1966 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER TOWN SEDAN
History
The introduction of the all new 1965
Chrysler line featured ads proclaiming “The most beautiful Chrysler ever built,
Agreed?” The lineup was the first effort of a new to Chrysler designer, Elwood
Engel, who had defected from Ford in 1961. He had designed the elegant 1961
The 1966 Chrysler New Yorker Town Sedan featured in this auction sold new at Knauz Chrysler Plymouth in Lake Forest Illinois to a gentleman named James Mannino. He and his wife used it as their driver car until 2007. They drove this as their everyday car for 41 years! It is still a Nice Car! Jim passed away and ownership went to his stepson. I bought it from him in May 2008. Both license plate frames and a keychain from the selling dealer are included as well as all of the original keys. The car is equipped with Power steering and brakes, Air conditioning, working factory AM/FM Radio with rear seat speaker, Power trunk release, remote drivers mirror, rear window defroster, power windows, 6 way Power seat and air shocks. Everything is operational except the air is not as cold as it should be.
Condition
This is a Nice garage kept car. The car runs, drives and stops great! When I bought it the passenger side front fender and hood were damaged. Other than that the car is nice original paint. I installed a used fender and hood and repainted the top of the front fenders and the hood. The hood is slightly warped from the sandblasting process. There is a scrape and some rust down low on the passenger side quarter panel and a few small bubbles elsewhere. I can find no other rust on this car. The front seat was rebuilt and recovered in incorrect materials. The rest of the interior and trunk are in beautiful original condition. It still sports its original Goodyear Power Cushion spare tire and jack. The really good news about this car is the mechanicals! They always had the car serviced at the Chrysler dealer. There is a complete paper history of this car starting at day one! They spent in excess of $10,000.00 on this car from 2001 to 2007! All of the receipts are included. Its original 440 engine was sent off by the Chrysler dealer to Jasper Engines and Transmissions for a factory rebuild, they also did the A/C system, brakes to include new parking brake cables etc. The list goes on… I just put on 4 new all season Radial tires. I have included a photo of the Jasper rebuild tag on the engine block. It does not use any oil between the 3,000 mile oil change intervals! I have personally driven this car over 12,000 miles in the last 6 years including three trips to the Fall AACA Hershey car meet. The current mileage is 147,154. You can really drive this Chrysler anywhere with confidence.

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.
Is Chrysler's 'America's Import' campaign outdated or offensive? [w/poll]
Tue, 04 Nov 2014Chrysler launched its America's Import campaign with a splashy ad during the Super Bowl starring Bob Dylan and featuring a whole bunch of patriotic imagery that included Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, factory employees and, of course, the city of Detroit. Since then, the brand has followed the original spot with even more ads using the same tagline. Not everyone is pleased, it seems, including The Detroit Free Press auto critic Mark Phelan, who's fed up with the marketing. In an editorial for the newspaper, Phelan claims that it's insulting to the US auto industry and its workers.
"The phrase 'America's import,' with its suggestion that 'import' equals 'better,' feels terribly dated, a relic of the 1980s. It's the rhetorical equivalent of hanging a pastel-hued 'Miami Vice' poster on your office wall," writes Phelan in the piece. Also, since some of the brand's cars are made in Canada, the line isn't even entirely true, he claims. Phelan goes on to praise the company's earlier Imported from Detroit commercials for getting the right message across and showing pride in the city.
While "America's Import" might be the tagline for Chrysler's ads, it's not the whole message. Subsequent ads keep the hard-working, patriotic imagery from the original Super Bowl spot but put a bigger emphasis on the Chrysler 200 that the commercials are meant to sell.
Fiat seeking $10B in financing to buy Chrysler
Thu, 30 May 2013As Fiat looks to become the full owner of Chrysler, all it has standing in its way is the retiree trust of the United Auto Workers, which currently holds the remaining 41.5 percent of the company as the result of the Pentastar's bankruptcy deal. The Detroit News is reporting that that Fiat is currently talking to numerous banks in an attempt to raise around $10 billion to fund the purchase of Chrysler's remaining stake with enough left over to refinance the debt of both companies. We've known that Fiat has been working to obtain the capital to buy out Chrysler for some time now, but this is the first time we've seen Fiat tip its hand about how much cash it thinks it will need to close the deal.
The first order of business is a legal dispute over the value of the UAW's stake in Chrysler, which the report indicates could cost Fiat around $3.5 billion. The acquisition of remaining shares could happen by this summer, but it sounds like CEO Sergio Marchionne (above) might not be ready for a full merger until next year.
