Thank you

Where to start, I would love to keep this amazing piece of automotive history but I simply no longer have the space and storage.
This 1952 Chrysler New Yorker is a two owner car. I have the ORIGINAL 1952 Title and the original 1952 license plate which came with the car.

This automobile has been garaged its entire life. It has never been out in the rain, or any kind of weather, It was stored inside a garage with a wooden floor its entire life. Dry and protected from the elements.

The car is almost completely original and untouched, the way it came out of the showroom floor 62 years ago.
Take a look at the photos they tell the car as it is.

The 331 Chrysler Hemi runs absolutely amazing. Starts right up, runs whisper quiet. No smoke, no leaks.
The fluid drive transmission operates flawlessly
It of course has had a minimal going over to make it road safe. It has New Brakes and wheel cylinders all the way around as well as a new master cylinder.
It has a brand new Water Pump, the starter and generator were gone over and freshened up and it has a newer NAPA battery
Everything else is original, including the hoses and belts.
Tires are old poly glass bias tires. I am shocked that they are not dry rotted but I would strongly suggest they be replaced with a vintage reproduction tire if the car is going to be driven any distance to shows or cruises.
The interior is in one word INCREDIBLE! It is basically flawless, the way it looked in 1952 and completely original. I found one hairline crack in the passenger side front arm rest. Very small and almost not even visible but I mention what I see. How this was kept in this condition is amazing. The original carpets are like new, seats, door panels etc.
The exterior paint is about the same way, it is smooth and has a nice lustre. Now it is 62 years old so it is not like the paints of today. It is the paint they used in 1952. There is no rust or rot on this car at all. The rear fenders have some very small blisters under the paint, I have seen this on other 50's mopars, if you pick them off, the metal is bare underneath, not rusty. Again, this is not something noticeable but mentionable. Personally I would not bother having them redone, as it would take away from the total originality of this vehicle.  Paint wise, one other spot to mention is I noticed a small touch up spot above the right rear fender which would have had to have been done long long ago. Possibly even when it was new.
The chrome on the car ranges from beautiful to presentable. Most of the die cast is very nice. The hood ornament and hood and trunk 'V" are beautiful. The fender spears have some pitting, as well as some very very small pitting on the door handles. The stainless work is perfect. The bumpers are as Mopar made them back then, a commercial non brilliant chrome. They do show aging but present themselves as they were produced in the proper authentic chroming that was done to Chrysler bumpers back then.

Everything works on the car with possibly the clock, I am not sure if the former owner pulled the fuse as most did cause they were electric and ran the battery down over time. Radio works, as do all lights and heater although again, the hoses should be replaced to that, they are 62 years old.

Take a good look at the photos, feel free to ask questions as I may have missed something important to you and PLEASE FOLLOW ALL TERMS AND PAYMENT DEADLINES IF BIDDING and PLEASE!! NO TIRE KICKERS! I want this car to go to a proper home where it can be preserved the way it is or improved. If you are not serious enough to commit to a car of this quality, please look elsewhere. Thank You!

Chrysler's next-gen minivans will get more expensive

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Chrysler introduced the value-oriented Great American Package on the base model Chrysler 300 in 2005. That morphed into the American Value Package available as an option on the Dodge Grand Caravan in 2012, which made it the lowest-priced minivan in the country, now with an MSRP of $21,395. Automotive News reports that Chrysler is going to kill the value package when the new Town & Country arrives for 2017, because the new platform and technology of the coming minivan make it "a difficult price point to get to." AN says the next-generation haulers will come in around $26,000 and can go beyond $45,000 with options; clicking every "Add" button we could find on the Town & Country build page, we couldn't get past $43,000 for today's model. That entry pricing in 2017 would eliminate the first three trims on the Dodge option, the American Value Package, the SE that starts at $24,195, and the SE Plus that starts at $24,995. This makes us think the next-generation haulers will take a sizable step upscale in terms of feel, content, and trim, a la the Chrysler 200. In this writer's opinion, if they do as good a job as they've been doing recently, the extra money will be worth it. There have been spy shots and a lot of rumors about it, like the Caravan minivan going away and becoming a crossover, but we'll see it revealed at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show.

Fiat/PSA's dominance in small vans hangs up EU's merger approval

Mon, Jun 8 2020

BRUSSELS — EU antitrust regulators are concerned about Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot / PSA's combined high market share in small vans and may require concessions to clear their $50 billion merger, people familiar with the matter said. The companies, which are seeking to create the world's fourth biggest carmaker, were told of the European Commission's concerns last week. If Fiat and PSA fail to dispel the European Commission's doubts in the next two days and subsequently decline to offer concessions by Wednesday, the deadline for doing so, the deal would face a four-month-long investigation. The EU competition enforcer, which has set a June 17 deadline for its preliminary review, declined to comment. Fiat was not immediately available for comment while PSA had no immediate comment. Hiving off overlapping businesses, usually a regulatory demand to ensure more competition, could prove tricky for the carmakers because of the technicalities. Fiat and PSA are looking to merge to help offset slowing demand and shoulder the cost of making cleaner vehicles to meet tougher emissions regulations. The deal puts under one roof the Italian carmaker's brands such as Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Maserati and the French company's Peugeot, Opel and DS.

Chrysler unveils Dodge Charger SRT8 392, 300 SRT Concept to the faithful

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Our man Steven J. Ewing recently spent some time in a 2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee, and while he found a lot to love - particularly underhood - he didn't care for the sedan's retro-steeped visuals, preferring the standard SRT's look instead. Perhaps he'll dig this throwback look instead. Over the weekend, Chrysler unveiled this handsome 2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 392 Appearance Package at the eighth annual Spring Festival of LXs, a gathering of Charger, Challenger and Chrysler 300 enthusiasts held in Irvine, California.
Unveiled by SRT CEO Ralph Gilles in front of an estimated 2,500 Spring Fest goers, the 392 features 20-inch Black Vapor Chrome alloys set off by a black-painted roof panel, hood bulge, spoiler and mirror caps. Additional exterior changes include model-specific striping and badging along with the requisite serialized dash plaque inside. The 392 will be available in five colors - Billet Silver Metallic, Bright White, Hemi Orange, Plum Crazy and the TorRed pain seen here.
Performance-wise, the 392 remains unchanged from standard SRT8s, but that's hardly a slight - the 6.4 liter Hemi V8 continues to churn out 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. Like other 2013 SRT8s, the 392 benefits from the institution of a new launch control system and a retuned three-mode adaptive suspension.
