1957 CHRYSLER IMPERIAL CROWN TWO-DOOR HARDTOP WITH FACTORY HEMI Here is a very rare find, and with interesting historical papers showing the car registered to the Mexican Presidents home (Los Pinos) in 1958. This is a 1957 Chrysler Imperial Crown South Hampton Edition. The car runs and drives and still has its original 392 Hemi “Fire Power” motor and push button transmission. The car came with Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Windows, Power Seat etc. No Air Conditioning. All the glass is good, the power windows kinda work, but very slowly. Wipers work, can’t get headlights to come-on. The original radio is there but does not function. The speedometer works and mileage reads 93,XXX. A few gauges work...a few don’t. The body of the car is really nice over all...I have found no signs of Bondo. The original floors, and trunk pan are intact and solid. The car has minor rust issues as in bubbles under the paint in a few areas. The brakes stop the car but currently the car pulls a bit. It looks like the passenger front brake wheel cylinder is leaking. The interior was redone at some point, its presentable, The carpet is old, and it could use a new headliner. The chrome on the car is good to poor condition. The car is like 52 years old. The front bumper should be re chromed. Missing one small piece of trim over a headlight. The original paint color was Gun Metal Gray. I saw some pictures of it and it looked smashing. If you have questions, I have answers...please call Houston Wills at 210-548-1310. The car comes with a clear Texas title and a file of old documents going back to 1957. PAYMENT AND STORAGE

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name
Thu, 07 Aug 2014
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
Chrysler and Fiat offering $1,000 rebates to VW owners as Marchionne gets tough
Mon, 10 Dec 2012The throw-down between Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne and Volkswagen has heated up in earnest. According to Bloomberg, Fiat and Chrysler are now offering current Volkswagen owners in the US $1,000 rebates to trade in their ride. It's the latest in a series of shots Marchionne has taken at his German rival. As you may recall, the Fiat executive entered into a spat with Volkwagen board chairman Ferdinand Piëch and CEO Martin Winterkorn in October after the duo called for Marchionne's resignation from presidency of the European Automotive Manufacturers Association (AECA). At the time, the Volkswagen executives were quoted as saying Fiat would not survive the European economic downturn.
In response, Marchionne called the German executives "reprehensible," and accused Volkswagen of using a pricing strategy that has created created a "bloodbath" in the EU. Volkswagen has taken to steep discounting to carve out ever-larger slices of market share in Europe, but the company has a much smaller foothold in the US. Marchionne may be trying to hit Volkswagen where the manufacturer is weakest with the new Fiat new incentive program.
Late last week, the Fiat executive was voted to a second term as ACEA president.
Is Chrysler's 'America's Import' campaign outdated or offensive? [w/poll]
Tue, 04 Nov 2014Chrysler launched its America's Import campaign with a splashy ad during the Super Bowl starring Bob Dylan and featuring a whole bunch of patriotic imagery that included Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, factory employees and, of course, the city of Detroit. Since then, the brand has followed the original spot with even more ads using the same tagline. Not everyone is pleased, it seems, including The Detroit Free Press auto critic Mark Phelan, who's fed up with the marketing. In an editorial for the newspaper, Phelan claims that it's insulting to the US auto industry and its workers.
"The phrase 'America's import,' with its suggestion that 'import' equals 'better,' feels terribly dated, a relic of the 1980s. It's the rhetorical equivalent of hanging a pastel-hued 'Miami Vice' poster on your office wall," writes Phelan in the piece. Also, since some of the brand's cars are made in Canada, the line isn't even entirely true, he claims. Phelan goes on to praise the company's earlier Imported from Detroit commercials for getting the right message across and showing pride in the city.
While "America's Import" might be the tagline for Chrysler's ads, it's not the whole message. Subsequent ads keep the hard-working, patriotic imagery from the original Super Bowl spot but put a bigger emphasis on the Chrysler 200 that the commercials are meant to sell.
