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.

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."
FCA recalls Fiat 500e to fix cruise control
Thu, Jun 11 2015Fiat is recalling almost 4,000 of its 500e electric vehicles because of a malfunction related to the model's cruise-control feature. The glitch causes the car's powertrain to be put into neutral under certain situations. It's the second recall on the 500e this year. Specifically, Chrysler-Fiat is recalling 3,975 cars. The issue is that the car's system can misread the motor's torque figures in cruise control, causing the sprightly EV to mistakenly shift into neutral in what was designed as a safety-precaution measure. The good news is that restarting the vehicle gets the car back to normal, but being dropped into neutral in highway mode is certainly no fun. Chrysler-Fiat said in a statement this week that it was "unaware" of injuries, accidents, or customer complaints caused by the issue. In April, the 500e was subject to a recall that impacted about 5,600 vehicles and stemmed from a March 2015 update. The update allowed the car to go into so-called "Limp Home Mode" to better extend range. The problem is that it inadvertently caused the car to stall. Range anxiety, indeed. Take a look at Chrysler-Fiat's press release on the most recent recall below. Related Video: Statement: Software Upgrade June 9, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 3,975 cars to upgrade cruise-control software. A review of warranty data led to an investigation by FCA US LLC engineers. The investigation discovered certain Fiat 500e hatchbacks were inadvertently equipped with software that may misread torque levels generated by their motors, causing them to shift into neutral – a prescribed failsafe mode. This condition may occur only while cruise-control is engaged and the driver attempts to override the feature with accelerator-pedal applications or rapid tapping of the accelerate/decelerate buttons. Restarting the vehicle restores normal function. The campaign is limited to certain model-year 2013-2015 vehicles. The Company is unaware of any related injuries, accidents or customer complaints. New software will be available when affected customers are advised of this action by FCA US. Service instructions are being sent to FCA US dealers today. Customers with questions may call the FCA US Customer Information Center at 1-800-853-1403.
