Before I begin I would encourage all serious buyers to contact me directly at: 517-425-0129. Although this is a 7 day auction I reserve the right to end early.

Wow! 1960 Chrysler New Yorker, 20' long and 4200 pounds of vintage Detroit steel. I've owned several classic cars over the years and this one is a first for me, as a matter of fact I think this is the first one of these I've ever seen. One of Chrysler's famous taglines was " The car of your life, for the time of your life!", and with the classic lines, giant fins and amazing amount of bright work, this probably was the car of your life in the early '60s. I've taken several pictures of the interesting features of this car, but to me the most amazing is the "AstraDome" 3D control center. This "bubble" houses all of the instruments, really a unique look. Of course, all controls are push button as well, not just the transmission but even the turn signals. Once again, I've owned some neat cars, but I think this one probably creates more interest and more double takes when cruising than any others I've had. Description as follows:

Mechanical:
* 413 cubic inch V-8 motor.
* 3 speed push button automatic
* Dual exhaust
* Power steering, power brakes
* Power windows
* Fresh tune up, oil change, belts, hoses etc.
* New radial wide white walls
* All exterior lights, turn signals, wipers, heater motor etc. work fine with the exception of fuel gauge, which works intermittently

Interior:
* Very clean bench seat interior
* Extremely nice dash area, all bright work, gauges etc. clean
* Still retains the original AM radio, still works
* Once again, the crazy "dome" gauge cluster, (see pics)
* Original headliner, no rips or tears, some discoloration

Exterior:
* Still retains its original paint code H: silverpine
* Very nice two tone paint quality, repainted some years back, still shows very well
* Vehicle has been properly stored for a number of years, no snow, no salt, very solid example, original floors, trunk etc.
* Nicely finished trunk area, still has original trunk trim boards and jacking instructions. I believe the matching wide whitewall spare is original to the car, bias ply tread. Has complete jack assembly as well.(see pics)
* All exterior chrome and trim in very nice condition. Some pitting in chrome evident around back up light housings.

To summarize: an extremely unique car, almost in the "one of a kind" category. Great addition to the collector or hobbyist or maybe you're just tired of the mainstream muscle cars and want to "dare to be different"!

Please take the time to review all the pics and dont hesitate to call with further questions.517-425-0129. I also have contact with a reasonable shipping company and would be glad to assist. Vehicle offered by Rare Rides, a licensed MI dealer.

Has Dodge stepped in it again with Scat Pack lawsuit?

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Lawsuits are an unfortunate part of doing business in just about any industry, so the latest complaint filed by a California-based aftermarket firm against Chrysler would seem to be nothing more than business as usual. But this isn't the first time the two companies have sparred over this particular issue.
According to a report from Automotive News, the dispute revolves around the Scat Pack name that Chrysler first offered on the Charger, Coronet, Dart and Super Bee starting in 1968. Scat Enterprises, a manufacturer of crankshafts and other components for Dodges and other vehicles, sued Chrysler for using its name. A few years later the Scat Pack disappeared from the Dodge catalog.
Fast forward to August 2013 when Chrysler applied to register the Scat Pack name anew. The US Patent and Trademark Office turned down Chrysler's application, but the automaker proceeded anyway, unveiling new Scat Packs for the Challenger, Charger and Dart at last year's SEMA show.

UAW reveals more details for tentative FCA deal

Sun, Oct 11 2015

Around 40,000 union workers employed by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles have a new proposed contract to vote for or against just about a week after soundly rejecting a previous proposal. Like the contract that was rejected, this new proposal was negotiated between union leadership and management at FCA. If workers vote this time to accept the contract, negotiations are likely to begin in earnest with the other two big American automakers, Ford and General Motors. The biggest sticking points that kept the previous contract proposal from being ratified revolved around so-called second-tier UAW workers. Under the rejected contract, there wasn't a clear path in place that would bring these newer hires into wage parity with first-tier workers. The newly proposed contract, however, would have second-tier employees earning around $29 per hour – the same as first-tier workers – after eight years of employment. A slightly revised profit-sharing plan is also included, as is a larger signing bonus for first-tier workers. Gone from the new contract proposal is a health-care cooperative that would combine workers from all three Detroit-based automakers into one pool. While this action had the potential to lower health-care costs for UAW members, it wasn't universally understood by rank-and-file workers, said UAW President Dennis Williams. "I was a little naive," he said. "I really thought everyone understood it. It is my fault. I should have educated people more on it. And so we did take it out of the agreement." If ratified, this new contract will go into effect immediately and will cover a four-year period. Over that course of time, the UAW expects FCA to increase its employment figures by a little more than 100 workers, according to reports. Additional details on the contract can be seen on the UAW's website here.

Fiat Chrysler taps Amazon, Shell execs to fill roles

Fri, Dec 7 2018

MILAN — Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is tapping executives from Amazon and Shell Oil Company with previous automotive industry experience to fill its ranks. CEO Mike Manley said in a letter to employees Thursday that Mark Stewart would join FCA as chief operating officer of North America from Amazon, "a company known for its culture of innovation, and obsession with delivering incredible value to customers." At Amazon, Stewart led teams focused on advanced robotics, artificial intelligence and automation methods. He previously was COO of ZF TRW automotive components supplier. Niel Golightly was named head of global communications. He was most recently Shell's vice president for external relations in North and South America, with a focus on reputation, brand and stakeholder engagement beyond communication strategies. He previously held roles at Ford Motor Company. Related Video: Image Credit: REUTERS/Rebecca Cook Hirings/Firings/Layoffs Alfa Romeo Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM FCA Amazon shell Mike Manley
