RARE opportunity for Chrysler fans!

I am selling a rare 1956 Chrysler New Yorker automobile for a friend of mine who lives out of state. This rare find has been in storage for over 13 years and has only 39,768 miles on the car. It has the original paint from the factory on it and is the rare 4 door hardtop model which Chrysler only produced 3,599 units of in 1956. The auto has the original factory Kelsey-Hays wire wheels that are a rare item to behold. The auto is a dash mounted push button automatic model as the picture shows. The engine is the Chrysler original 5.6L 354 HEMI model with 280 h.p. with factory duel exhausts. It still has the factory spare tire in the trunk as in the photo. This car was purchased many years ago in El Monte Calif. in April 1987 from an elderly lady and then driven to the Chicago area with no problems. This auto is major rust free! There is only mild rust on the surface of the rocker panel bottoms and some slightly blistered chrome on the car. The car is solid and can be verified in the pictures showing the under hood and under trunk lid. As stated earlier this auto was removed from storage after 13 years and sent to a mechanic to get it running and to see if anything needed repair. A new fuel pump was installed and a new float assembly was installed in the fuel tank. Check out the pictures of the headliner and there is no sun damage to the inside rear window or padded dash. The engine runs very quite and the transmission shifts great. A new battery was also installed in the auto with new fluids. I would admit the auto should most likely get new points and plugs installed although the car starts and runs fine. The brakes should also most likely be checked out since the car is this old. The radio comes on but I cannot get any stations and I do not actually know what else would be needed but again all the parts are there for your approval. The car can be seen in Dixon, Illinois and I can be contacted for an appointment at 815-288-4139 or email pslonsky@comcast.net. Again this is a RARE opportunity for you to own a very good condition 1956 Chrysler with only 39,768 miles on it. Please contact me if you have any questions and arrange a look see if you desire.

Mopar opening Custom Shop at Cobo

Thu, 09 Jan 2014

While other automakers have been streamlining their brand portfolio, the Chrysler Group has shown no such signs. It's got the Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep brands, plus Fiat, and it recently broke out its SRT and Ram nameplates into their own brands. And you can bet each will have its own presence at the Detroit Auto Show this year. But don't forget Mopar. The company's performance parts division is getting its own display at Cobo this year, and it'll be the largest in the brand's history.
The Mopar Custom Shop is poised to take up 5,500 square-feet of Cobo floor space, further expanding on last year's Mopar Garage. If the image above offers any indication, the show stand will include a Dodge Challenger, SRT Viper, Fiat 500L, Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Cherokee, Ram 3500 and what looks like (but isn't identified in the press release below as) a Chrysler 200 (which may be replaced by a 2014 model), all augmented with Mopar parts and accessories.
Visitors will also be able to use pre-programmed iPads to configure Chrysler Group vehicles with a wide range of accessories - a portfolio that grows by 1,500 new parts every year and tops over 100 add-ons for every new vehicle Chrysler launches.

Chrysler 200 subtitles performance in latest round of advertising

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

Every once in a while, we come across a car video narrated in a foreign language and subtitled in English. They usually center on foreign-made automobiles, but this latest series of videos comes straight from Detroit.
Airing for the first time during's NFL broadcasts, these four commercials for the 2015 Chrysler 200 were produced by Wieden + Kennedy Portland - the same advertising firm that created the now-legendary Eminem spot for the last-generation 200.
Each clip in the "Ready to Take on the World" campaign highlights a different aspect of the American sedan and is narrated in Japanese, German or Swedish - each with English subtitles - associating the 200's Japanese level of quality, German performance and Swedish safety standards. But while the clips are ostensibly set in Japan, Germany and Sweden, Automotive News reports that they were actually filmed at home in the US.

Chrysler 200 replacement coming in January

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Autoweek reports the next Chrysler 200 will bow early next year. CEO Sergio Marchionne has said the 2015 model will debut next January, and Chrysler plans to cut the 2014 200 model year short to make way for the model's successor. According to AW, internal documents reveal 2014 model production will start this July and run through early January, 2014. The memos don't specify whether its Dodge Avenger twin will also see a shortened model year (the latter was originally rumored for discontinuation, but a successor is apparently back on the table). Chrysler is investing some $1 billion to construct paint and body facilities at its Sterling Heights, Michigan plant for the next-generation 200.
From what we've heard so far, we can expect the 2015 200 to bring a new design language to the Chrysler brand that will eventually bleed into the automaker's other products. Early reports have also suggested the four door will boast a nine-speed automatic transmission and return up to 38 miles per gallon.
Chrysler executed a very successful facelift in 2011, turning the flailing Sebring into the newly minted 200. Buyers responded enthusiastically, with sales jumping 44 percent in 2012. That step up was enough to make the 200 the brand's best-selling car. The momentum hasn't slackened, either, with sales up 21 percent during the first two months of this year.
