Rare, Fully Loaded 1962 Chrysler Imperial Crown Imperial Crown, 66k, 413 V8. Options include a/c, power windows, power seats, power steering and power brakes. I bought the Imperial from the son of a Mopar collector, it was in his family since the 70's. The previous owner claimed the 66k on the odometer is original, my mechanic thinks so as well. I'm looking for someone to keep going where I have to stop due to finances (or lack!). The Imperial is one of my all time favorites, it's the wild-style baby of Chrysler designer Virgil Exner. There is simply not another car like it. I've naturally got more into the car than my asking price, I just hope it goes to someone who will bring it the rest of the way. Mechanical: Entire new brake system, including booster, dual chamber master cylinder (I kept the original setup), brake lines, all six wheel cylinders, brake shoes and emergency brake overhaul. If you're familiar with these cars you know how much labor is involved getting all those components installed, adjusted, bled and stopping just right. The fuel system was replaced as well: fuel tank and sending unit, fuel lines, rebuilt carburetor and fuel pump. Complete tuneup as well including new battery and ground cable as well as all new belts. I got all the lights working including the dash lights, directinals and brights. I've been driving it around locally and recently the exhaust has gotten loud, it's one of the pipes coming down off the exhaust manifold to the bottom of the car. The exhaust system is solid otherwise, newer muffler and tailpipe. The pushbutton transmission has gotten intermittent as well, you need to shift back and forth from neutral to drive a few times to engage the tranny. From what I've read the solenoid that moves the gear selector gets worn and sloppy. The heater works, the a/c compressor turns on but doesn't blow cold and the radio works intermittently. The passenger side power window works, the others don't; I don't know if it's the switch or motors. The power seat does not work, the wipers and horn work. The tires are new as well. The engine starts easily even after sitting for weeks and the garage floor is always dry when I pull the car out. No noises from engine, power steering works perfectly, the 413 V8 is surprisingly quiet and smooth. Cosmetic: I haven't done anything to make the car look better in the photos; once I made the decision earlier today I pulled the car out of the garage in the rain and took quick shots with my phone! I didn't even reinstall the rear window chrome trim for the photos, it's in the trunk. I haven't done anything cosmetically, just removed the old carpet and was glad to see the floors are all solid. I have matched color loop style carpet I can include. The seats are good, one small opening of about two inches at the bottom of the driver's seat, otherwise just some fading at the tops of the seats. The front and rear center armrests are good as well as the headliner and visors. The front door panels are better than the rear but they're all complete, they're fraying at the edges. The rear deck material is dry and faded. The dash, dash display and steering wheel are near perfect. The glass is very nice all around including the windshield, no scratches or discoloration. The front bumper is good as well as the grill, the separate bumper extensions under the front corners of the fenders are peeling and the rear bumper is peeling in spots. Some small areas of corrosion down the bottom under the doors, nothing too bad, the worst is forward of the driver's side rear wheel well as seen in the pix. All the panels line up straight, doors, hood and trunk and the doors close easily. The body and undercarriage are solid overall, floors and frame good. The car has never been repainted or had any body repair. The title is in my name; you can probably tell I had big plans for the Imperial! I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Imperial is for sale locally and I'm open to reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of shipping to paid by buyer. I can recommend a door to door auto shipper I've used in the past; they're professional, reliable and have great rates. Rare classic Mopar which will only appreciate in value!

Fiat GIF-based ads make our heads spin
Tue, 17 Jun 2014Take a good, long look at the image above. Don't worry, it's completely real; you're not hallucinating. Would you believe that's an actual screencap from an actual ad commissioned by Fiat that's airing on actual television? Believe it.
The commercials started as a series of animated GIFs from The Richards Group for Fiat's Tumblr page, according to Adweek. Chrysler's Chief Marketing Officer reportedly liked them enough that he had them cut into ads for TV. The result is a combination of Internet meme heaven that includes the above horse mask and "Deal with it," animation, experimental filmmaking, cats, a person in a bunny suit twerking on a Fiat 500 and more general bizarreness.
Whatever your opinion on them, you have to admit that the advertising is certainly attention grabbing. Imagine looking up at the TV form your tablet to catch a glimpse of this weirdness. If you don't like them, Fiat is even giving people the chance to do a better job. Its Tumblr is open to submissions of new GIFs, which could lead to some very inappropriate and potentially hilarious results given the way that the Internet often works.
Chrysler dealers terminated in bankruptcy still stuck in court
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Part of the deal for the federal bailouts of Chrysler and General Motors was that both organizations were required to trim their vast array of dealerships. This move did not sit well with the people that would be losing out on franchises, though, and in Chrysler's case, 148 of the shuttered dealers have fought for money they feel they are entitled to.
These dealers believe that they should be compensated by the federal government, as Chrysler wouldn't have trimmed its sales centers had it not been ordered to by Uncle Sam. Now, thanks to the ruling of three judges on the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the dealers will get a chance to argue their point.
According to Automotive News, the dealers argue that the mandatory shuttering of dealers was unconstitutional, because the federal government was taking property without compensation. If the dealers are victorious, not only would the government be out millions of dollars, but a precedent could be set that would allow similarly closed GM dealerships to cash in.
Weekly Recap: Obama reflects on the auto bailout's legacy
Sat, Jan 23 2016President Obama took a victory lap of sorts this week at the Detroit Auto Show, lauding the industry's progress and reflecting on the decision to bail out General Motors and Chrysler seven years ago. While the rescue was controversial at the time, historians will likely judge the president's actions to help save two of America's industrial symbols in a positive light. Much like Theodore Roosevelt's trust-busting tactics were controversial in the early 20th century, Obama's plan drew fire from critics who argued the free market should be left to its own devices. But providing financial aid and forcing the automakers to restructure had an enduring impact on the US economy. The auto industry has added more than 646,000 jobs since the companies emerged from bankruptcy, including manufacturing and retail positions. Make no mistake, GM and Chrysler were nearly dead in 2009. Now, GM is a powerhouse that's set to capitalize on a market that could see 18 million vehicles sold this year. Chrysler, which was renamed FCA US, survived as part of the Italian-American Fiat Chrysler Automobiles conglomerate. It's also performed well amid the strong industry conditions, though CEO Sergio Marchionne very publicly went looking for alliance partners last year, something from which he's since backed off. While Obama can claim a win, the bailout was actually started by George W. Bush, who provided short-term loans to GM and Chrysler in December 2008. Without that, they might not have made it much past Obama's inauguration. NEWS & ANALYSIS News: Spy Shooters captured the next-gen BMW Z4 during extreme cold weather testing. Analysis: The upcoming Z4 (which might be called the Z5) looks sharp. But the big deal is that BMW's much-anticipated sports-car project with Toyota is coming to fruition. Refresher: BMW and Toyota agreed to work together back in December 2011 and then announced an expansion of that deal to include sports cars in June 2012. Ultimately, it will provide BMW with a new Z4 and Toyota with another sports car, perhaps the Supra replacement. BMW is developing the platform, while Toyota is expected to chip in with hybrid technology. Big picture, this project is a good thing. It's providing enthusiasts with two modern sports cars that Toyota and BMW might not chose to develop on their own. This template has been shown to work, as the Fiat-Mazda alliance produced the MX-5 Miata and 124 Spider. News: The Jeep Grand Cherokee Hellcat was also spied, briefly.
