1948 Chrysler New Yorker Coupe This car was parked on a West Texas ranch in 1964 and has been there ever since. It is very complete car, the only thing I know of that is missing is the radio antenna and outside mirror. all the glass is in it. The door windows are cracked. Windows roll up and down. The sun took a toll on the interior. It was all still intact but very fragile. seat covers are mostly gone, the padding is there and the seat springs are still good. I took the driver side door panel off while installing patch panels in the door corners. Passenger door was OK. Fenders have typical patches in the corners. patches were put in the floor board and trunk area. The car was never wrecked, had minor dings and one dent in the trunk about the size of a dinner plate.All the wheels rolled smooth, has the original wheels, hub caps, and beauty rings. Engine is the Spitfire flat head 8 cyl. and has a fluid drive Trans. They may or may not be good. There is one piece of chrome on the rear fender that is partly smashed. there are several wrecking yards that have it in the $40 range. The pot metal trim has pitting, would be fine for a hot rod. Personally I would just paint it with the new chrome paint. The front cross member is rusted and should be replaced. .The rest of the frame is fine,. It has a big boxed frame and would be fine for a street rod. Personally I would put a new front suspension such as Fat Man ect. The original front suspension was not very good when it was new. The car has been blasted and epoxy primed in a medium dark gray. It would be fine the way it is for a rat rod or hot rod. it would take an experience body man a day to slick it up for a bright paint job. This would probably be best suited for a very rare street rod or rat rod, I have seen only one other in 3 years. There is enough room up front for a hemi or two. The white walls do not go with the car. It has a set of good roller tires.All the bumpers and valance are with the car, I personally like it better with them off.. The car can be delivered to the port in Houston, Tx. for a price for foreign buyers. Car is being sold with a Bill of Sale. I have a lady that does titles for $350. The car does not have to be moved right away but I expect a $500 deposit in three days. It will have to be towed and I will assist any way I can. I am sure I forgot something. you can call 830-370-6370 for more info. Thanks for looking.

Jeep Cherokee faces on-sale delay
Sat, 23 Mar 2013A report in The Wall Street Journal looks at some of the obstacles to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee that go beyond its mootable yet "very contemporary" looks, almost all of them based on Fiat's financial position. Starting with that sheetmetal, in defense of it SRT president Ralph Gilles and Jeep design head Mark Allen said they wanted to "make sure the design still looks modern five years from now."
The WSJ piece doesn't cite longevity as a factor, instead saying that its features originated in a design for an Alfa Romeo, the transformation into a Jeep design meant allowing Chrysler get it to market more quickly and save "hundreds of millions of dollars" in engineering.
The need for Fiat to save money while it weathers the European situation has cut budgets for development, engineering and the pace of retooling the Toledo, Ohio plant to build the Cherokee. In a familiar case of snowballing at work, among the effects will be pushing back the Cherokee's volume sales date and delaying updates to some of Chrysler's other products.
What the Chrysler 200 will probably look like in convertible form
Thu, 16 Jan 2014Since 1996, Chrysler has offered a convertible version of its Sebring and 200. As this seems very unlikely to change, it's safe to assume that a new 200 Convertible is in the works following the unveiling of the radically redesigned sedan. What it will look like, though, remains an open question.
Traditionally, the only major styling differences between the Sebring/200 Convertible and the sedan were found above the beltline. It's likely a 2016 200 Convertible would follow a similar philosophy, especially considering the dashing good looks of the redesigned sedan.
Artist Theophilus Chin has a similar idea, as shown in a pair of renderings he's released. Using a few of the stock photos from the 200 Sedan's reveal, Chin has given us our first glimpse of what a 200 Convertible could looks like. It's sharp, retaining the good looks of the sedan. The windshield looks like it's been swept back further, and obviously, there are a pair of doors missing. Other than that, it's the same attractive car that debuted at Detroit.
Conan releases extended cut of Chrysler's Super Bowl ad
Tue, 04 Feb 2014Chrysler's latest Super Bowl ad follows in the footsteps of its classic Imported From Detroit spot starring rapper Eminem and Half-Time in America ad starring Clint Eastwood. Featuring Bob Dylan's gravely voice asking, "Is there anything more American... than America?" the spot has been somewhat controversial, thanks to a few lines informing viewers that Germany can brew beer, Switzerland can make watches and Asia can assemble phones. The US, though, will build your car, Dylan tells us. When the ad aired, Shinola-wearing Detroiters simultaneously spit out their Atwater beer over the perceived slight.
Naturally, that controversy has spawned more than a few parodies, one of which comes from Conan O'Brien. Coco expands on the list of things that aren't made in the US, like French water, Danish cheese and Japanese animated, um, adult films. Beyond those examples, there are a number of other things that should be left to countries that aren't the United States. It's a chuckle-worthy parody, so scroll down and have a look, and compare it to the original Super Bowl ad below that.
