Chrysler line featured ads proclaiming The most beautiful Chrysler ever built,

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.

Marchionne hopes Apple will partner with Fiat
Wed, Mar 2 2016Apple wants to make a car. Fiat already makes cars. Therefore, Apple and Fiat should partner to make an Apple Car. Makes sense, right? Clearly, it's not quite that easy, but FCA chief Sergio Marchionne hopes that Cupertino will consider Fiat a worthy candidate for partnership, assuming, of course, that Apple follows through with its overtures into the automobile industry. Marchionne is, according to Bloomberg, a self-proclaimed "Apple freak" who owns every kind of product Apple makes. He suggests that he understands the tech company's needs and wants. "Apple has a language, and you have to be able to speak that language," said Marchionne. "Usually the industry comes into that dialogue with a high degree of arrogance as we know how to make cars. That's not very helpful as their syntax is worth more than our ability to build cars." By "syntax," we assume Marchionne means Apple's sleek and modern design language more than the code behind its software. It's interesting to note that the FCA CEO seems to indicate that Apple would bring more to any partnership than the automaker would. Fair or not, we'd wager that more buyers would care about a potential Apple Car's design and branding than would be concerned with which automaker helped assembled it. A partnership with Apple may be exactly the kind of cure that the FCA CEO believes ails the auto industry. After finding it impossible to further pursue industry consolidation, a tie-up with the massive tech industry, particularly Apple, could generate some much-needed positive cash flow. At present, though, it's all just conjecture Apple hasn't offered any hints as to the true nature of its so-called Project Titan automotive project, and doesn't seem likely to anytime soon.

Marchionne open to combination with Ford or GM
Fri, Mar 13 2015At the depths of the auto industry implosion, there was widely reported talk that General Motors and Chrysler would be merged into a mighty import-beating behemoth. While such notions clearly never materialized, that doesn't mean the idea is dead. In fact, FCA boss Sergio Marchionne still welcomes the idea of a partnership with either GM or Ford. He responded positively to the idea, calling it "technically feasible," when asked about it at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, Automotive News reports. "There's bantering that goes on all the time," Marchionne told AN, before quashing suspicions that a plan was in the works by adding that "nothing substantive" was going on. Our favorite black sweater enthusiast isn't quite as interested in the idea of teaming with a foreign manufacturer like PSA Peugeot Citroen, or in the rumored tie-up with Volkswagen, though. That is a shame, particularly in regards to Marchionne's shut down of a partnership with the French, although it isn't necessarily surprising FCA already consists of eight automakers, and as Sergio told AN, there's really nothing at PSA that could help the company out. What are your thoughts? Is there an obvious project or segment that would benefit from an FCA partnership with Ford or GM? Have your say in Comments.

2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid: The 80-MPGe minivan [w/video]
Mon, Jan 11 2016As automakers rush to add hybrids and plug-ins to every type of vehicle, one popular segment has been overlooked: minivans. If the idea of a hybrid minivan makes sense to you, that's because it's a smart idea, and one that we're surprised hasn't happened yet. So kudos to Chrysler for not just making it happen, but for creating a plug-in version with an estimated 80 miles per gallon equivalent. You can read all the practical details of the 2017 Pacifica (not Town & Country) here. For the sake of this story, we'll focus on what's different with the hybrid model. Yes, Chrysler is just calling it Pacifica Hybrid, not Plug-In Hybrid, because the company's executives think that when people hear "plug" they think "range anxiety" and freak out. That's not a worry here, though, because when the 16-kWh battery runs out of juice, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 kicks in and the minivan functions as normal. Just don't run out of gas. With a full charge, the Pacifica Hybrid can travel up to 30 miles on electric power. And though the gas engine is the same 3.6-liter V6 found in the non-hybrid model, it's detuned to 248 horsepower and 230 pound-feet of torque. Charging the battery takes just two hours on a 240-volt plug, and Chrysler houses the battery pack underneath the floor in the middle of the van, where the wells for Stow 'N Go seating are found on gas-only models. So no, you can't get Stow 'N Go seats on the hybrid, but the third row does still fold into the floor. Powertrain aside, the Pacifica Hybrid is nearly identical to its gas-only sibling, save the addition of the charge port on the driver's side front fender. Unique wheels in 17- and 18-inch sizes can be had, and the Pacifica Hybrid only comes in Touring and Limited Platinum trims. You can read more details on the hybrid system in the release below. First hybrid powertrain in minivan segment "Due to its large footprint and multiple daily trip patterns, the minivan is ideally suited for electrification technology," said Bob Lee, Vice President and Head of Engine, Powertrain and Electrified Propulsion Systems Engineering, FCA North America. "The all-new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica lives up to this promise and then some, with efficiency, power and refinement." Launching in second half of 2016, the Pacifica Hybrid is the industry's first electrified minivan.
