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.

Chrysler recalling over 280k minivans because airbags may deploy on wrong side

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall for some 2013 Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan and Ram C/V Tradesman vans built between May 10, 2012 and June 7, 2013. These vehicles may have a software error that would cause the wrong side (opposite side) airbags to deploy in a crash. With this defect, a left-side impact would cause the right-side airbag to deploy, etc.
The recall affects 281,500 vehicles in total: 224k in the US, 49,300 in Canada, 2,900 in Mexico and 5,300 in other locations. Chrysler will notify owners of effected vehicles, and reflash the offending occupant restraint control module to resolve the issue. Scroll down to read the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration press release.

A closer look at the 2015 Chrysler 200

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

When the doors of the Detroit Auto Show open to the public tomorrow, there's no doubt that the Chevy, BMW and Lexus booths will attract plenty of foot traffic with flashy sports cars. But when it comes to relevance as it relates to sales volume and in-market shoppers, the 2015 Chrysler 200 could end up being one of the more important introductions from the show. Positioned in the highly competitive midsize sedan segment, Chrysler has quite the challenge ahead of it, so we asked Andy Love, product chief of the 200, to give us a closer look at the new sedan to see how it will stack up against cars like the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and Honda Accord.
All of the pertinent information about the new 200 was revealed during the on-stage introduction, but Love gave us a first-hand look at the sedan's more intricate details. This includes some of the exterior design elements such as the wide use of LED exterior lighting and the strategic placement of the side marker lights, and even interior cues like electronic shifter, which allowed for extra storage space in the center console. Aside from the name, the 2015 200 started from scratch riding on a similar platform as the Dodge Dart and Jeep Cherokee, based on the Alfa Romeo Giulietta.
Scroll down to watch Love talk us through the 2015 Chrysler 200, and you can find more information about it at our original post from earlier in the week.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles targets mid-October IPO

Thu, 04 Sep 2014

The merged Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is targeting October 13 to launch its initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange, CEO Sergio Marchionne told reporters assembled for a meeting in Rimini, Italy.
"The most likely date for the listing in the US is October 13," Marchionne said, according to Reuters.
Marchionne is trusting that the money made in the IPO will be contribute heavily his ambitious, $64-billion five-year growth plan, which will see FCA reboot Alfa Romeo and Maserati and expand Jeep's global presence. Should the IPO fall short, though, Marchionne has confirmed that "all decision [sic] on any capital increase will be taken by the board of FCA at the end of October."
