1965 Chrysler Imperial Crown 6.8l on 2040-cars
Milton, Massachusetts, United States
|
Very beautiful 1965 Chrysler Imperial Crown Convertible. Drives and runs great, looks great as well. Custom paint done about 12 years ago, a stunning deep maroon with a clear coat finish. A nice tan convertible top and matching interior. All was redone about 12 years ago by the previous owner. I have had the engine rebuilt, and the transmission serviced and the whole car overall gone over. It really is a great car and I do not have issues driving it anywhere. It is not a perfect car however. There are some issues, there is one chip of paint missing from the hood. The only other issues that I am aware of have to do with the dashboard. The gear shift indicator and speedometer do not work. The speedometer needs to have the grease removed from the maqnet is what I am told. The gear shift indicator seems a bit more complicated. Other than that, the heat and ac have been disconnected and I have never had that addressed. The fan however does work. Also the antenna needs to be replaced and a window button does as well. This car is definitely a head turner. It has been used in a number of parades and weddings. It spends most of its time in a garage and is not used much more at all. The interior and the carpets are in excellent condition, as is the top and the rear window. The top goes up and down very nicely. The whiskers in the passenger windows needs to be replaced as well. The ride is very smooth and luxurious. The car is also very peppy and fast. It is a very heavy vehicle and handles itself very well. |

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?
NHTSA investigating power modules on Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans
Mon, 29 Sep 2014The Center for Auto Safety is officially petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to begin scrutinizing alleged problems with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on about 24 Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans. The advocacy group claims that the part's failure can cause affected vehicles to stall or not start at all. NHTSA is still looking into the accusations and deciding whether a full investigation is actually warranted.
The CAS petition claims at least 70 TIPM failures, but according to NHTSA, six of the complaints are for models that don't have the modules. In 34 of the reported cases, the vehicles refused to start, and in 17 of them the engine stalled. There were also two allegations of smoke and one of a fire. However, none of these affected airbag deployment or resulted in a crash.
This petition isn't the first TIPM-related problem for Chrysler Group. A recent report in the New York Times alleged that it found 240 complaints potentially related to the issue on NHTSA's website alone. In September, the automaker also recalled 230,760 examples worldwide (188,723 in the US) of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango replace the fuel pump relay circuit inside of the TIPM-7 with one external to the unit. The original part could allegedly cause the models to stall without warning. Even earlier, the company also recalled about 80,000 examples of the Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Nitro in 2007 to have the module reprogrammed.
Chrysler names six new board directors
Mon, 16 Jun 2014Executives may call the shots day-to-day at the world's leading automakers - much as they do at any other corporation - but the ultimate decision-making body remains the board of directors. And Chrysler has just named six new members to its board.
The appointments include Hermann Waldemer, the former CFO of Philip Morris International - the tobacco giant whose Marlboro brand has funneled untold billions into Ferrari as the Scuderia's title sponsor for decades, and on whose board Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne sits. Waldemer replaces Doug Steenland, who came to the Chrysler board after Northwest Airlines (at which he served as CEO) merged with Delta, and whose term on the board expired just days ago.
In addition to the Waldemer appointment, Chrysler has expanded its board with five more seats, all filled by existing group executives. Among them are Reid Bigland (head of US and Canadian sales and of the Ram truck brand), Fiat general counsel Giorgio Fossati, human resources director Michael J. Keegan, Jeep CEO Michael Manley, and group CFO Richard Palmer.
