1953 Chrysler Custom Crown Imperial. Only 823 of these we're made in 1953. Story is the man bought it new and only drove it around town for a couple years then he passed away. After that his wife let it sit in the garage for 30 years. Then it went to a body shop in the 90s to get restored and the shop closed down and the car sat there for 10 more years. They took off some front trim and started doing bodywork I have all front trim and door panels in trunk. All side window and back trim is still on the car. Even vent window visors and crown emblems. Dash is beautiful has all knobs working and steering wheel is in very good condition, not much wear or tear that's why I truly believe this is a 9k mile car, it even has factory "OK" stamps still on the firewall. It's a true time capsule it came with a issue of popular mechanics from feb 1953 witch I will include with the car. Original wire wheels and a spare. HEMI engine, "fire power" and it's all there even the wiring. Power windows, power locks, power brakes, power steering and first year for ac! This was a luxury car in its day. The unfortunate thing is when it was at the body shop over those years it sat outside and all the interior turned to a crisp the dash pad is cracked and seats are falling apart. Everything is there, just has to be upholstered. Also from sitting outside the rocker panels went bad. The floor is solid and around the windows is nice as well. Even the drip rails over the windows are clean with no rust at all. Only on the outer rocker panels. Truly a beautiful and unique car. I had a hard time even finding any online. Also someone told me it was a special order with some add ons that didn't come factory. These cars are very rare and go for 35-40k when restored. Any questions please let me know. John 626 222 3093

2014 Chrysler 200 to set design tone for brand
Sun, 20 Jan 2013Speaking with Wards Auto at this year's Detroit Auto Show, Chrysler design chief Ralph Gilles said that the next-generation Chrysler 200 will launch a whole new styling direction for the brand when it arrives for the 2014 model year. Gilles did not reveal any specific design cues or elements that will be found on the next 200, only saying that the new car "shares no surface language with any previous Chrysler we've ever seen."
Indeed, the current 200 isn't exactly setting the world on fire with any sort of clever, emotive design, but Gilles knows that. "The current Chryslers on the road today certainly don't reflect where we're headed," he told Wards Auto. Instead, Gilles said that "we are deviating from where we are today, completely. It's a very different feeling (and) look."
The launch of the new Chrysler 200 will officially mean the death of its Dodge Avenger counterpart, though Gilles says that the company is working on an all-new product to replace that vehicle down the road. Still, Chrysler will need a successful player in the popular midsize segment, and Gilles fully expects the new 200 to be up to the task. "I think it's going to be a beautiful and relevant vehicle."
Jeep sets all-time sales record in 2012
Wed, 09 Jan 2013Last year was good to Jeep. Chrysler has announced its trail-rated brand set an all-time global sales record in 2012 by moving 701,626 units. That number easily surpasses the previous record set in 1999 when Jeep sold 675,494 models. All told, the brand saw a 19-percent sales increase worldwide over 2011, and much of that swell can be traced directly to the Wrangler. While the Grand Cherokee led Jeep sales, the Wrangler posted record numbers both globally and within the US, moving 194,142 and 141,669 units in each market, respectively.
Meanwhile, the Compass beat its previous global sales record with 103,321 units rolling off of dealer lots. In the US, Jeep sold 62,010 Patriot units, breaking that model's previous record as well. Jeep's impressive performance in 2012 marks the second year in a row the brand has seen double-digit percentage sales increases. Check out the full press release below.
Marchionne offers belated apology for 'wop engine' comment
Wed, 22 May 2013Automotive News reports Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has issued a written apology for his comments regarding his decision to stick with an Italian engine for the upcoming Alfa Romeo 4C. As you may recall, back in January, Marchionne was quoted as saying, "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it has to be a wop engine." The CEO penned an apology to the Italian American ONE VOICE Coalition for using the racial epithet, saying that he made the comment in jest. Marchionne also said he realizes his remarks were unacceptable.
ONE VOICE, an organization aimed at fighting discrimination and stereotyping of Italian Americans, thanked Marchionne, Chrysler and Fiat for the apology. Marchionne is an Italian-born Canadian citizen, and he's gotten in trouble for other comments in the past. In 2011, he called high interest rates Chrysler was paying to the Canadian government "shyster rates." He apologized a day later.
