Supremely rare, imposing and elegant Imperial L80 Club Coupe with Rumble seat coachbuilt by Le Baron, one of the 25 produced by Chrysler during 1928/9 making it one of the rarest of all the vintage models. It is believed only two survive today.

This is the ex Pat Craig of Scranton CA show car, restored some 35 years ago and the subject of several magazine articles. Following its export to Europe in 1995, it was on display as a static exhibit at a luxury resort before being being put into storage for many years. Now fully recomissioned and ready to use, it is a testament to the quality of the original US restoration that this magnificent automobile remains so well preserved. It has new green leather upholstery and new dark green mohair roof fabric. Road tested once again in 2012 as part of an article for one of the UK's leading classic car publications, the journalist summed up the experience as follows:-

" It will guarantee exclusivity...Want to be king of the road? Nothing else will do".

The original features include beautifully proportioned close-coupled coupe coachwork with Rumble seat by Le Baron, Buffalo wire wheels with twin side-mounted spares, golf club compartment, opening front windscreen, Arvin heater, Stewart vacuum operated fuel delivery system, very advanced (for the era) all hydraulic braking system, opening rear cabin window, machine-turned aluminium dashboard. The car retains its original 5200cc straight six engine producing 112 BHP which Chrysler claimed to be America's most powerful production car at the time. Designed to allow the Imperial brand to compete with the prestige marques of Stutz, Cadillac and Packard, the Imperial L80 cost in excess of $3,000, a huge amount even by the standards of the roaring 20's just preceding the Great Depression. It is also the last Chrysler model to wear the fluted radiator design before losing the legal action filed against them by Vauxhall for design copyright infringement.

The car is in currently the UK and is UK registered at present. Shipping arranged worldwide in 20' container, realistic offers welcome, part trades against RHD classic Rolls/Bentley/Alvis/Jaguar projects always considered.

Approximate shipping costs to US East coast ports in 20' container US$ 3,000.

Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.

"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.

Fri, Sep 18 2015

FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the Weekly Recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. FCA reached a tentative labor agreement with UAW leadership. The major focus of the new deal reportedly includes: the eventual elimination of the two-tier pay scale [00:00:30] and pooling worker health care. Now that a leadership agreement is in place, the deal will be sent to FCA's rank-and-file. FCA has about 36,000 hourly employees. We got a first look at the interior and exterior of the 10th-generation Civic. Honda expects the new sedan to dominate the C-segment when it hits dealerships later this fall. Civic coupe, five-door hatchback, Si and Type R will all come later. The 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show is in the books and there was a lot of news to get excited about. [00:01:00] Porsche introduced a fully electric concept car in the Mission E. If they make this car, Porsche could give Tesla nightmares. We also saw SUVs from Jaguar and Bentley. There were two beautiful Italian convertibles from Ferrari and Lamborghini. Meanwhile, Mercedes introduced a concept of their own in the IAA - a vehicle that experiments with adaptable aerodynamics. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday. Plus we'll have some added insight on General Motors' deal to [00:01:30] avoid federal prosecution.
