1948 Chrysler New Yorker Coupe This car was parked on a West Texas ranch in 1964 and has been there ever since. It is very complete car, the only thing I know of that is missing is the radio antenna and outside mirror. all the glass is in it. The door windows are cracked. Windows roll up and down. The sun took a toll on the interior. It was all still intact but very fragile. seat covers are mostly gone, the padding is there and the seat springs are still good. I took the driver side door panel off while installing patch panels in the door corners. Passenger door was OK. Fenders have typical patches in the corners. patches were put in the floor board and trunk area. The car was never wrecked, had minor dings and one dent in the trunk about the size of a dinner plate.All the wheels rolled smooth, has the original wheels, hub caps, and beauty rings. Engine is the Spitfire flat head 8 cyl. and has a fluid drive Trans. They may or may not be good. There is one piece of chrome on the rear fender that is partly smashed. there are several wrecking yards that have it in the $40 range. The pot metal trim has pitting, would be fine for a hot rod. Personally I would just paint it with the new chrome paint. The front cross member is rusted and should be replaced. .The rest of the frame is fine,. It has a big boxed frame and would be fine for a street rod. Personally I would put a new front suspension such as Fat Man ect. The original front suspension was not very good when it was new. The car has been blasted and epoxy primed in a medium dark gray. It would be fine the way it is for a rat rod or hot rod. it would take an experience body man a day to slick it up for a bright paint job. This would probably be best suited for a very rare street rod or rat rod, I have seen only one other in 3 years. There is enough room up front for a hemi or two. The white walls do not go with the car. It has a set of good roller tires.All the bumpers and valance are with the car, I personally like it better with them off.. The car can be delivered to the port in Houston, Tx. for a price for foreign buyers. Car is being sold with a Bill of Sale. I have a lady that does titles for $350. The car does not have to be moved right away but I expect a $500 deposit in three days. It will have to be towed and I will assist any way I can. I am sure I forgot something. you can call 830-370-6370 for more info. Thanks for looking.

Chrysler teases upcoming outlay of SEMA cars
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hauling a multitude of modified models to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas this November, and the company is releasing the first teasing sketches of many of them.
Unfortunately, FCA isn't giving many solid details on any of the concepts other than saying the vehicles from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat all benefit from tuning from its Mopar performance brand. The teaser photos include a sinister-looking Chrysler 200S, Fiat 500 Abarth with two-tone paint and a scorpion on the hood, a red and black 500L, seemingly two different takes on the Jeep Renegade, a green Dodge Challenger wearing the T/A badge, an orange and black Dart, a very neon Charger, just the outline of a red and black Viper, a Ram ProMaster in Mopar livery and a Ram pickup called the Outdoorsman.
Take a look through the gallery to see what you think of the sketches for these concepts, and scroll down for the full announcement from FCA.
Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?
Mon, 17 Dec 2012In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota
Mon, 23 Jun 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
