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!

Car dealership in East Texas destroyed by tornado
Tue, May 2 2017Few things are as fundamentally and unconditionally destructive as a tornado. These cataclysmic phenomena pass through towns, leaving nothing in their wake but ruin and despair. According to an NBC affiliate in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, a car dealership in nearby Canton was hit by a tornado Saturday night. No employees were hurt. Four other people in the area weren't so lucky. Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Canton's new showroom and service center were pounded by the storm, leaving dozens of cars in various states of ruin. Some merely lost windows, while others were flipped and left on their sides or roofs. Photos show piles of cars stacked up like Hot Wheels dumped on the ground. According to a statement from the National Weather Service, winds reached speeds of up to 140 mph. Two other tornadoes were reported in the region. The area has been declared a disaster zone and first responders from up to 100 miles away have swarmed in to help out those in need. According to Reuters, the storms Saturday killed 11 people nationwide.

5 reasons why GM is cutting jobs, closing plants in a healthy economy
Tue, Nov 27 2018DETROIT — Even though unemployment is low, the economy is growing and U.S. auto sales are near historic highs, General Motors is cutting thousands of jobs in a major restructuring aimed at generating cash to spend on innovation. It's the new reality for automakers that are faced with the present cost of designing gas-powered cars and trucks that appeal to buyers now while at the same time preparing for a future world of electric and autonomous vehicles. GM announced Monday that it will cut as many as 14,000 workers in North America and put five plants up for possible closure as it abandons many of its car models and restructures to focus more on autonomous and electric vehicles. The reductions could amount to as much as 8 percent of GM's global workforce of 180,000 employees. The cuts mark GM's first major downsizing since shedding thousands of jobs in the Great Recession. The company also said it will stop operating two additional factories outside North America by the end of next year. The move to make GM get leaner before the next downturn likely will be followed by Ford Motor Co., which also has struggled to keep one foot in the present and another in an ambiguous future of new mobility. Ford has been slower to react, but says it will lay off an unspecified number of white-collar workers as it exits much of the car market in favor of trucks and SUVs, some of them powered by batteries. Here's a rundown of the reasons behind the cuts: Coding, not combustion CEO Mary Barra said as cars and trucks become more complex, GM will need more computer coders but fewer engineers who work on internal combustion engines. "The vehicle has become much more software-oriented" with millions of lines of code, she said. "We still need many technical resources in the company." Shedding sedans The restructuring also reflects changing North American auto markets as manufacturers continue to shift away from cars toward SUVs and trucks. In October, almost 65 percent of new vehicles sold in the U.S. were trucks or SUVs. That figure was about 50 percent cars just five years ago. GM is shedding cars largely because it doesn't make money on them, Citi analyst Itay Michaeli wrote in a note to investors. "We estimate sedans operate at a significant loss, hence the need for classic restructuring," he wrote. The reduction includes about 8,000 white-collar employees, or 15 percent of GM's North American white-collar workforce. Some will take buyouts while others will be laid off.
2025 SRT Hellcat concepts as previewed by high schoolers
Thu, Jan 21 2016Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has some very talented designers in its ranks. Like any good company, though, the automaker is always on the lookout for early talent. Even if they're still in high school. One of those talent-seeking initiatives is the company's Drive for Design contest, an event open to tenth-, eleventh-, and twelfth-grade students that are hoping for a future in design. For this year's event, students from across the country were given a shot to design their vision for a 2025 model-year Dodge SRT Hellcat. The results are impressive, as you can see in the gallery above. First place went to Ben Treinen, from Archbishop Moeller High School in Cincinnati. Second place was the only award to go to a student outside the Rust Belt, with Macon, GA's Harrison Kunselman, a student at Mount de Sales Academy taking the silver. Third place was won by a metro Detroiter – Bloomfield Hills High School student Hwanseong Jang, while fourth went to Andrew Gombac of Loyola Academy in Wilmette, IL. According to FCA, all four winners will have their sketches on display at the 2016 Autorama at Cobo Center at the end of February. They'll also win some pretty nifty prizes. First place will get a new Apple MacBook Pro, while second, third, and fourth get the new Apple iPad Pro and Apple Pencil (arguably just as good of a prize for budding designers). All four finishers will also attend a three-week automotive design course at Detroit's prestigious College for Creative Studies, have dinner with FCA designers, and score three passes to Autorama. FCA will cover travel and lodging to Auburn Hills. Read on for the official blast from FCA.
