1953 Chrysler Custom Crown Imperial. Only 823 of these we're made in 1953. Story is the man bought it new and only drove it around town for a couple years then he passed away. After that his wife let it sit in the garage for 30 years. Then it went to a body shop in the 90s to get restored and the shop closed down and the car sat there for 10 more years. They took off some front trim and started doing bodywork I have all front trim and door panels in trunk. All side window and back trim is still on the car. Even vent window visors and crown emblems. Dash is beautiful has all knobs working and steering wheel is in very good condition, not much wear or tear that's why I truly believe this is a 9k mile car, it even has factory "OK" stamps still on the firewall. It's a true time capsule it came with a issue of popular mechanics from feb 1953 witch I will include with the car. Original wire wheels and a spare. HEMI engine, "fire power" and it's all there even the wiring. Power windows, power locks, power brakes, power steering and first year for ac! This was a luxury car in its day. The unfortunate thing is when it was at the body shop over those years it sat outside and all the interior turned to a crisp the dash pad is cracked and seats are falling apart. Everything is there, just has to be upholstered. Also from sitting outside the rocker panels went bad. The floor is solid and around the windows is nice as well. Even the drip rails over the windows are clean with no rust at all. Only on the outer rocker panels. Truly a beautiful and unique car. I had a hard time even finding any online. Also someone told me it was a special order with some add ons that didn't come factory. These cars are very rare and go for 35-40k when restored. Any questions please let me know. John 626 222 3093

Marchionne offers belated apology for 'wop engine' comment
Wed, 22 May 2013Automotive News reports Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has issued a written apology for his comments regarding his decision to stick with an Italian engine for the upcoming Alfa Romeo 4C. As you may recall, back in January, Marchionne was quoted as saying, "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it has to be a wop engine." The CEO penned an apology to the Italian American ONE VOICE Coalition for using the racial epithet, saying that he made the comment in jest. Marchionne also said he realizes his remarks were unacceptable.
ONE VOICE, an organization aimed at fighting discrimination and stereotyping of Italian Americans, thanked Marchionne, Chrysler and Fiat for the apology. Marchionne is an Italian-born Canadian citizen, and he's gotten in trouble for other comments in the past. In 2011, he called high interest rates Chrysler was paying to the Canadian government "shyster rates." He apologized a day later.
Chrysler recalls AWD 300, Charger, Ram 1500 over ZF transmission
Tue, 24 Dec 2013What do the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Ram 1500 all have in common? Yes, they're all Chrysler products, and two of them are based on the same platform. And we're sure you could find more similarities between them all, but the common trait we're looking at here is that, while they all come standard in rear-drive form, they're also available with all-wheel drive. And it's the transmission in those models that's the subject of the latest recall notice issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The output shaft on the eight-speed automatic transmission supplied by ZF to Chrysler for the AWD versions of the 300, Charger and Ram 1500 is apparently prone to fracture. That in the end could leave the vehicle without power and could, according to the NHTSA investigation, increase the chance of a crash. The vehicle could also roll away if even if left in Park without the handbrake applied.
That's why Chrysler is calling in 4,194 examples of those three models from the 2013 model year. Dealers will be responsible for inspecting the transmissions and, where necessary, replace the entire unit. See the full recall notice below for all the details.
2015 Chrysler 200
Thu, 20 Mar 2014For the last seven years, the Chrysler Sebring/200 has been a car that few people have managed to say anything good about. When you saw one on the road, it was probably silver and you probably assumed it was rented - especially if it was a convertible. In fact, this writer has never been in one. Ever. I've only watched them go by, trailed always by a roiling wake of invective and vituperation, a lone defender or two asserting meekly and in vain, "It's actually not that bad..."
With roughly 2.3-million units sold every year in the midsize sedan segment where the 200 lives, even tallying 125,476 sales in 2012 (when the 200 was the best-selling car in the Chrysler Group) was never going to be enough. This is the brand's volume offering and the entry point for new-car buyers before they move up to something like a full-size or a crossover. Chrysler's 2011 facelift and rebranding program was a pretty valiant attempt at putting lipstick on a Sebring, but the automaker needed to do a lot better, in every way to command more consideration, sales, respect and resale value - and everyone at The Pentastar knew it.
Enter the 2015 Chrysler 200. This is the sedan that "charts a new course for the Chrysler brand," from its hovering wing badge on the grille to the one billion dollars invested in the company's suburban Detroit Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, including more than doubling the number of quality control inspectors in the new quality assurance center.
