1956 Dodge Coronet Sedan on 2040-cars
Winston-Salem, North Carolina, United States
|
1956 Dodge Coronet, "The Forward Look", 4 door sedan, original V-8
runs strong, dash mounted push button selector for the automatic
transmission, light blue, with nice, clean, black and white interior,
good brakes and tires. It is a very enjoyable daily driver car to enjoy.
NEW: battery, carb rebuild, tuneup, tires, $1116 front end rebuild just
completed, valve cover gaskets, master cylinder, fuel pump, brakes,
rear window gasket, front end alignment, front end rebuild, alternator,
front transmission seal, and more. This 1956 Dodge is a product of
Virgil Exner's design team called "The Forward Look". When you see it,
what strikes you, though it will take some time for you to figure it
out, is the long, gentle, sweeping arc stretching uninterrupted from
headlight brow to tail light tip. And those headlights, unlike the
previous year's Dodge—and unlike those of Ford and Chevrolet—are hidden
from the side by forward-canted hoods. The taillights are hooded with a
complimentary rearward cant. It gives the new Dodge a sense of being in
forward motion even while standing still. The doors open and close with a
solid thunk, not a hollow metallic whap like today’s cars. The front
grille is a handsome, massive affair, and it looks spectacular between
those hooded headlights. Because of its "flight sweep" styling, this car
draws a crowd. Selling for less than amount invested, $8250. 1950s FINS ARE IN ! You are very unlikely to find another 1950s car with fins for this low a price, anywhere! You'll have the only one at car shows and cruise ins. This is a rare survivor! 336-765-8312, North Carolina, email for pictures: wwhitfield@triad.rr.com delivery suggestions available world wide
Remember: Collector Cars are more stable than the stock market.

2013 Dodge Challenger V6 recalled for fire risk, owners asked not to drive
Sun, 17 Mar 2013Chrysler has issued a recall for the V6 version of the 2013 Dodge Challenger (as pictured above in 2012MY) over the possibility of a wiring harness that could short circuit and lead to a fire. Owners of these V6 Challengers built from November 2012 through January 2013 are being urged to contact dealers immediately and, in the meantime, not to drive their cars or park in or near any buildings.
Chrysler estimates around 2,500 potentially affected Challengers are in owners' hands, while another 1,900 are still sitting on dealer lots. The total number of recalled vehicles is 4,459.
So far, Chrysler says that seven fires have been reported - none resulting in injuries. The company is instructing vehicle owners to contact their dealer to find out if their vehicle is included in the recall, but owners can also find the build date information of their vehicle by checking the label in the driver's door jamb.
Mopar '13 Dart will roll into Chicago next week
Thu, 31 Jan 2013We think this officially counts as a tradition. Every year going back to 2010, Mopar has rolled out a limited edition version of a popular product from the Chrysler Group portfolio. First it was the Mopar '10 Challenger, then the Mopar '11 Charger, then last year's Mopar '12 300, and this year it will be the Mopar '13 Dart, which will make its official world debut next week at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show.
Limited in number to just 500 units, the Mopar '13 Dart is no mere appearance package, though the demeanor of the Dart will be murdered out with a gloss black finish, gloss black 18-inch wheels, a set of Mopar blue stripes and a mean-looking Mopar ground effects kit. Likewise, the interior is touched up with leather seats (a blue one for the driver and black hides for the passengers), gloss black and black chrome trim, blue accent stitching, a sport pedal kit and other Mopar interior accessories.
Turning our attention back to the mechanical bits, the Mopar '13 Dart comes with the car's most powerful engine, a turbocharged 1.4-liter MultiAir four (shared with Fiat 500 Abarth) that's paired with a manual transmission. Those big, black wheels get wrapped in low profile 225/40R18 performance tires, and keeping everything in check is an upgraded brake kit with slotted rotors. The steering has also been calibrated for performance, the suspension lowered seven millimeters, and the exhaust tuned for better engine breathing.
I sold my Viper, but the memories I'll keep
Thu, 30 May 2013The following is written by auto industry veteran Tow Kowaleski. The words are his own, but the memories now belong to everyone thanks to his willingness to share. If you're an industry veteran with a story to share, contact us at tipsATautoblogDOTcom.
It became the flame that started the fire of belief in the next life of Chrysler.
I just sold a car. Nothing new. Millions do it every day. But my car was a 1995 Dodge Viper, so maybe it was a bit more unique since just 12,000 were built. And like others selling a car that's been a part of the family for close to 20 years, this was a confluence of emotions for me. I was sad to see it go, but happy to have the cash and one less big, shiny, under-utilized object in my life.
