1950 Chrysler Imperial. In good condition with all systems in good working order. All gauges, radio, power windows power brakes, built in back up lights work as they should.
A brief history of the car.
1951-1975
Was originally purchased in Inianapolis by the owner of Capitol Glass Company, Ralph Reibeling on 3-22-1951. The original owner kept very good servicing records. For the first 7 years he took it in to the Chrysler Agency every month for servicing. Even after he purchased another vehicle for his main car, he still took it to the dealer for transmission rebuilding.
1975-1999
The second owner rarely drove the car but had the engine overhauled when the head gasket failed and leaked coolant into the cylinders(12,000 miles back). Sometime during this ownership the car was repainted. In 1986 the car was used in the movie "Hoosier's" with Gene Hackman.
1999-2007
The 3rd owner did little more than keep it in dry storage and roadworthy. In their 8 years of ownership it was driven less than 4,000 miles.
2007-
I purchased the car from the 3rd owner in Wolcottville, Indiana.
The car is all original except for the repaint from between 25 and 35 years ago and the front seat cushion and the package tray was recovered in matching original type wool broadcloth. It has had the oil pan removed, cleaned and replaced with fresh gaskets. The fuel pump and water pump have been replaced. The relays in each door for the power windows have been cleaned and serviced for worry free operation of the power windows(fully electric power windows, an industry first). It has the Prestomatic 4 speed fluid drive "Tip Toe" automatic transmission that has never given any trouble and is effortless to drive.
The electrical system is the original 6 volt system with original bulls eye headlights, electric wipers.
This car is ready to be driven anywhere. We have used the car for car club tours(both AACA and CCCA). It has just had a though inspection and is ready for spring.
Please no scammers or international sales. No texts or emails so please call 785...231...7125 if you have any questions.

Chrysler highlights Mopar lineup for SEMA
Wed, 30 Oct 2013SEMA is all about aftermarket parts, and in Auburn Hills that all comes down to one name: Mopar. After having previewed its lineup for this year's Vegas tuner expo earlier this month, Chrysler has now revealed what may not quite be its full dossier of modified show cars, but a good portion of them.
All told Mopar is preparing 20 vehicles for display at SEMA this year. Among them you'll find the Ram Sun Chaser, a 1500 Quad Cab show truck kitted out in two-tone orange and black paint, a roof rack for surfboards, onboard shower and convertible tailgate. The white Fiat 500L is called the Adventurer and is modified for a more rugged look that could hint at the upcoming crossover version. The Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver upgrades on the Trailhawk package with everything from roof basket to rock rails. To counterbalance the off-roaders, there's also a modified Chrysler 300S with a deep black paint job, special grille, Varvatos-edition wheels and more.
All four concepts details so far have Katzkin interiors as well, and there's also an unspecified Dodge Durango with a storm-trooper look in the gallery above. But for more details on what Mopar has installed on the Ram, 500L, Cherokee and 300, you'll want to delve into the press release below.
Chrysler 300 SRT dead in US, updated elsewhere
Sat, Aug 29 2015The Chrysler 300 SRT is officially dead here in the US, but the sedan's big V8 continues to rumble in a handful of other markets around the world. In fact, the model just received a refresh abroad to fit the standard version's recently updated styling. According to Car and Driver, customers in countries like Australia, Japan, South Africa, South Korea, and a few other places can stop by their local Chrysler dealer soon to pick up some of this imported muscle. For the refresh, the 300 SRT's 6.4-liter V8 remains under the hood producing 470 horsepower, and it's now hooked up to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. The styling also gets some updates like LED lights in the lower air dam, a reshaped mesh grille with the SRT logo, and a simplified design for the taillights. If it seems odd to go to the work of updating the 300 SRT's styling, while killing off the model in the US, the reason has to do with FCA's brand strategy here. Dodge is supposed to be the automaker's performance marque in America, and according to Car and Driver, Jeep gets to keep SRT branding on the Grand Cherokee because of the brawny SUV's popularity. That might not last much longer, because reports suggest a Hellcat-powered Trackhawk is on the way. Related Video:
Dodge, Jeep and Ram could soon be owned by Chinese automakers
Mon, Aug 14 2017For the past several years, Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has made it widely known that the automaker he helms is up for grabs. First, he sent an email to GM CEO Mary Barra, who immediately refused to even discuss a merger. Later, Marchionne set his sights on Volkswagen. That too was swiftly rebuffed. It seemed like no global automaker was remotely interested in a partnership. Now, Automotive News reports that several Chinese automakers have come calling, only FCA isn't ready to answer. At least not yet. The news broke this morning that a major Chinese automaker had made an offer to purchase FCA for slightly above market value. FCA refused, saying the offer wasn't quite generous enough. It's unclear which automaker made the offer, but Automotive News says there's more than one interested party. FCA representatives have recently traveled to China to meet with Great Wall Motors, while Chinese representatives were seen at FCA corporate headquarters in Auburn Hills, Mich. The Chinese government has a lot of money invested in local automakers. It's putting pressure on these automakers to expand globally, including to the United States. As it stands, it's a matter of when a Chinese automaker will start selling cars here, not if. Purchasing an established automaker with a wide range of products and a huge dealer network would do wonders in giving the Chinese a foothold here. Sure, Geely owns Volvo, but a luxury automaker doesn't have nearly as much reach as a more mainstream company like FCA. This seems like the best case scenario for both a Chinese automaker looking to move into the U.S. and for FCA, at least from a business standpoint. The latter doesn't seem to have any other interested parties. It will be interesting to see how FCA would sell a deal like this to the public. We're not sure everyone will be happy with Dodge, Jeep and Ram falling under Chinese ownership. FCA didn't turn down the Chinese because they didn't like the idea. It turned down the offer because there wasn't enough money on the table. Related Video: News Source: Automotive News Earnings/Financials Alfa Romeo Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM
