RARE opportunity for Chrysler fans!

I am selling a rare 1956 Chrysler New Yorker automobile for a friend of mine who lives out of state. This rare find has been in storage for over 13 years and has only 39,768 miles on the car. It has the original paint from the factory on it and is the rare 4 door hardtop model which Chrysler only produced 3,599 units of in 1956. The auto has the original factory Kelsey-Hays wire wheels that are a rare item to behold. The auto is a dash mounted push button automatic model as the picture shows. The engine is the Chrysler original 5.6L 354 HEMI model with 280 h.p. with factory duel exhausts. It still has the factory spare tire in the trunk as in the photo. This car was purchased many years ago in El Monte Calif. in April 1987 from an elderly lady and then driven to the Chicago area with no problems. This auto is major rust free! There is only mild rust on the surface of the rocker panel bottoms and some slightly blistered chrome on the car. The car is solid and can be verified in the pictures showing the under hood and under trunk lid. As stated earlier this auto was removed from storage after 13 years and sent to a mechanic to get it running and to see if anything needed repair. A new fuel pump was installed and a new float assembly was installed in the fuel tank. Check out the pictures of the headliner and there is no sun damage to the inside rear window or padded dash. The engine runs very quite and the transmission shifts great. A new battery was also installed in the auto with new fluids. I would admit the auto should most likely get new points and plugs installed although the car starts and runs fine. The brakes should also most likely be checked out since the car is this old. The radio comes on but I cannot get any stations and I do not actually know what else would be needed but again all the parts are there for your approval. The car can be seen in Dixon, Illinois and I can be contacted for an appointment at 815-288-4139 or email pslonsky@comcast.net. Again this is a RARE opportunity for you to own a very good condition 1956 Chrysler with only 39,768 miles on it. Please contact me if you have any questions and arrange a look see if you desire.

SRT reveals Satin Vapor Edition 300, Charger and Challenger SRT models

Fri, 07 Feb 2014

With the exception of some notable truck and van introductions, Chrysler brands have tended to use the Chicago Auto Show to bring out new special editions, pimp their aftermarket parts support or indulge in the occasional flight of fancy. That plan is holding true for 2014, as well. Cases in point are these new Satin Vapor Editions of the 2014-model-year Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 - all from SRT.
The Satin Vapor name may sound like a failed 1970s glam-rock band, or a pseudo-gynecological diagnosis from the Old West, but is, in fact, pretty much a tape-and-trim package for this trio of hi-po Mopars. 300, Challenger and Charger alike come shod with 20-inch aluminum wheels finished in Black Satin Vapor Chrome, and are accented with Satin Black bits aplenty. The 300 gets blacked-out mirrors, spoiler and roof; the Challenger applies it to mirrors and its fuel door; while the Charger has the stuff covering its roof, hood and Super Bee tail graphic.
Interiors of the cars have been mildly updated as well, with all three getting some combination of Nappa leather, ultra-suede and carbon-fiberish finishes.

Chrysler shows creative side with employee art exhibit

Wed, 27 Nov 2013

The United Auto Workers and Chrysler recently sponsored 92 works of art created by 50 of the automaker's unionized and salaried employees for the 2013-14 Artists at Work Exhibition, the ninth such show, which recognizes the creative process required to make art and manufacture vehicles. Chrysler says the event is "the country's only juried art show sponsored by a major corporation and a labor union." Unfortunately, the exhibit is not open to the public, but we have images to share of the winning pieces as well as other interesting exhibits in the gallery above.
"Art and manufacturing have more in common than you might think," says Keith Mickens, Chrysler-UAW National Training Center co-director from the UAW. "The creative process involved in producing a memorable image on a canvas can be used to help build quality vehicles on an assembly line."
A diverse range of art forms are showcased, from metal sculptures to ceramics to photography to paintings and more. Four Detroit-area professional artists narrowed down over 600 submissions to the 92 works of art that were shown at the exhibit, then awarded "Best of Show" prizes to three employees for their work (the first three images in our gallery) and selected 11 employees for honorable mentions. The overall winner is the sculpture above by Joseph Aiuto, titled "Childhood Anxiety."

Chrysler nets $1.6B income in Q4, Fiat profit up 5%

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Chrysler announced its 2013 financial results today and unveiled its new name and decidedly bank-like logo. Amid the announcement, Chrysler posted big gains in income, while Fiat didn't perform to analysts' expectations.
For 2013, Chrysler had revenue of $72.1 billion, up 10 percent from 2012. Net income reached $2.8 billion, a 65-percent increase. It was the company's third straight year of annual profits.
In terms of unit sales, Chrysler sold 2.4 million cars worldwide in 2013, up 9 percent. According to Automotive News, 1.8 million of those vehicles were sold in the US, a 14-percent increase. The sales growth boosted Chrysler's US market share to 11.4 percent, up 0.2 percent.
