Up for sale or possible trade is an amazing example of 1950's big fin cars. This 1957 Chrysler Imperial Coupe
sports a spunky and excellent running 392 Hemi engine with a smooth shifting Torqueflight transmission. The running
gear in this car is in excellent condition, starts right up, idles smooth, no smoke, no leaks, no overheating.
She drives down the road just like she looks and gets plenty of attention. You can drive for a long time before you
see another Imperial as nice as this.
The History:
As told to me, this car was part of a very large collection of cars stored many years in Florida. It had not been
on the road in well over 20 years and the mileage on the car is most likely original, but no way to know for
certain. the lack of rust would indicate the car was indeed inside as there was very little rust to deal with
during a moderate restoration.
Work done:
When I got the car nearly a year ago, it arrived in completely original and unmolested condition, a true survivor.
She was a dull gold color, the interior was also gold and in need of replacing. The body was very sound. It is a
rock solid car wit very little rust issues. The right front fender has been replaced as there were too many dents
to try to fix, the left rear quarter panel had some rust along the trim line but was easily repaired. The rockers,
floorboards, engine compartment, inner fenders and all else was very solid. There was a touch of rot in the right
rear of the trunk but was removed and repaired.
All the panels are original to the car, the doors, hood, truck lid etc all came with her. The engine and trans
were pulled, gone over, checked out good, detailed and put back together. The heads were done with a minimal amount
of work required. This 392 Hemi engine is strong and steady.
The front end was rebuilt, new shocks, brakes, brake lines all around, new bushings, except torsion bars, were
installed. Tires are at about 80%.
The body was in very solid condition but for the previously mentioned. The car received a very nice single stage 2
tone paint job, not car show quality, but certainly very attractive. The color was completely changed from the
original gold and done so well and completely, it would be difficult to see the color change.
The interior was completely redone using the highest quality and most durable fabric available. The carpet,
headliner, dash, all new.
What makes this car so interesting ids that absolutely everything works. The clock, radio, all windows, turn
indicators, gauges, lights, dome lights, running lights all work as they were designed. The A/C is all there but
did not take the time to make work, the heater and blower all work great.
The glass is all in excellent condition. The chrome in and out is all nearly flawless, the bumpers are solid. The
undercarriage is clean and without issues.
Please check out pics, email or call 530-519-2195 with any questions . I am selling this car for my brother in
law, he will consider trades. The car is stored inside and can remain there until picked up for transport. I have
not driven this car on any lengthy trips. It is not currently registered but comes with a clean and clear title.
Note: I have a full set of 14" Imperial hubcaps that can go with the car. The tires that are in place are 15". I
have a considerable amount of additional parts for the Hemi, and the car itself. The hubcaps on the car are
aftermarket.

Chrysler and Hyundai join Pepsi and Coke as top Super Bowl spenders [w/ video]
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Super Bowl XLVIII is barely a week away, and some of the early ads are already leaking out. It's timely then that The Street has released rankings of the top five Super Bowl advertisers since 2009, showing Chrysler and Hyundai/Kia taking two of the spots with $131.7 million in cumulative spending.
Since 2010, the cost to air a 30-second Super Bowl ad has risen from $3 million in 2009 to about $4 million in 2014, and about a fifth of advertisers opt for a one-minute ad, which doubles costs. Last year, the ads brought in $292 million, and they have brought in roughly $2 billion since 2010.
Chrysler has spent $64.3 million since 2009 to make it the fourth highest spending company in the last five years. In that time, the company has rebranded itself as it emerged from bankruptcy with the Imported from Detroit ad campaign that premiered in 2011 and last year's God Made a Farmer Ram Trucks ad. Its 2012 Halftime in America sparked national debate about whether it was also a reference to the upcoming presidential election.
Stellantis and Foxconn's new joint venture will focus on connectivity
Wed, May 19 2021MILAN — Carmaker Stellantis and TaiwanÂ’s Foxconn announced plans to develop a jointly operated automotive supplier focusing on technology to make vehicles more connected, including artificial intelligence-based applications and 5G communications. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said the services that will be developed through the tie-up “will mark the next great evolution of our industry,” alongside fully electrified and hybrid powertrains. The deal brings together Stellantis, the worldÂ’s 4th-largest automaker formed this year by the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Peugeot, and Foxconn, a major supplier of iPhones. The companies said the venture would focus on such services as infotainment, the integration of telecommunications and computer systems, artificial intelligence-based applications, 5G communications, e-commerce channels and smart cockpit integration. The companies announced a non-binding memorandum of understanding to form a 50-50 joint venture called Mobile Drive, which will be based in the Netherlands and function as an automotive supplier also to other carmakers. The new venture will combine advanced consumer electronics, Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) to create new services “that will exceed customer expectations,” the companies said in a release. “Customers today and, in the future, demand and expect ever-increasing software-driven and creative solutions to connect the drivers and passengers with the vehicle inside and out,Â’Â’ Foxconn Chairman Young Liu.
