History

The introduction of the all new 1965 Chrysler line featured ads proclaiming “The most beautiful Chrysler ever built, Agreed?” The lineup was the first effort of a new to Chrysler designer, Elwood Engel, who had defected from Ford in 1961. He had designed the elegant 1961 Lincoln lines as well. The public must have agreed, as a record 224,061 new Chryslers of all series rolled off the line at Jefferson assembly in Detroit. They came with a 340 HP 413 cubic inch 4 barrel V8 engine, backed by a 727 Torqueflite transmission. Power Steering and Power drum brakes were standard. Many updates were in place for the 1966 model year including enlarging the engine to 440 cubic inches and 350 Horsepower! The 1965 production record was eclipsed in 1966 with 264,887 units produced!

The 1966 Chrysler New Yorker Town Sedan featured in this auction sold new at Knauz Chrysler Plymouth in Lake Forest Illinois to a gentleman named James Mannino. He and his wife used it as their driver car until 2007. They drove this as their everyday car for 41 years! It is still a Nice Car! Jim passed away and ownership went to his stepson. I bought it from him in May 2008. Both license plate frames and a keychain from the selling dealer are included as well as all of the original keys. The car is equipped with Power steering and brakes, Air conditioning, working factory AM/FM Radio with rear seat speaker, Power trunk release, remote drivers mirror, rear window defroster, power windows, 6 way Power seat and air shocks. Everything is operational except the air is not as cold as it should be.

Condition

This is a Nice garage kept car. The car runs, drives and stops great! When I bought it the passenger side front fender and hood were damaged. Other than that the car is nice original paint. I installed a used fender and hood and repainted the top of the front fenders and the hood. The hood is slightly warped from the sandblasting process. There is a scrape and some rust down low on the passenger side quarter panel and a few small bubbles elsewhere. I can find no other rust on this car. The front seat was rebuilt and recovered in incorrect materials. The rest of the interior and trunk are in beautiful original condition. It still sports its original Goodyear Power Cushion spare tire and jack. The really good news about this car is the mechanicals! They always had the car serviced at the Chrysler dealer. There is a complete paper history of this car starting at day one! They spent in excess of $10,000.00 on this car from 2001 to 2007! All of the receipts are included. Its original 440 engine was sent off by the Chrysler dealer to Jasper Engines and Transmissions for a factory rebuild, they also did the A/C system, brakes to include new parking brake cables etc. The list goes on… I just put on 4 new all season Radial tires. I have included a photo of the Jasper rebuild tag on the engine block. It does not use any oil between the 3,000 mile oil change intervals! I have personally driven this car over 12,000 miles in the last 6 years including three trips to the Fall AACA Hershey car meet. The current mileage is 147,154. You can really drive this Chrysler anywhere with confidence.

2014 Ram Power Wagon is bigger and badder than ever [w/video]

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

"The 2014 Ram Power Wagon fills a need for those who travel into extreme terrain for rescue or recreation." - Reid Bigland
More, more, more. That's the philosophy behind the latest Ram Power Wagon. The extra-brawny, Ram 2500-based pickup is back for 2014, and naturally, it's even more extreme than its predecessor.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

Analysts wary over FCA lawsuit but say emissions not as bad as VW

Wed, May 24 2017

MILAN - Any potential fines Fiat Chrysler (FCA) may need to pay to settle a US civil lawsuit over diesel emissions will unlikely top $1 billion, analysts said, adding the case appeared less serious than at larger rival Volkswagen. The US government filed a civil lawsuit on Tuesday accusing FCA of illegally using software to bypass emission controls in 104,000 vehicles sold since 2014, which it said led to higher than allowable levels of nitrogen oxide (NOx) that are blamed for respiratory illnesses. FCA's shares dropped 16 percent in January when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) first raised the accusations, adding the carmaker could face a maximum fine of about $4.6 billion. The stock has been under pressure since. Volkswagen agreed to spend up to $25 billion in the United States to address claims from owners, environmental regulators, U.S. states and dealers. FCA, which sits on net debt of 5.1 billion euros ($5.70 billion), lacks VW's cash pile but analysts said its case looked much less severe. While VW admitted to intentionally cheating, Fiat Chrysler denies any wrongdoing. Authorities will have to prove that FCA's software constitutes a so-called "defeat device" and that it was fitted in the vehicles purposefully to bypass emission controls. Even if found guilty, the number of FCA vehicles targeted by the lawsuit is less than a fifth of those in the VW case. Applying calculations used in the German settlement, analysts estimate potential civil and criminal charges for Fiat Chrysler of around $800 million at most. Barclays has already cut its target price on the stock to take such a figure into account. Analysts also noted that FCA's vehicles are equipped with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems for cutting NOx emissions, so it is likely that any problem could be fixed through a software update. "Should this be the case, we estimate a total cost per vehicle of not more than around $100, i.e. around $10 million in aggregate," Evercore ISI analyst George Galliers said in a note. The estimates exclude any additional investments FCA may be asked to make in zero emissions vehicles infrastructure and awareness as was the case with VW. FCA said last week it would update the software in the vehicles in question, hoping it would alleviate the regulators' concern, but analysts said it may have been too little too late. The carmaker is also facing accusations over its diesel emissions in Europe.
