1950 Chrysler Imperial. In good condition with all systems in good working order. All gauges, radio, power windows power brakes, built in back up lights work as they should.
A brief history of the car.
1951-1975
Was originally purchased in Inianapolis by the owner of Capitol Glass Company, Ralph Reibeling on 3-22-1951. The original owner kept very good servicing records. For the first 7 years he took it in to the Chrysler Agency every month for servicing. Even after he purchased another vehicle for his main car, he still took it to the dealer for transmission rebuilding.
1975-1999
The second owner rarely drove the car but had the engine overhauled when the head gasket failed and leaked coolant into the cylinders(12,000 miles back). Sometime during this ownership the car was repainted. In 1986 the car was used in the movie "Hoosier's" with Gene Hackman.
1999-2007
The 3rd owner did little more than keep it in dry storage and roadworthy. In their 8 years of ownership it was driven less than 4,000 miles.
2007-
I purchased the car from the 3rd owner in Wolcottville, Indiana.
The car is all original except for the repaint from between 25 and 35 years ago and the front seat cushion and the package tray was recovered in matching original type wool broadcloth. It has had the oil pan removed, cleaned and replaced with fresh gaskets. The fuel pump and water pump have been replaced. The relays in each door for the power windows have been cleaned and serviced for worry free operation of the power windows(fully electric power windows, an industry first). It has the Prestomatic 4 speed fluid drive "Tip Toe" automatic transmission that has never given any trouble and is effortless to drive.
The electrical system is the original 6 volt system with original bulls eye headlights, electric wipers.
This car is ready to be driven anywhere. We have used the car for car club tours(both AACA and CCCA). It has just had a though inspection and is ready for spring.
Please no scammers or international sales. No texts or emails so please call 785...231...7125 if you have any questions.

Ram helps power Chrysler to 11% gain in May
Mon, 03 Jun 2013Increasing consumer demand for Ram pickup trucks and big SUVs has helped to boost May sales for Chrysler. Ram sales were up a total of 24 percent year-over-year for the month of May. In addition, Dodge sales increased by 23 percent in May, with the standout Durango clocking a 24-percent year-over-year improvement (with an updated 2014 model in the wings, incentives are thick on the ground for 2013 inventory). Fiat and Jeep were up only a modest one percent, however, and Chrysler brand sales were down by two percent against last year's figures.
Chrysler is quite pleased overall with brand performance, saying that this May marks the company's strongest in the past six years. It was also the 38th consecutive month showing year-over-year sales gains.
Eight of the automaker's vehicles set sales records for May, as well: Jeep Wrangler and Compass, Dodge Avenger and Challenger, Fiat 500, Chrysler 200 and Ram pickups. Scroll down to read more detail in Chrysler's press release.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years
Tue, 06 May 2014Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.

Share price falls on skepticism of Chrysler-Fiat five-year plan
Thu, 08 May 2014Following this week's Fiat Chrysler extravaganza, where the Italian-American manufacturer announced its plans for the next five years, the Autoblog staff was cautiously optimistic of the company's future. Investors? Not so much.
Fiat saw its shares tumble 12 percent in Wednesday's trading, falling from 8.67 euros ($12.06 at today's rates) to 7.44 euros ($10.35) as of this writing, with blame partly going to the Italian half of the FCA marriage, which recorded a pretty significant drop in profits during the first quarter of this year.
The plan, which will cost around $77 billion over the next several years, is facing criticism from investors thanks in part to a 1.4-percent drop in Fiat's first-quarter profits, to 622 million euros ($862 million). That figure is also short of Bloomberg analysts' projections, which predicted $1.18 billion in profits before taxes, interest and one-time items.
