 1950 Chrysler Imperial. In good condition with all systems in good working order.  All gauges, radio, power windows power brakes, built in back up lights work as they should.
A brief history of the car.

1951-1975
Was originally purchased in Inianapolis by the owner of Capitol Glass Company, Ralph Reibeling on 3-22-1951.  The original owner kept very good servicing records.  For the first 7 years he took it in to the Chrysler Agency every month for servicing.  Even after he purchased another vehicle for his main car, he still took it to the dealer for transmission rebuilding.

1975-1999
The second owner rarely drove the car but had the engine overhauled when the head gasket failed and leaked coolant into the cylinders(12,000 miles back).  Sometime during this ownership the car was repainted.  In 1986 the car was used in the movie "Hoosier's" with Gene Hackman.

1999-2007
The 3rd owner did little more than keep it in dry storage and roadworthy.  In their 8 years of ownership it was driven less than 4,000 miles.

2007-
I purchased the car from the 3rd owner in Wolcottville, Indiana.

The car is all original except for the repaint from between 25 and 35 years ago and the front seat cushion and the package tray was recovered in matching original type wool broadcloth.  It has had the oil pan removed, cleaned and replaced with fresh gaskets. The fuel pump and water pump have been replaced.  The relays in each door for the power windows have been cleaned and serviced for worry free operation of the power windows(fully electric power windows, an industry first).  It has the Prestomatic 4 speed fluid drive "Tip Toe" automatic transmission that has never given any trouble and is effortless to drive.
The electrical system is the original 6 volt system with original bulls eye headlights, electric wipers.


This car is ready to be driven anywhere. We have used the car for car club tours(both AACA and CCCA).  It has just had a though inspection and is ready for spring.

Please no scammers or international sales.  No texts or emails so please call 785...231...7125 if you have any questions.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014



The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

Court ruling to delay Fiat's Chrysler buyout?

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

We've already reported on the attempts of Fiat to purchase the remaining 41.5-percent stake in Chrysler, currently owned by the United Auto Workers' VEBA healthcare trust. And while the issues still aren't resolved, Fiat has received both a bit of good news and a bit of bad news from a Delaware judge.
The good news is that the court ruled in favor on two key arguments of Fiat's, relating to what is a fair price for the Chrysler shares. The rulings essentially slash half a billion dollars off the price of the 54,000 shares owned by VEBA, according to a report from Reuters.
The bad news is that this makes the UAW an even more difficult opponent in negotiations. Its VEBA fund is meant to cover ever escalating retiree healthcare costs, so naturally, the UAW wants to get as much money as possible. Losing a big chunk of cash isn't likely to make the union more cooperative.

2014 Ram Power Wagon is bigger and badder than ever [w/video]

Wed, 09 Apr 2014



"The 2014 Ram Power Wagon fills a need for those who travel into extreme terrain for rescue or recreation." - Reid Bigland
More, more, more. That's the philosophy behind the latest Ram Power Wagon. The extra-brawny, Ram 2500-based pickup is back for 2014, and naturally, it's even more extreme than its predecessor.
