1955 CHRYSLER IMPERIAL SEDAN PERHAPS NOT MANY KNOW THAT THE 1955 IMPERIAL SEDAN WAS A ONE YEAR ONLY CAR. CHRYSLER WANTED TO COMPETE WITH FLEETWOOD SO THEY MADE EXTRA LEG ROOM IN THE BACK SEAT COMPARTMENT. THE IDEA DID NOT ATTRACT ENOUGH BUYERS SO JUST A LITTLE OVER 75OO UNITS WERE SOLD. THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH PRODUCTION TO JUSTIFY ANOTHER YEAR SO IN 1956 IMPERIAL USED THE STANDARD NEW YORKER SEDAN WITH AN IMPERIAL FRONT CLIP. THESE BEAUTIFUL CARS WERE ONLY AVAILABLE AT CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH DEALERS NOT EXACTLY THE ENVIRONMENT A LUXURY CAR BUYER WAS LOOKING FOR. AFTER ALL CADILLAC HAD BEAUTIFUL STAND ALONE DEALERSHIPS WITH AMENITIES GALORE TO ATTRACT THE LUXURY BUYER. HAD THIS BUYER PERSISTED, HOWEVER, THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND A BEAUTIFUL VIRGIL EXNER INSPIRED DESIGN WHICH WAS THE FLAGSHIP OF CHRYSLER'S NEW FORWARD LOOK. THE 1955 IMPERIAL MAY BE ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL 50'S SEDANS EVER BUILT FINISHED OFF WITH A NEW GUNSIGHT TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY MOUNTED ON TOP OF THE REAR FENDERS. THE CAR LOOKED IMPORTANT AND INDEED LENT A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE TO CADILLAC AND LINCOLN. QUALITY AND DRIVE TRAIN MADE IMPERIAL A FABULOUS ROAD CAR. A 352 INCH HEMI ENGINE COUPLED WITH CHRYSLER'S FIRST FULLY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS THE BEST IN THE FIELD. OUR CAR IS A LOW MILEAGE ORIGINAL. ALTHOUGH IT ONLY SHOWS SOME 22 K MILES FROM NEW THIS IS NOT DOCUMENTED AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON. HOWEVER, IT WILL BE CLEAR ON CLOSE INSPECTION THAT THIS CAR IS NOT A HIGH MILER EITHER. THE ENTIRE CAR IS EXCELLENT ORIGINAL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE RESPRAY OF THE NEW SPRING YELLOW COLOR AND NEW CORRECT IMPERIAL SEAT UPHOLSTERY. THE CAR IS FITTED WITH FACTORY AIR THAT WORKS AND BLOWS COLD, WIRE WHEELS, DIAMOND BACK RADIAL WHITE WALL TIRES, HEMI ENGINE, POWERFLITE TRANSMISSION, POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, POWER WINDOWS, POWER SEAT, RADIO AND HEATER AND CLOCK. WE BELIEVE THIS COULD BE ONE OF THE NICEST 1955 IMPERIAL SEDANS AVAILABLE IN A STRIKING PERIOD COLOR COMBINATION AND CHRYSLER AIRTEMP AIR CONDITIONING. IT IS PRESENTED IN MARVELOUS ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH RECENT PAINT AND INTERIOR SEAT UPHOLSTERY. |

Chrysler minivans spied in group test
Mon, Dec 14 2015The 2017 Chrysler Town & Country is just a few weeks from its debut at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show, and the company continues to evaluate its new minivan. A massive batch of spy shots now shows a whole fleet of them testing, along with the current model and competitors like the Honda Odyssey and Kia Sedona. Several of these examples drop the heavy cladding from earlier prototypes. Compared to today's model, the new Town & Country gets a major styling upgrade. These shots provide another glimpse at the updated front end with its narrow mesh grille and Chrysler 200-like headlights. The swirling camouflage along the side can't hide the more sculpted shape, including a character line that slices through the door handles. Three of the photos also provide a glance at the instrument panel, including the display between the gauges. In this case, it shows the tire pressures, and there's a digital speedometer on top. Rumors suggest at least two powertrains for the new Town & Country: an all-wheel drive plug-in hybrid version or one with a 3.2-liter V6. The van should also offer plenty of connectivity, with reports of USB ports for each row of seats and optional foot-activated side doors. Related Video:
Detroit's new emergency city manager worked on Chrysler bankruptcy [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013
Kevyn Orr, the new emergency city manager of Detroit, has a history with one of Michigan's most famous residents: Chrysler. Governor Rick Snyder (at right) appointed Orr to the position yesterday with the belief that Detroit needs outside assistance to right the city's mounting financial woes. Orr (at left), a partner with the Jones Day law firm, will begin work on March 25 and receive $275,000 a year for his work. While state officials believe the new city manager will be able to complete his duties in 18 months, the contract is technically open-ended.
The 54-year-old attorney helped steer Chrysler through its 2009 bankruptcy, earning $700 per hour for his efforts. He was also instrumental in convincing the courts to allow Chrysler to shutter 789 dealerships in a single month. Orr says he's aware that his efforts won't have made him any friends in Southern Michigan.
Chrysler releases Born Maker ad campaign for 2015 200 [w/video]
Fri, 06 Jun 2014
"The 200 sets the benchmark, for us, on how we plan to develop cars going forward." - Marissa Hunter
Is the 2015 Chrysler 200 the most important new product for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles? While it is certainly debatable, we'd be strongly inclined to say "yes." As the first competent midsize sedan that Chrysler has released in the better part of two decades, the new 200 is absolutely crucial to achieving the brand's goal of becoming FCA's "mainstream" manufacturer.
