1948 Chrysler Crown Imperial Limousine Over the three year period 1946 – 1948 just 750 Imperial limousines were built. Chrysler did not break down individual year production during that time frame. This example is readily identifiable as a 1948 because of the short chrome spear over the front wheel well. The C-40 models are accepted as Full Classics by the Classic Car Club of America. Powered by a 323 cubic inch straight-8 with 135 horsepower and backed by a 4-speed Fluid Drive transmission it sits on a 145.5” wheelbase. The car weighs almost 5,000 lbs. Inside, the front compartment is black leather. Behind the power divider glass is the blue and gray broadcloth passenger compartment with a folding pair of jump seats. This car is a very original example with a lot of original paint. With the exception of the front bumper the chrome is all original and in very good condition. There is some minor deterioration as you might expect from a 65-year old car. The front seat cushion was recovered several years ago, in leather as original. There is a small split in the backrest leather on the upper left corner. It is fitted with a rubber mat in front, original, in good condition. The upholstery in the rear is all original. It does show some fading but no rips or tears. The carpet is also original and shows some light staining but minimal wear. Trunk lining is all complete, some minor staining but no rips or tears. The big straight-8 starts easily and runs very nicely. Good oil pressure, no smoke and no nasty noises. The Fluid Drive works just as advertised; shifts promptly and no leaks. The engine compartment is very original; I think the engine was repainted some years ago in the original silver but there has been no other cosmetic work done. The radiator was re-cored several years ago, at great expense, so it runs cool at all times. Equipment includes a push-button radio (vibrator noise but no reception), Deluxe heater/defroster, front and rear compartment clocks, Rear compartment chauffeur buzzer, back-up light, parking brake warning lamp, fog lamps, outside rear view mirror, stainless wheel trim rings, white wall tires, Directional signals, Center bumper guard and locking gas cap. Hydro-electric Power Windows, including the divider, are all working. For the past 19 years this Classic has been owned by a close friend. He passed away last January and we are selling it for his wife. They toured with the car regularly and put about 8,000 miles on the car during that time. It has been reliable and comfortable with plenty of luggage space for long-distance tours.

Fiat GIF-based ads make our heads spin
Tue, 17 Jun 2014Take a good, long look at the image above. Don't worry, it's completely real; you're not hallucinating. Would you believe that's an actual screencap from an actual ad commissioned by Fiat that's airing on actual television? Believe it.
The commercials started as a series of animated GIFs from The Richards Group for Fiat's Tumblr page, according to Adweek. Chrysler's Chief Marketing Officer reportedly liked them enough that he had them cut into ads for TV. The result is a combination of Internet meme heaven that includes the above horse mask and "Deal with it," animation, experimental filmmaking, cats, a person in a bunny suit twerking on a Fiat 500 and more general bizarreness.
Whatever your opinion on them, you have to admit that the advertising is certainly attention grabbing. Imagine looking up at the TV form your tablet to catch a glimpse of this weirdness. If you don't like them, Fiat is even giving people the chance to do a better job. Its Tumblr is open to submissions of new GIFs, which could lead to some very inappropriate and potentially hilarious results given the way that the Internet often works.
Chrysler reports $166M net income for Q1, down $307M vs. 2012
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Preliminary first-quarter results from 2013 have been announced by Chrysler, and the company is reporting a net income of $166 million on revenue of $15.4 billion. Compared to this period last year, net income is down $307 million and revenue has dropped $1 billion.
Chrysler says that its quarter was negatively affected by the costs associated with launching its 2013 Ram Heavy Duty, 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and preparation for the return of the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee pictured above. The launches should provide a strong second half of 2013, says the automaker. "We remain on track to achieve our business targets, even as the first-quarter results were affected by an aggressive product launch schedule," said Chrysler Group LLC Chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne.
On a positive note, the automaker says worldwide vehicle sales are up 8 percent from one year ago, a number pushed by a 12 percent bump in U.S. retail sales. In addition, domestic market share has risen slightly, up to 11.4 percent from 11.2 percent last year. Read more in the official statement below.
Former Treasury boss unaware auto task force fired GM's Wagoner
Wed, 14 May 2014We dig a good political tell-all every once in a while (how else will we get our political fix while waiting for House of Cards' third season?). Today, we get just that from former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's new book, "Stress Test," which details, among other parts of the 2009 financial catastrophe, the structured bankruptcy that allowed Chrysler and General Motors to emerge as competitive players in the auto industry.
In the book, which is nicely recapped by The Detroit News, Geithner discusses the firing of GM CEO Rick Wagoner while explaining how much trust he had in the auto industry task force that executed the move without his knowledge.
Auto Czar Steve Rattner "didn't even consult me before he fired General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner; if anything, that move increased my confidence in Team Auto," Geithner wrote.
