The car for sale is a 1955 Imperial 4-door. The car was donated to The Citadel Foundation and is being sold to raise money for scholarships at The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina.

- The car has a 330 Chrysler Hemi, that has just been freshly rebuilt about 100 miles ago. I have driven the car and it runs great.

- Transmission is stock and has had a major service, but not rebuilt because it was in very good shape.

- Rust free, with a respray that is not an exact match for the original color as you can see in the pictures, but shows well.

- Chrome and trim are complete and most are in excellent condition. The exception is the front bumper that has a damaged bumperette and it needs to be rechromed. Famous Gun-Sight tail lights.

- Interior is stock with the exception of the front seat bottom. Some damage to the front seat back on driver's side. I have researched the appohlstery and the original fabics are still available to repair the seat covers. New carpet.

- The electrical system has been upgraded to an 8-volt system

- Everything works except the radio and the switch for the driver's side rear window at the driver's position. The electric window works from the back seat.

- A few other minor dings and a scratched glass in the passenger's door window.

- A more complete set of pictures is available on request

The car is an excellent driver as-is, or is a great candidate for a complete restoration due to the car being complete and rust-free.

That is what I know about the car. I want to emphasize again that all of the money generated by the sale of the car is going directly to scholarships for cadets at The Citadel in Charleston, SC. We look forward to putting some money to work for academics at the college, and transferring ownership of this beautiful car.

One clarification from the previous description. The engine is the Original 331 Hemi, not the Desoto 330. Sorry for any confusion.

Fiat-Chrysler alliance in jeopardy due to Pentastar's IPO filing?

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

The four-year relationship between Fiat and Chrysler has thus far been beneficial for both automakers, but it has also proven to be a complicated battle between Sergio Marchionne and the United Auto Workers - the latter controlling the remaining 41.5 percent of Chrysler. With the recent filing for a US IPO, it looks like Marchionne and the UAW appear to be playing a billion-dollar game of chicken, with both sides far apart on how much the union's shares are worth. If it comes down to Chrysler's remaining stake being publicly traded, it could act to drive a wedge between the two companies.
According to Bloomberg, Fiat's chairman John Elkann says "if the IPO will take place, there will be two companies, and that's different than having a single one." Now, we're not great at math, but this sounds like the complete opposite of the full merger that Marchionne has been pushing for since taking the helm at Chrysler. Bloomberg notes that the UAW's shares should be worth around $5.6 billion, but Fiat could end up paying as little as $4.9 billion for Fiat to gain full control of Chrysler. A story by The Detroit News points out that Marchionne's "alleged low-balling" is just the latest hurdle the Auburn Hills-based automaker must overcome as its ownership is being fought over for the fourth time in 15 years.

Chrysler 100, midsize CUV and plug-in hybrid minivan launch bid to go mainstream

Tue, 06 May 2014

The news just keeps on rolling from Auburn Hills today, as Fiat Chrysler continues to detail its five-year growth plan. This time round, we're talking about Chrysler. The troubled American brand has been limited in the past few years to the lamentable Sebring/200, the Town & Country and the 300, although that's likely to change in the coming years.
"The Chrysler brand is not luxury - it's not premium. Chrysler is the mainstream American brand," brand CEO Al Gardner said during today's presentation.
Gardner set a sales target of 800,000 units by 2018, which marks an increase of 350,000 units compared to its 2013 sales results. That's a pretty big ask for a brand that's struggled to define itself over the past decade.

Ram confirms Fiat Ducato vans to form new Promaster series for US

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

Chrysler has officially confirmed that Ram will develop an all-new large van for the US market based on the Fiat Ducato. The commercial rig will go on sale in the third quarter of next year, joining the Ram C/V on the company's professional van line. Expect to see the Promaster face off against the Ford Transit and revised Chevrolet Express.
Chrysler is pretty skimpy on details when it comes to the Promaster, but it has said the vehicle will make use of "familiar Ram Truck styling cues." The van will reportedly also bow with powertrains targeted specifically at the North American market.
Chrysler and Ram made the announcement ahead of the LA Auto Show alongside news that the company will launch a new Ram commercial truck division.
