For sale here is a great running and driving, and rare 1962 Chrysler Newport convertible. There were only 2051 Chrysler Newport convertibles produced in 1962. The styling of these cars is very unique and desireable.
This '62 Newport has 90,883 miles on the odometer and runs and stops great. It starts right up and has plenty of power from the 361 V-8. The push-button transmission works well. Its really a joy to drive this one around town with the top down.
The body is pretty nice. There is a repairable seem on the very bottom edge of the passenger's side rocker. The bottom front fender tip behind the passenger's side front wheel is a little off-looking also, but each of these blemishes is hardly noticeable while using the car. The paint shows well and the chrome is good. The stainless is also good. The glass is in nice shape as well. The top does need a new rear plastic window due to UV discoloration. A previous owner removed the old window for visibility. Its the zip-in type. The top must currently be operated manually. This top does go up and down very easily and quickly manually. It seals out the wind pretty well too. The top vinly is im good condition. Decent riding radials and nice hubcaps. The door jambs will have to be painted the correct hue of blue. A previous owner repainted the car and the door jambs and trunk seal channel are a different shade.
The underside is in good shape with some usual and expected surface rust present. The car does ride smoothly. The trunk floor appears to have had some repair in the past.
The interior is in great shape. The seats are nice and very comfortable. The dash is nice and the guages are clear. Nice door panels. Seat belts in the car operate. The doors open and shut OK as does the hood and trunk.
The following items are working: headlights, taillights, brake lights, rear turn signals, front left turn signal, passenger wiper, all windows, amp meter, temp ga, heater and blower, radio. The following are not currently working: right front blinker, driver's wiper, horn, fuel ga, speedo and oil ga.
This RARE and very classy 1962 Newport Convertible can be enjoyed right away!! Cruise thorugh town in your Newport Convertible and get those looks and thumbs-up I have been getting this summer.
Please feel free to ask questions. Sold in as-is condition. Inspection available.

Fiat Chrysler and Renault are in advanced partnership talks

Sun, May 26 2019

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Renault are in advanced discussions about a possible alliance, according to a report from the Financial Times citing an anonymous "person familiar with the matter." The news isn't particularly surprising, as FCA has been a constant subject of merger and alliance talks for as long as many of us can remember. We've reported on a potential tie-up between these two automakers several times, as far back as 2008 and as recently as two months ago. FCA CEO Mike Manley has mentioned the company's openness to merging with another automaker. At the Geneva Motor Show a few months back, he said, "We have a strong independent future, but if there is a partnership, a relationship or a merger which strengthens that future, I will look at that." It's no secret that FCA is much stronger in the United States than it is in Europe. For its part, Renault has basically zero presence in the United States. A partnership or potential alliance between the two could shore up each automaker's weak spots and allow the group to split investment money into new technologies, including electric vehicles and autonomy. Of course, Renault is already tied up with Nissan and Mitsubishi, but that partnership has been a little tattered since the arrest of former Nissan and Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn on charges of financial misconduct in Japan. And in addition to Renault, FCA is understood to have discussed various partnership strategies with the PSA Peugeot Citroen group. What a final agreement – if there's any agreement at all Â– could look like between the two global automakers remains to be seen, and the report from Financial Times cautions that many different options for FCA and Renault are currently on the table. In other words, stay tuned.

FCA spends $1.5 billion to retool plant for Ram production

Tue, Jul 26 2016

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is planning to invest $1.48 billion to retool its Sterling Heights Assembly plant in metro Detroit to build the next generation of the Ram 1500. The investment will allow the assembly plant to go from unibody to body-on-frame construction. FCA also confirmed that production of the Chrysler 200 will end in December in order for the plant to be altered. As previously reported, FCA is looking to move production of the 1500 from its current assembly plant in Warren to the Sterling Heights Assembly plant (both are in Michigan). While FCA has not released any official plans for the Warren Truck Assembly Plant, Automotive News reports that the plant will be retooled to manufacture the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer SUVs. Earlier this month, FCA announced plans to invest $1.05 billion to retool the Jeep Wrangler factory. FCA's current investment plans are part of the automaker's push to put competitive products on the road.

FCA recalls 1.25M trucks for software error in fatal crash

Fri, May 12 2017

WASHINGTON - Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said Friday it would recall more than 1.25 million pickup trucks worldwide to address a software error linked to reports of one crash death and two injuries. The error code could temporarily disable the side air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment during a vehicle rollover spurred by a significant underbody impact, such as striking onroad debris or driving off-road, the Italian-American automaker said. The company will reprogram computer modules in the affected vehicles to address this error. The recall covers 1.02 million 2013-16 Ram 1500 and 2500 pickups, and 2014-2016 Ram 3500 pickups in the United States, 216,007 vehicles in Canada; 21,668 in Mexico; and 21,530 outside North America, the automaker said. Fiat Chrysler said the recall would begin in late June. In the event of the software error code, the problem could temporarily be addressed by turning the vehicle off and then on, the company said. The automaker told the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration it began investigating the issue in December after it received notice of a suit involving a 2014 Ram 1500 in which the airbag failed to deploy in a rollover crash.Reporting by David ShepardsonRelated Video: Recalls Chrysler Fiat Truck FCA airbag fiat chrysler automobiles
