This is a time capsule survivor car. Under 86,000 original miles in 53 years! Imperials were the most expensive American car in 1960. This car is a rare treasure of the Space Age. It has to be seen in person to fully appreciate how big and cool it is. This car has always been in So. California and could only be preserved this well here. Come an drive her. This is a small leak in the break booster and the top of the windshield washer reservoir needs replacing. Other than that, she is 100% complete and running car. A true steal! Don't bid on this car unless you like a lot of attention. I have become famous with the students of my kids' elementary school from pick-ups in this car. Did I mention the car has it's original paint!!!! There are only some minor bubbling in the paint in a few spots and the cracking of paint by the rear pillars as pictured. The buyer should only have these spot treated and keep the beautiful original paint elsewhere.. The upholstery is great and chrome still looks good. It is 100% straight and has never been hit. All the trim is there. One front running light lens is broken and both of the front fender trim inserts are missing. Other than that, the car is a California time warp. People marvel at the outrageously huge fins and the Flight Sweep toilet seat trunk lid. The car starts immediately and runs well. The brakes were recently overhauled but there is a slow air leak in the power brake booster. You can hear is hiss a little. It needs a new diaphragm. The car has been stored in a garage and hanger at the Torrance Airport. I have a large collection of cars that I rotate. I've had fun with this car but I need to sell for more space and to fund the restoration of other projects. I encourage scheduling a showing before the auction ends. My number is 310-259-5195. The car is being sold with a bill of sale only. The car was last registered in 2005 with the people I bought it from. I have the bill of sale from them. Unfortunately, I know the car will sell for less than it really worth so don't wait and ask if it's still available after the auction ends. This will be a absolute steal, especially when you compare to overpriced Ford, Chevy and Cadillacs of the same vintage. This is a connoisseur's car. Good luck bidding. |

Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?
Mon, 17 Dec 2012In 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.
Marchionne says Fiat Chrysler can make 6 million cars per year
Tue, 01 Apr 2014The combined Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will see its production capacity increase from a projected 4.6 million in 2014 to 6 million units once it completes its integration, according to statements made by FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne.
"With the initiatives we will announce in May, six million is accessible," Marchionne said during a Fiat shareholders' meeting in Turin, according to The Detroit News. Marchionne is aiming to complete the merger between the Turin, Italy-based Fiat and the Auburn Hills, MI-based Chrysler by the end of this year.
Increasing production by 1.4 million units is no small order, particularly when combined Fiat and Chrysler sales have increased only modestly in the past few years - only 4.4 million units were sold in 2013, and while 4.6 million is projected for 2014, 4.5 million is also a distinct possibility. Six million units per year has been Marchionne's self-imposed goal for the combined automaker, according to The News, claiming that FCA would need to crest that point to achieve profitability.
