A brief history of the car.
1951-1975
Was originally purchased in Inianapolis by the owner of Capitol Glass Company, Ralph Reibeling on 3-22-1951. The original owner kept very good servicing records. For the first 7 years he took it in to the Chrysler Agency every month for servicing. Even after he purchased another vehicle for his main car, he still took it to the dealer for transmission rebuilding.
1975-1999
The second owner rarely drove the car but had the engine overhauled when the head gasket failed and leaked coolant into the cylinders(12,000 miles back). Sometime during this ownership the car was repainted. In 1986 the car was used in the movie "Hoosier's" with Gene Hackman.
1999-2007
The 3rd owner did little more than keep it in dry storage and roadworthy. In their 8 years of ownership it was driven less than 4,000 miles.
2007-
I purchased the car from the 3rd owner in Wolcottville, Indiana.
The car is all original except for the repaint from between 25 and 35 years ago and the front seat cushion and the package tray was recovered in matching original type wool broadcloth. It has had the oil pan removed, cleaned and replaced with fresh gaskets. The fuel pump and water pump have been replaced. The relays in each door for the power windows have been cleaned and serviced for worry free operation of the power windows(fully electric power windows, an industry first). It has the Prestomatic 4 speed fluid drive "Tip Toe" automatic transmission that has never given any trouble and is effortless to drive.
The electrical system is the original 6 volt system with original bulls eye headlights, electric wipers.
This car is ready to be driven anywhere. We have used the car for car club tours(both AACA and CCCA). It has just had a though inspection and is ready for spring.

Chrysler fires protest organizer at MI assembly plant
Tue, 12 Mar 2013Chrysler has reportedly fired a Warren Stamping Plant worker for what the company is calling a violation of its code of conduct. Alex Wassell (left), a 20-year veteran with the automaker, was suspended without pay after he was quoted in an article in The Detroit News. The 63-year-old welder repairman helped organize a demonstration against a new work schedule and was protesting outside the Michigan plant on February 28 when he was interviewed. Chrysler then fired Wassell when the paper published his comments. Wassell, has since filed a grievance and says that he's looking for an amicable settlement between his union and his former employer.
Meanwhile, multiple civil liberties groups have spoken out against Chrysler's decision to dismiss Wassell. Both the National Lawyer's Guild and the American Civil Liberties Union have released statements on the situation, with the ACLU saying "Employees have a right to air their grievances, even if that means a public demonstration or a comments to the media."
According to The Detroit News, Chrysler spokesperson Jodi Tinson said that Wassell was fired for "engaging in activity constituting or appearing to constitute a conflict with the interest of the company."
2015 Chrysler 200
Thu, 20 Mar 2014For the last seven years, the Chrysler Sebring/200 has been a car that few people have managed to say anything good about. When you saw one on the road, it was probably silver and you probably assumed it was rented - especially if it was a convertible. In fact, this writer has never been in one. Ever. I've only watched them go by, trailed always by a roiling wake of invective and vituperation, a lone defender or two asserting meekly and in vain, "It's actually not that bad..."
With roughly 2.3-million units sold every year in the midsize sedan segment where the 200 lives, even tallying 125,476 sales in 2012 (when the 200 was the best-selling car in the Chrysler Group) was never going to be enough. This is the brand's volume offering and the entry point for new-car buyers before they move up to something like a full-size or a crossover. Chrysler's 2011 facelift and rebranding program was a pretty valiant attempt at putting lipstick on a Sebring, but the automaker needed to do a lot better, in every way to command more consideration, sales, respect and resale value - and everyone at The Pentastar knew it.
Enter the 2015 Chrysler 200. This is the sedan that "charts a new course for the Chrysler brand," from its hovering wing badge on the grille to the one billion dollars invested in the company's suburban Detroit Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, including more than doubling the number of quality control inspectors in the new quality assurance center.
Marchionne may stay with FCA until 2020
Mon, Aug 31 2015We might get to see Sergio Marchionne and his vast array of sweaters in the auto industry for even longer than expected. The FCA CEO suggested last year that he would retire from the automaker when its current five-year plan was complete in 2018. Now, he has tentatively extended that point out to at least 2020. "I can do this for another five years if you push me, right? Beyond that, I ain't gonna do it, and I don't want to," he said to Automotive News. That would give Marchionne a 16-year career at the top from joining Fiat in 2004 to possibly leaving FCA in 2020. Although, take the CEO's statement with a grain of salt because he has made multiple statements about the timing for his retirement. In 2012, Marchionne said he would only remain in charge until 2015, which is, well, now. Those five years might also go quite quickly because Marchionne is a busy guy with the Ferrari IPO, the attempted merger with General Motors, implementing FCA's five-year plan, and many other projects. He's already considering the next CEO, though. "My purpose in life is to find the Kuniskises of the world, the Manleys, the Biglands, the Palmers," Marchionne said to Automotive News, referencing the heads at Dodge, Jeep, FCA North America, and the company's chief financial officer, respectively. "I told them, 'One of you is going to do what I do one day. I don't know who that is, but one of you is going to do it.'"
