RARE opportunity for Chrysler fans!

I am selling a rare 1956 Chrysler New Yorker automobile for a friend of mine who lives out of state. This rare find has been in storage for over 13 years and has only 39,768 miles on the car. It has the original paint from the factory on it and is the rare 4 door hardtop model which Chrysler only produced 3,599 units of in 1956. The auto has the original factory Kelsey-Hays wire wheels that are a rare item to behold. The auto is a dash mounted push button automatic model as the picture shows. The engine is the Chrysler original 5.6L 354 HEMI model with 280 h.p. with factory duel exhausts. It still has the factory spare tire in the trunk as in the photo. This car was purchased many years ago in El Monte Calif. in April 1987 from an elderly lady and then driven to the Chicago area with no problems. This auto is major rust free! There is only mild rust on the surface of the rocker panel bottoms and some slightly blistered chrome on the car. The car is solid and can be verified in the pictures showing the under hood and under trunk lid. As stated earlier this auto was removed from storage after 13 years and sent to a mechanic to get it running and to see if anything needed repair. A new fuel pump was installed and a new float assembly was installed in the fuel tank. Check out the pictures of the headliner and there is no sun damage to the inside rear window or padded dash. The engine runs very quite and the transmission shifts great. A new battery was also installed in the auto with new fluids. I would admit the auto should most likely get new points and plugs installed although the car starts and runs fine. The brakes should also most likely be checked out since the car is this old. The radio comes on but I cannot get any stations and I do not actually know what else would be needed but again all the parts are there for your approval. The car can be seen in Dixon, Illinois and I can be contacted for an appointment at 815-288-4139 or email pslonsky@comcast.net. Again this is a RARE opportunity for you to own a very good condition 1956 Chrysler with only 39,768 miles on it. Please contact me if you have any questions and arrange a look see if you desire.

2015 Chrysler 200S AWD

Mon, 02 Jun 2014

I love road trips. Honestly, one of the best parts about this job is the freedom we're given to experience the open road, whether at new car launches or while bombing around with whatever we're testing on our home turf. But the longer-form road trip is equally special to me, and it's something I'm always eager to do. Air travel stinks - that's not news. So if I can drive, I will. And without our dear TSA to fight with, I can pack all the chainsaws and gallon jugs of chocolate milk that I want.
So when it came time to attend the 2014 New York Auto Show this past April, I thought, "Why not drive?" Typically, the route from downtown Detroit to Manhattan is something like 10 hours, but I decided to bake some extra time into the journey and planned for the vast majority of my travels to be off the beaten path. Doing the "avoid expressways" route allows you to see parts of America you've never encountered before, and to meet people with stories and opinions that you've never heard. It's a great way to travel if you have the time. There's something uniquely serene about seeing the country in a great car on a great road.
Let's talk about that "great car" line for a moment. Ideally, long stretches of backroads are best done in something fast, comfortable and involving - a Porsche 911 comes to mind. Or, another school of thought says to pick some fun little spitfire like the always-lovely Mazda MX-5 Miata, for top-down, sun-drenched fun. But for this trip, I chose the 2015 Chrysler 200, in fully loaded S guise with all-wheel drive. Now, settle down; I'm not about to compare it to either the Porsche or Mazda. The point I'm making is this: after 1,500 test miles under my butt, I can emphatically state that the new 200 is indeed a great car in its own right.

Fiat GIF-based ads make our heads spin

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

Take a good, long look at the image above. Don't worry, it's completely real; you're not hallucinating. Would you believe that's an actual screencap from an actual ad commissioned by Fiat that's airing on actual television? Believe it.
The commercials started as a series of animated GIFs from The Richards Group for Fiat's Tumblr page, according to Adweek. Chrysler's Chief Marketing Officer reportedly liked them enough that he had them cut into ads for TV. The result is a combination of Internet meme heaven that includes the above horse mask and "Deal with it," animation, experimental filmmaking, cats, a person in a bunny suit twerking on a Fiat 500 and more general bizarreness.
Whatever your opinion on them, you have to admit that the advertising is certainly attention grabbing. Imagine looking up at the TV form your tablet to catch a glimpse of this weirdness. If you don't like them, Fiat is even giving people the chance to do a better job. Its Tumblr is open to submissions of new GIFs, which could lead to some very inappropriate and potentially hilarious results given the way that the Internet often works.

We aren't the only ones who want a Chrysler Pacifica Hellcat

Wed, Jan 27 2016

Yes, you read that correctly: Chrysler. Pacifica. Hellcat. We want one. It's definitely not happening. But that doesn't mean we – and the FCA designers – can't dream, right? That's what led to this sketch, posted on Instagram by Fiat-Chrysler design boss Ralph Gilles. It looks pretty sweet, including that hella important wing for maximum downforce, yo. As long as we're dreaming, we've got a few other requests. Let's put that 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 in the middle of the van. Screw the Stow 'N Go seats – let's get that engine mounted as low in the car's midsection as possible. And while we're at it, let's go for rear-wheel drive. And a six-speed manual transmission. And a third row of seats behind the engine, but rear-facing, so we can make our friends puke. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. In all seriousness, we're looking forward to driving the regular Pacifica when it launches this Spring. To refresh your memory, it's a totally new van, and will even be offered in Hybrid spec with an 80-mile-per-gallon-equivalent rating. Sounds impressive. Oh, heck. Hellcats > Hybrids. Ralph, we urge you to make this one a reality. Related Video:
