Before I begin I would encourage all serious buyers to contact me directly at: 517-425-0129. Although this is a 7 day auction I reserve the right to end early.

Wow! 1960 Chrysler New Yorker, 20' long and 4200 pounds of vintage Detroit steel. I've owned several classic cars over the years and this one is a first for me, as a matter of fact I think this is the first one of these I've ever seen. One of Chrysler's famous taglines was " The car of your life, for the time of your life!", and with the classic lines, giant fins and amazing amount of bright work, this probably was the car of your life in the early '60s. I've taken several pictures of the interesting features of this car, but to me the most amazing is the "AstraDome" 3D control center. This "bubble" houses all of the instruments, really a unique look. Of course, all controls are push button as well, not just the transmission but even the turn signals. Once again, I've owned some neat cars, but I think this one probably creates more interest and more double takes when cruising than any others I've had. Description as follows:

Mechanical:
* 413 cubic inch V-8 motor.
* 3 speed push button automatic
* Dual exhaust
* Power steering, power brakes
* Power windows
* Fresh tune up, oil change, belts, hoses etc.
* New radial wide white walls
* All exterior lights, turn signals, wipers, heater motor etc. work fine with the exception of fuel gauge, which works intermittently

Interior:
* Very clean bench seat interior
* Extremely nice dash area, all bright work, gauges etc. clean
* Still retains the original AM radio, still works
* Once again, the crazy "dome" gauge cluster, (see pics)
* Original headliner, no rips or tears, some discoloration

Exterior:
* Still retains its original paint code H: silverpine
* Very nice two tone paint quality, repainted some years back, still shows very well
* Vehicle has been properly stored for a number of years, no snow, no salt, very solid example, original floors, trunk etc.
* Nicely finished trunk area, still has original trunk trim boards and jacking instructions. I believe the matching wide whitewall spare is original to the car, bias ply tread. Has complete jack assembly as well.(see pics)
* All exterior chrome and trim in very nice condition. Some pitting in chrome evident around back up light housings.

To summarize: an extremely unique car, almost in the "one of a kind" category. Great addition to the collector or hobbyist or maybe you're just tired of the mainstream muscle cars and want to "dare to be different"!

Please take the time to review all the pics and dont hesitate to call with further questions.517-425-0129. I also have contact with a reasonable shipping company and would be glad to assist. Vehicle offered by Rare Rides, a licensed MI dealer.

FCA revises Renault merger offer in a bid to persuade French government

Sun, Jun 2 2019

PARIS – Fiat Chrysler is discussing a Renault special dividend and stronger job guarantees in a bid to persuade the French government to back its proposed merger between the carmakers, sources close to the discussions said. The improved offer, if formalized and accepted, would also see the combined company's operations headquartered in France and the French state granted a seat on its board, two people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Sunday. FCA spokeswoman Shawn Morgan declined to comment. The French government, Renault's biggest shareholder with a 15 percent stake, also declined to comment. A Renault spokesman did not return calls and messages seeking comment. Italian-American FCA is engaged in intensive discussions with Renault and the French government over the $35 billion merger proposal it pitched last Monday to create the world's third-biggest carmaker. The concessions being discussed are not definitive and depend on other aspects of an emerging compromise deal, both sources cautioned. They nonetheless increase the chances that the merger plan will be approved by Renault's board, on which the French state has two seats. The board meets again on Tuesday. Some analysts and French industry leaders had voiced doubts about the 5 billion euros ($5.6 billion) in claimed cost and investment savings, and whether the proposal represents a fair deal for Renault shareholders. A Renault dividend would improve the valuation in their favor, balancing a 2.5 billion euro proposed dividend to FCA shareholders. The sources did not elaborate on the potential size of a Renault payout. The merger plan presented on Monday would see the two carmakers acquired by a listed Dutch holding company whose ownership would be split equally between current FCA and Renault shareholders, after special dividend payments. FCA had proposed locating the combined group's operational head office in a neutral city, most likely London, but has now indicated readiness to base it in the greater Paris area, meeting a key French government demand, both sources said. The French government is also likely to be granted a seat on the board to reflect its 7.5 percent stake in the merged company, the people said. Nissan, whose matching 15 percent stake in its French alliance partner will also be diluted to 7.5 percent of the new group, receives a board seat under the plan unveiled on May 27.

Fiat buying rest of Chrysler in $4.35 billion deal, IPO avoided

Wed, 01 Jan 2014

Chrysler will now become a wholly owned member of the Fiat family, as it's been announced that the 41.46-percent stake in the Auburn Hills, MI-based manufacturer owned by the United Auto Workers' VEBA trust fund will be sold to the Italian company. Concluding the agreement will mark the closure of a piecemeal purchase process that could have resulted in an initial public offering.
The total cost of the sale will see the VEBA healthcare trust receive $4.35 billion, $3.65 billion of which will come from Fiat. $1.75 billion of that will be cash, while an additional $1.9 billion will be part of a "special distribution." An additional $700 million will be paid over four separate installments according to reports from Automotive News Europe and USA Today, although the shares will belong to Fiat following the first payment. The deal was reportedly initially struck on Sunday (though it is just being announced today), and is being portrayed as particularly good news for Fiat and Chrysler, which have now prevented the remaining shares going to the stock market in a UAW-forced IPO.
"The unified ownership structure will now allow us to fully execute our vision of creating a global automaker that is truly unique in terms of mix of experience, perspective and know-how, a solid and open organization that will ensure all employees a challenging and rewarding environment," Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne said in a statement.

Say goodbye to the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200

Wed, Jan 27 2016

Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne outlined an update to the company's five-year business plan Wednesday, and among the changes, the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 sedans will soon be phased out. The company's presentation to investors states that the "market shift from cars to trucks and UVs [utility vehicles is] now seen as permanent shift in demand," and FCA wants to respond as quickly as possible. Killing the 200 and Dart will allow FCA to build more Jeep and Ram models at the Sterling Heights, MI, and Belvidere, IL, plants where the sedans were produced. We already knew FCA was planning to shift 200 and Dart production to Mexico, to free up the Sterling Heights facility for Ram 1500 production, and the Belivdere site for Jeep Cherokee output. The Cherokee will move from its current home in Toledo, OH, to allow for increased Wrangler production. It's no shock that FCA wants to shift its focus to crossovers and trucks. In December 2015, for example, combined sales of the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 were 15,310. The Jeep Cherokee, which uses the same platform as the Dart and 200, outsold both models combined, with 24,049 sales. Both the Dart and 200 had troubles from the beginning. Marchionne recently blamed designers for the 200 not receiving a Consumer Reports 'recommended' rating, and the Dart was one of the lowest-scoring cars in a CR reliability study.
