1948 Chrysler New Yorker In Great Original Condition on 2040-cars
Peoria, Illinois, United States
|
Up for sale is a super solid 1948 Chrysler New Yorker with no reserve. Don't let the paint job on this one fool you there is a beautiful car under there! This car is in amazingly solid shape for its age. The frame and all the sheet metal is in really solid condition. The floors, doors, fenders, and door jambs are in really great original condition with no rusted out areas. It looks like this car was garaged for the majority of its life with low were and tear from the elements especially on the undercarriage of the car. The interior items work such as the dome lights, e-brake blinking light, heater blower, radio, cigarette lighter, air vent, etc. For a restoration project this car is ahead of the game with a lot of work already done. This car only needs light mechanical work, interior, paint work, and some exterior re-chroming. I have receipts totaling around $3400.00 with the car. The motor was professionally rebuilt. Some new brake lines and drums, brake shoes, and all new wheel cylinders have been professionally installed. The rims were sand blasted and primed. New high quality period tires were fitted and are in great like new condition still. Also, the gas tank has been boiled out, cleaned, and the car is running off gas through the tank. The car was on the road running and driving a couple years ago. I recently put a new coil on and got it up and running again. The brakes need to be bled and checked but are working now. The car does run and drive but is a little stubborn to start, I think that is due to the carb. This is a minor fix as well. I think it needs a carburetor tune up or rebuild. There is a slight hesitation in throttle but only due to the carb. The motor runs smooth and clutch and transmission work well. It might need slight adjusting and lubricating on transmission linkage. Car comes with new battery and new coil installed and an original service manual. Terms. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to pull the ad and sell the car locally. Car is sold as is. No warranty is expressed or implied with the sale of this 1948 Chrysler New Yorker Buyer pays fees if full payment is made through PayPal

Chrysler to veer away from 'Imported From Detroit' message?
Wed, 17 Apr 2013Claim some ground, control that ground and then expand. Chrysler, wandering the Earth like Kane from Kung-Fu when it came to brand message after the bailouts, pulled off the first two feats in only 120 seconds when its "Imported from Detroit" commercial aired during the 2011 Super Bowl. Two years later and now that the brand has a center in the minds of consumers, the Chrysler Group's head of marketing, Olivier Francois, says it's time to move away from the "Detroit" component of that slogan and express the "Imported" aspect.
It is, more precisely, about positioning Chrysler as genuine competition for imports and not Ford or General Motors, but rather Toyota on quality or Audi on technology. A report in Forbes said that Francois not only "wants to attract import owners to Chrysler vehicles by focusing on quality, technology, fuel economy and style," but to "take back the lead in these four things." That is the new understanding he wants people to infer from the idea of Detroit - that the nation's car capital isn't just a patriotic rallying point but a lively competitor for established giants.
Chrysler has been running ads that no longer refer to Detroit, and recent efforts have linked a specific character to each brand - like Jenny with Jeep and Steven with the Chrysler 300 - to create brand separation. Francois hasn't detailed what he plans to do to bolster Chrysler's upscale pretensions, but his efforts would be helped by CEO Sergio Marchionne loosing the pursestrings and the arrival of strong new product.
Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable
Sun, 10 Aug 2014A pair of cyber security experts have awarded the ignominious title of most hackable vehicles on American roads to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek are set to release a report at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, Automotive News reports. The two men found the Jeep, Caddy and Q50 were easiest to hack based not on actual tests with the vehicles, but a detailed analysis of systems like Bluetooth and wireless internet access - basically, anything that'd allow a hacker to remotely gain access to the vehicle's systems.
Considering this lack of hands-on testing, the pair acknowledge that "most hackable" could be a relative term - they point out that the vehicles may actually be quite secure.
Chrysler 100 hatchback caught cruising around Santa Monica
Thu, 21 Feb 2013A coming hatchback said to be called the Chrysler 100 has been caught on video traipsing around Santa Monica by Autoblog reader Zach Dillman. Still wearing the scrapyard assemblage of Alfa Romeo Giulietta body panels as it was when spy photographers began capturing it last summer, its arrival date is still a question mark: some outlets have reported that it will go on sale this year, others have said it won't be in showrooms until 2016.
In fact, quite a few questions remain. Based on Fiat's Compact US Wide (CUSW) platform that supports the Dodge Dart and expected to be about the same size, the 100 is thought to be a small premium hatchback that will be priced above the Dart and below the Chrysler 200, with the idea that it can challenge the Ford Focus and Hyunda Elantra at the value end and the Buick Verano and Acura ILX at the premium end. Word is that there will be no sedan version.
It looks like there'll be plenty of gewgaws inside, with buttons for Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning and a button to toggle the traction control.
