I have a one owner 1976 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham 4 door hardtop for sale. The '76 New Yorker is really an Imperial but Chrysler quit making the Imperial in '75 and rebadged it as a New Yorker Brougham. I am the 2nd owner. This car just turned 84,000 original miles. It has a 400 V8 4 barrel with the Lean Burn still intact. It still wears its original orange Mopar wires(however...I switched out the caps and upgraded those). This car was a barn find and I spent a ton of money on it to make it a daily driver. I enjoy rescuing cars and getting them rolling again to be enjoyed. I have over 2,200 dollars in receipts for all work done in the last 30 days that will go with the car. The tires have less than 200 miles on them. The only thing that is not original on this car are the new tires,windshield and new true exhaust(has low rumble glasspacks..not too loud but just right). No catalytic converter. It never had one. The gas tank was dropped and cleaned,new fuel lines,belts,windshield,fuel pump,plugs,the radiator flushed with new coolant,air filter,intake hose,oil change,new wipers,battery,all fuses were replaced,bulbs,floor mats and cleaning. The paint is Inca Gold and the top is original. All power options work except for the antenna. It is stuck in the "up" position. These cars came one way...loaded to the hilt. The AC blows cold and the heater works great. The original 8 track works like new and the speakers do not "crackle". It also has the rare wing window option which you don't see too often on these. There is only one small door ding on the passenger door,a small crease near the left rear marker light where the original owner hit something light. It is not very noticeable. The chrome shines like new. The electronic flip-up headlights work perfectly. There is a spec of rust about the size of a penny under the right rear quarter panel. I haven't gotten a chance to buff it out because of the weather but it will shine up really nice. It has never been in a wreck,rebuilt,or repainted. It does have a few imperfections but this car has not been restored. It doesn't need it. I am listing this for sale for well under what NADA puts it at. On a scale of 1 to 10 this car is about a 7..maybe an 8. It is a survivor. This has new plates and new tabs(if you happen to live in Washington state),a near full tank of gas and is ready to roll. If sold to someone far away,I will make sure to put some gas stabilizer in it for you before it leaves so you can get in it,turn the key,fire it up and enjoy. You will not be disappointed. This car has been all over the internet on various New Yorker sites and The Brougham Society. As of right now,this car needs very little and will look great at any shows or just cruisin'. This is daily driver if you wish or just roll around on Sundays.

What will the next Presidential limo look like?
Thu, 25 Jul 2013With recent news that the Secret Service has begun soliciting proposals for a new armored limousine, we've been wondering what the next presidential limo might look like. The current machine, nicknamed "The Beast", has a design based on a car that's no longer sold: the Cadillac DTS. If General Motors gets the job again, which wouldn't be a surprise considering the government still owns a chunk of the company, the next limo's shape would likely resemble the new XTS (below, left). But Cadillac hasn't always been the go-to car company for presidential whips.
Lincoln has actually provided far more presidential limousines throughout history than Cadillac. In fact, the first car modified for Commander-in-Chief-carrying duty was a 1939 Lincoln K-Series called "Sunshine Special" used by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the last Lincoln used by a president was a 1989 Town Car ordered for George H.W. Bush. If President Obama wanted a Lincoln today, it would likely be an amalgam of the MKS sedan and MKT crossover, as illustrated above.
And what about Chrysler? The only record we could find of a President favoring the Pentastar is Nixon, who reportedly ordered two limos from the company during his administration in the '70s, and then another one, known today as the "K-Car limo," in the '80s after he left office. Obama, however, has a personal - if modest - connection to Chryslers, having owned a 300 himself before he took office. A 300-based Beast (above, right) would certainly earn the U.S. some style points.
Fiat talking with banks about buying rest of Chrysler
Wed, 13 Feb 2013All that stands in the way of Fiat's total ownership of Chrysler is a 41.5-percent stake currently held by the United Auto Workers healthcare trust, but according to SFGate.com, Sergio Marchionne is currently trying to raise the capital to complete the acquisition. The article says that a deal could be completed in as soon as 12 months, and the estimate for the remaining stake could cost Fiat SpA around $2.98 billion.
With a goal of completing the deal by the end of 2014, Marchionne is said to be in talks with various banks to help finance some of the deal. According to the report, the banks have indicated a need for a stronger balance sheet, controlled debt and reserve cash.
Two things that don't seem to be on the table to get the deal completed include issuing new shares to raise the capital or selling a stake in Ferrari. Fiat started with a 20 percent share of Chrysler in June 2009, and it raised its stake up to 58.5 percent in January 2012.
Marchionne recruiting activist investors to prompt GM merger
Tue, Jun 9 2015Sergio Marchionne may have been rebuffed in his previous advances at General Motors, but he's not about to give up that easily. According to The Wall Street Journal, the Fiat Chrysler chief is now turning to activist investors to help coax GM into joining forces. Marchionne has been a staunch and ceaseless advocate of the need for consolidation, arguing that the industry needs to amalgamate into larger groups that will share resources and reduce overhead. Under his leadership, the Fiat group consolidated its own operations, and officially merged with Chrysler last year. But he's also been pursuing additional mergers with the likes of Volkswagen, Peugeot, Ford, and Opel (to name just a few). Now he's pursuing a merger with GM, which has not shown much enthusiasm towards the idea. For one thing, GM is a much larger company, and probably doesn't need FCA as much as FCA needs it. For another, it has a troubled past with Marchionne, who in 2005 dissolved an agreed merger (of sorts) with GM, yet still managed to get the General to pay Fiat some $2 billion in the process. However, Marchionne is evidently hoping that the intervention of activist investors could compel GM CEO Mary Barra and company to proceed with a merger anyway. For precedent, he's looking at the recent negotiation between GM and some of its stakeholders that prompted the company to buy back $5 billion of its own shares, demonstrating Barra's willingness to deal with investors. The more compelling precedent, however, may have been set in 2006, when activist investor Kirk Kerkorian locked arms with Carlos Ghosn to get GM to consider joining the alliance between Renault and Nissan. GM ultimately declined, and Ghosn turned instead of Daimler (which of course has its own history of having merged with Chrysler). Only time will tell if this initiative will prove more successful, but one thing's for sure, and that's that Marchionne isn't about to relent in his pursuit of a major merger partner.
