Fort Myers, Florida, United States
|
Up for sale is a beautiful 1953 Dodge Coronet. Engine is the original 241 cu. In. Red Ram Hemi with factory dual point distributor, 6 volt system and Gyromatic transmission. Running gear and brakes are in great working order with 97k miles on the car. The car was resprayed some time ago in the factory color of Esquire Red. The overall condition of this car is great considering that it is original and appears to have been taken care of fairly well. Car is very reliable and can be driven daily. There is an oil change sticker in the door jamb that states 89k miles in 1973. There is another from southern California. I can make out 195’ something so it may have been from out there originally. It was in Sioux City Iowa when I found it. The steering and overall chassis are original. The car wanders a bit but drives fine otherwise. The interior is complete however needs restored. The dash board and steering wheel are complete and in really good condition. All of the dash lights work and dim when the panel light is adjusted. Gauges work. Fuel gauge doesn't read correctly. Heater, defroster and original two speed electric wipers all work. Glove box is fine. The radio turns on but is not working. This car has factory front and rear speakers both of which are still in the car. Headliner is there. The interior light is there and works. The front seat upper has a cover over the original material and is very old and torn. The upholstery on the lower section of the front seat is coming apart. The rear is original as well and in good general shape with some old mineral stains and small areas that are torn. Car has original seat belts up front and aftermarket belts at the rear seat. The driver’s side door glass is cracked but whole. The rest of the glass is in good general condition. All four door windows roll up and down cleanly. Trunk has the original hounds tooth mat made from a weave material and is stained. The spare tire is an old Allstate Cushion tubeless wide white wall 7.10-15 tire and in really good condition. The original jack is present as well. The exterior trim, bumpers and grill are all complete. There is pitting in some of the chrome, the bumpers have some surface rust, scratches and general use marks from 61 years of service however are very straight. The side trim is complete and so are the various emblems and hood ornament. The car has some rust in the front passenger floor up around the body mount. Somebody did a repair on the driver’s side that isn’t impressive. Both of these spots are from a leaky cowl vent and rubber floor mats over the 61 year life of the car. Otherwise the car is very solid including the trunk and spare tire well. This car isn’t perfect or close and has various dings, blemishes, scratches, chips, etc. that would be normal on an original 61 year old driver. Overall this is a very classic 1950s Americana piece. It’s been fantastic for cruising and general hopping around. This car puts more smiles on faces than I can explain.
Title is clear, in my name and registered here in Florida. This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranties or guarantees offered or implied. Sale is final, buyer is liable for any shipping. Please ask any questions you may have. The car is available locally (Fort Myers, FL) for in person inspections. I require a $1000.

I will hold the car up to a month with proper communication. |

Ram, Jeep redesigns on hold, Alfa Romeo models may come sooner
Wed, Jun 3 2015Last summer, FCA outlined an ambitious five-year plan that sketched out the company's product intentions for each of its brands through the end of 2018. However, even the best strategies sometimes need tweaking. According to Reuters after speaking with unnamed people at auto suppliers, FCA is now possibly delaying at least a dozen projects in North America for a variety of reasons. From vehicle to vehicle, these postponements allegedly last anywhere from just a few months to over a year. The sources from the suppliers claim that in some cases these tweaks are for engineering and design changes. The next-gen Ram 1500 reportedly has among the shorter delays and is being pushed from mid-2017 to November 2017, according to Reuters. Also, the much-discussed future Jeep Wrangler is allegedly moving a little later to July 2017. Among the vehicles purportedly seeing longer delays, the next-gen Grand Cherokee could get pushed back about a year to 2018. That then forces the launch of the three-row, luxury Grand Wagoneer to be even further away. Jeep's upcoming C-segment CUV and the all-new Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Challenger might also see postponements. The one brand allegedly seeing an accelerated plan is Alfa Romeo. Without going into detail, the sources from these suppliers claim that the Italian automaker is getting even more vehicles for its lineup and could get them even faster than planned. "Those plans need to be flexible and fluid, with the potential to add some vehicles, pull some forward and extend the life cycle of others," FCA said to Reuters about all of these allegations. "We look at these programs on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis." Investment in the auto industry has been a major topic for FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne as of late. He believes consolidation is necessary so that companies aren't burning money on the same projects.

Dodge not being dropped by Chrysler, CEO reaffirms
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Dodge isn't going anywhere. Despite some rumor and speculation over the future of the crosshair grille and the cars that wear it, Dodge brand boss, Tim Kuniskis, sat down with TheDetroitBureau.com, explaining that the marque isn't going anywhere. His sentiments echo those of SRT boss Ralph Gilles, who told a group of enthusiasts in July that "Dodge is here to stay!"
Dodge's death won't be "a part of a master plan to consolidate brands," Kuniskis told TheDetroitBureau.com. Instead, the brand, which is ultimately under the command of Fiat/Chrysler CEO, Sergio Marchionne, will likely ditch some of its badge-engineered models, like the Dodge Grand Caravan. A more focused Dodge, which was something Gilles has already hinted at, will likely see it exploring areas of the market that haven't been exploited by other Chrysler brands.
Kuniskis, not surprisingly, wasn't willing to delve into any detailed product plans, telling TDB that the size of the brand's lineup "remains to be seen." Regardless of how big the brand actually ends up being (it is presently Chrysler's volume brand - and not by a little), hopefully the statements from Kuniskiss can put the rumors of a Dodge closure to bed.
Has Dodge stepped in it again with Scat Pack lawsuit?
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Lawsuits are an unfortunate part of doing business in just about any industry, so the latest complaint filed by a California-based aftermarket firm against Chrysler would seem to be nothing more than business as usual. But this isn't the first time the two companies have sparred over this particular issue.
According to a report from Automotive News, the dispute revolves around the Scat Pack name that Chrysler first offered on the Charger, Coronet, Dart and Super Bee starting in 1968. Scat Enterprises, a manufacturer of crankshafts and other components for Dodges and other vehicles, sued Chrysler for using its name. A few years later the Scat Pack disappeared from the Dodge catalog.
Fast forward to August 2013 when Chrysler applied to register the Scat Pack name anew. The US Patent and Trademark Office turned down Chrysler's application, but the automaker proceeded anyway, unveiling new Scat Packs for the Challenger, Charger and Dart at last year's SEMA show.
