Up for auction we have a beautiful 1971 Chrysler Town & Country Station Wagon. This car currently has 77,614 original miles and is powered by the optional 440 c.i. V-8 also original to the car. Options include A.C., power windows, split bench seat with power 6-way on the drivers side and reclining back rest on the passenger side, remote drivers side mirror as well as a manual passenger side mirror and front disc brakes. Car also has the 3rd seat in the rear making this a 9 passenger model. This car is essentially a survivor with mostly original paint , nice chrome and a beautiful original interior without a rip or tear to be found. The only rust to be found is a small spot on the inside edge of the spare tire well (seePhoto). I purchased this car a little over a year ago after a lengthy search since my parents had an identical Town & Country when I was a child and have put over 3000 miles on it since that time. This car runs fantastic and has to be one of the most comfortable cars I have driven, in fact I was invited to the Hemmings Concours in Saratoga N.Y. last fall where the car was voted “Best Car to Drive to California” by the Hemmings staff. The tires are almost new as well as the exhaust system and I recently replaced the brake master cylinder, power steering pump and rear wheel cylinders. The power windows including the tailgate window all work flawlessly as does the power seat. Items that do not work include the A.C., it’s 100% complete with the belt on the compressor, I just never got the chance to try and figure it out and frankly It never bothered me. The gas guage also doesn’t work, again not that big a deal since the car has a re-setable trip odometer and I would set to zero at every fill up, also the AM radio doesn’t work, but I have a spare original radio that goes with the car, I much rather listen to the rumble of the 440, that’s music to my ears! You can see this car was not ordered with the optional roof rack, I was fortunate to find an original and correct rack for this car in very nice shape and have already had the stainless portions of the rack polished. I also found a set of the optional grab handles that are mounted on either side of the tailgate window that help when entering the third seat. Both the grab handles including the shorter stainless trim pieces (also polished) required for the conversion and the luggage rack are included with the purchase of the car and yes all the necessary mounting hardware is also included. While I consider this car to be in excellent condition, it does have it’s share of little touch ups and minor scratches, there is also some minor damage to the right rear door(see photo). My reason for selling is simple, while this car is on my top 5 list, my number 2 choice became available and I simply cannot keep both cars. I am happy to show this car by appointment, I can be reached at 203-219-2962. Connecticut does not issue titles for older cars anymore so this car will be sold with a bill of sale only. |

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.
Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut
Tue, 13 Aug 2013The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.
Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?
As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. For more details on the show, including events and their times, check out the press release below.
