Up for auction is the rarest car I have ever owned, and I've owned quite a few. Only 205 of them made,this could your only chance ever to own 1 It is a 1952 chrysler imperial crown edition. This car had it all back in the day, and if you were driving it you were somebody! It was equipped with a 331 Hemi with a fluid drive transmission. Car has more chrome than should be legal. The car runs and drives like an absolute dream. I was personally amazed when I drove it for the 1st time. If you really want to know how luxurious this car was, let me give you an example: This cars msrp was $4627. In 1953 the 1st corvettes came out with an msrp of $3498. over $1000 difference and that was an insane amount of money back then. Car has factory jack in the trunk along with a few spare parts (extra taillights in excellent condition, 2 new mirrors, 1 taillight lens, pieces that go on valve covers to cover spark plugs, few extra belts, spare 2 bbl carb that I believe is factory). Motor has been rebuilt because when I was going through the trunk all of the old parts were in there including valves, valve springs, timing chain and gears and pistons. All glass is good except for the pass side front it has a crack. Doors all function properly and so do door and quarter glass. Factory power steering. Gauges all work properly. I drove it down the road with no problems. Car has very minor exterior rust, and little rust in the floorboards but that's it. Trunk is in exceptional condition. Headlights, Taillights work, dash lights. This is a 2-owner car, first owner bought it and then the man I bought it from was his nephew and he has had it since '87. There are crowns all over this car, wheels, hood, decklid, gauge cluster, has the factory crown key. The pictures dont do it justice. Clean Mo title in hand. May consider trades. If you have any questions feel free to email me of give me a call at 573-776-5405. Thanks for looking, Morgan
By the way, Elvis drove one...

Marchionne offers belated apology for 'wop engine' comment

Wed, 22 May 2013

Automotive 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.

Fiat board makes Chrysler merger official, approves $5.4B bond sale

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

Fiat's board of directors has officially approved the merger plan that will see the conglomerate's automotive operations merged with Chrysler into the new Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
The plan essentially provides a road map for the structure of the new company. It includes provisions for Fiat shareholders - one Fiat share will translate to one share of FCA common stock. The new company will also include a loyalty voting structure, which will provide for shareholders of Fiat stock or those that have held FCA stock for at least three years. According to the plan, these shareholders would see their voting power double, with two votes for every share of FCA's common stock. The overall merger plan still needs to be approved by the company's shareholders.
In other Fiat-related news, the company's board has announced a bond issuance of four billion euro ($5.4 billion). The new bonds should provide the company with a degree of flexibility in refinancing debts associated with the merger plan.

Marchionne's pay as Fiat CEO falls to $5M

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

Sergio Marchionne will be buying fewer of his iconic sweaters, as his 2013 pay from Fiat took a dip from $6.24 million to an even $5 million. Marchionne, who was also CEO of Chrysler, made $307,989 thanks to some stocks and benefits from the American company, although he didn't take a salary. Of that $5 million paid by Fiat, $3.19 million came from Marchionne's fixed salary while the remaining $1.8 million was paid for hitting unspecified performance targets.
The news comes from Fiat's compensation reports, which also showed that the 61-year-old, who already owned three million shares in Fiat at the end of 2013, was able to receive an additional 2.3 million shares through a stock incentive program. According to Automotive News Europe, the additional shares would be worth about $25 million at today's prices, although so far, Marchionne has declined to claim the extra shares.
According to ANE, Fiat reported a 2013 trading profit of $4.7 billion.
