Rare 1955 Imperial Newport 2 door. One of only 3418 ever built, this vehicle is from my
father’s car collection. My father purchased the car in 1995 from a man in Oakland Ca. During his ownership here
in California he kept the car garaged and drove it occasionally on club functions. The battery is new and the 331
Hemi engine starts right up. The car runs, drives and stops well. The master cylinder and power brake booster were
replaced a few years ago. The car comes with real wire wheels. The glass all looks good. The car has some pitting
of the chrome, some surface rust in a few spots, some surface cracking of the leather interior, one tear in the
seats (measuring about an inch long). Original color is cream and it is now painted white with the gold top.
Hagerty valuation tools lists the value of this car at $79,700 if it were restored to “#1 Concours” condition
and at a value of $16,800 if in “#4 Fair” condition. This car meets or slightly exceeds the #4 condition
description but is not a “#3 Good” example, in my opinion.
Brief History of the 1955 Imperial: With understated elegance and a well-deserved reputation for excellent
engineering, the Imperial marked the pinnacle of the Chrysler product line. Notably, 1955 marked the registration
of Imperial as a separate marquee within the Chrysler Corporation, and the completely new-for-1955 models benefited
from the full stylistic influence of the renowned Virgil Exner.
For 1955, Imperials were available in two forms: the C-69 short wheelbase version known as the Newport Coupe or
Sedan, along with the C-70 long wheelbase sedan version named the Crown Imperial. Featuring excellent build
quality, the upscale Imperial was priced from $4,483, providing a very attractive alternative to the contemporary
offerings from Cadillac and Lincoln.

Fiat seeking $10B in financing to buy Chrysler

Thu, 30 May 2013

As Fiat looks to become the full owner of Chrysler, all it has standing in its way is the retiree trust of the United Auto Workers, which currently holds the remaining 41.5 percent of the company as the result of the Pentastar's bankruptcy deal. The Detroit News is reporting that that Fiat is currently talking to numerous banks in an attempt to raise around $10 billion to fund the purchase of Chrysler's remaining stake with enough left over to refinance the debt of both companies. We've known that Fiat has been working to obtain the capital to buy out Chrysler for some time now, but this is the first time we've seen Fiat tip its hand about how much cash it thinks it will need to close the deal.
The first order of business is a legal dispute over the value of the UAW's stake in Chrysler, which the report indicates could cost Fiat around $3.5 billion. The acquisition of remaining shares could happen by this summer, but it sounds like CEO Sergio Marchionne (above) might not be ready for a full merger until next year.

2019 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivan gets sinister S package

Fri, Jun 22 2018

If you prefer shuttling your kids and their juice boxes to soccer practices and piano recitals with a smaller carbon footprint, but you wanna look gangsta doing it, then has Chrysler got a minivan for you. Starting in July, the automaker will offer the murdered-out S Appearance Package on the Pacifica Hybrid, too, following its "wildly successful" debut in the gasoline combustion version last fall. The details appear to be mostly the same as on the gas versions. Buyers will get lots of exterior gloss black accents, including grille surrounds, eyebrow headlamp accents, and window and rear valance moldings. The front and rear Chrysler wing badges are likewise done in black, but the Hybrid version comes with a special teal insert to highlight its green bonafides. The "Pacifica," "S" and "eHybrid" badges also get the "Black Noise" finish. A black roof rack and 18-inch wheels with "Black Noise" finish are now standard. Inside, the S Appearance brings black seats with gray accents and the "S" logo, light gray stitching and black accents on the wheel, and light gray stitching and the imaginatively named Anodized Ice Cave bezels on the instrument panel and door trim. Everything else in the interior is as blacked-out as your hard-as-nails, tree-hugging soul. You can order the S Appearance Package on the 2019 Pacifica Hybrid models with any exterior paint color, not just black, starting next month, for $595. It'll arrive in showrooms in the fall.

1950s car ads are timeless

Sat, Aug 8 2015

Usually around the Super Bowl a few great car commercials show up, but for the most part auto ads today pale in comparison to the '1950s and '60s. In an era with a truly viable magazine industry, automakers would take out gorgeous full-page spreads to get the word out about their wares. It was also a time when imports were just hitting the US, and there was a boom in sports cars. Car and Driver has gone for a dig into its advertising archives from when the book was known as Sports Cars Illustrated for a truly great viewing experience. You can imagine a young Don Draper mulling over the copy for these ads, but some of it is laughably quaint today. For example, there's a great image of a driver whipping an Austin-Healey 100 around a track. The italicized red text proudly proclaims, "From 0 to 60 MPH in 10.5 seconds." One of the beautiful parts about these advertisements is that you seldom see photos of the cars. Instead, there are often detailed drawings that slightly distort the vehicles' lines. With this approach, the Porsche 356 ends up looking far more curvaceous than in real life. Plus, the front end of the Chrysler 300 looks large enough to land a helicopter on. The whole thing is worth scrolling through. There are some fascinating glimpses into auto history like an ad for Abarth exhausts before the brand was just known for tuning Fiats.
