is 48, body Desert Sand with a Black spear insert. The interior is Navajo Orange and Desert Sand. The seats were reupholstered in vinyl sometime in the past. Presently, the car is painted in gray epoxy primer. It is a running car with a Chrysler Firepower 331 cu. in. Hemi. serial # NE5548844. I believe this to be the original engine. It is equipped with a four barrel carburetor and dual exhausts. The engine starts and runs smoothly and can be driven onto a trailer or flatbed truck. The gas tank has been restored and installed. The brakes are not functional and need rebuilding. The emergency brake is functional and will allow the car to be moved and stopped. The power top, power windows and power seat are not electrically connected. All wiring is present. While needing a full restoration, the car is complete except for a few missing items such as hood ornament, horn ring and button, top boot cover and radio antenna. Body work required includes right rear quarter panel(see picture), a 6"x6" cut out located behind the right side convertible top hydraulic cylinder which needs a patch. The spare tire well has a rust through. Included with the car is a usable spare tire well. The frame and cross members are in excellent condition. A body support(outrigger) requires replacement. The interior floors, trunk, door and doorjambs are in good solid condition. All glass is present. A front bumper piece containing the parking lamps will need to be attached. All pieces are included. The odometer reads 09107, actual mileage unknown. All four tires hold air. This is an opportunity to own and restore an exceptional and very desirable rare mid-fifties Chrysler convertible. Don't miss this one. HAPPY BIDDING!! Items sold by me are used, old, as is, where is. No guarantees are expressed or implied. PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING.

Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.
Chrysler 200 replacement coming in January
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Autoweek reports the next Chrysler 200 will bow early next year. CEO Sergio Marchionne has said the 2015 model will debut next January, and Chrysler plans to cut the 2014 200 model year short to make way for the model's successor. According to AW, internal documents reveal 2014 model production will start this July and run through early January, 2014. The memos don't specify whether its Dodge Avenger twin will also see a shortened model year (the latter was originally rumored for discontinuation, but a successor is apparently back on the table). Chrysler is investing some $1 billion to construct paint and body facilities at its Sterling Heights, Michigan plant for the next-generation 200.
From what we've heard so far, we can expect the 2015 200 to bring a new design language to the Chrysler brand that will eventually bleed into the automaker's other products. Early reports have also suggested the four door will boast a nine-speed automatic transmission and return up to 38 miles per gallon.
Chrysler executed a very successful facelift in 2011, turning the flailing Sebring into the newly minted 200. Buyers responded enthusiastically, with sales jumping 44 percent in 2012. That step up was enough to make the 200 the brand's best-selling car. The momentum hasn't slackened, either, with sales up 21 percent during the first two months of this year.
Dodge offering novel 1-year lease on '14 Challenger and Charger models
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Dodge is just days away from unveiling refreshed versions of the Charger and Challenger at the 2014 New York Auto Show, models promising updated styling and new powertrain options. Depending on how you look at it, the company is either so confident in its forthcoming 2015 models that it's offering an interesting Double-Up lease deal on the current vehicles, or it's so eager to clear out existing stock that it's resorting to novel lease deals. In any case, what they present is an interesting scenario, one which allows buyers to get the existing model right now, and then trade up to the facelifted 2015 models in one year.
Starting April 17, when the refreshed cars debut through the end of August, buyers can lease a 2014 Charger or Challenger for one year and exchange it for a three-year lease on a 2015 model next year, with no additional money down and the same monthly payment. Customers can even switch vehicles when the new lease starts. If drivers want to buy the '15, they get $1,000 off the purchase price. To be eligible, both leases must use the same dealership and be financed through Chrysler Capital. The Double-Up deal excludes the SRT versions of both cars and Charger SE models.
To offset the flood of one-year-old models coming back to dealerships, Dodge has struck a deal with rental car agency Enterprise, which has agreed to buy them all. "One-year leases are highly unusual in the industry," said company spokesperson Ralph Kisiel, and the fleet sale deal is what makes it possible.
