Read, understand and agree to full description, photos and all terms before placing bid. Have all funds in order and be ready to complete the transaction as per the terms payment methods and deadlines if you are the winning bidder. 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 recalling 780k minivans over fire risk
Fri, 09 May 2014Chrysler is recalling 780,000 of its Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2010 to 2014 model years due to the possibility of circuits overheating, which can lead to a fire. Of the 780,000 total vans being recalled, Chrysler estimates that 644,850 are in the US, 106,980 are in Canada, 8,009 are in Mexico, and 20,638 are in other markets. All of the affected vehicles were built between August 25, 2010 and October 31, 2013.
Chrysler's engineers discovered that beverage spills or exposure to moisture (from rain, snow, car washes, and the like) were linked to circuits shorting in the window switch assembly. Short circuits can overheat, and thus, cause a fire.
Chrysler will contact owners and let them know when they may schedule service, at which point, the window switches will be replaced. In the interim, the automaker says that owners may visit their dealers after May 14 to have the switches disconnected.
Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
Chrysler Uconnect gets dealer-activated navigation, new infotainment features
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Get in just about any mid-level Chrysler product these days, and you'll see a touchscreen head unit that would be perfect for a navigation system. The only thing is that some of these cars equipped with the head unit for Chrysler's Uconnect infotainment system were not optioned up with navigation at the time of purchase, leaving drivers looking for turn-by-turn directions relying on either an aftermarket nav system or a smartphone. Starting on select new Chrysler products, however, customers with Uconnect will now be able to upgrade to navigation as a dealer-activated option.
Announced at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show, this new element of Uconnect will allow owners to have an in-dash navigation system installed quickly and easily; Chrysler said that this will be a major benefit for used-car buyers. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like this system will be retroactive on previous Uconnect head units, but it will launch this year on the 2013 Ram 1500, 2013 SRT Viper and the 2014 Fiat 500L. Chrysler did not announce the expected MSRP to have dealers activate the navigation capabilities.
Another infotainment option for Chrysler buyers is the Uconnect Access system that can allow WiFi, voice text messaging, emergency assistance, remote vehicle operation (such as starting the engine or locking/unlocking the doors) and limited POI searches using Bing. Also introduced at CES, the new Uconnect Access via Mobile system builds on this by allowing users to add in-car apps such as iHeart Radio, Pandora and Slacker by connecting to the system via a smartphone. This system will first be offered on the 2013 Ram and Viper.
