Up for auction is a VERY CLEAN ORIGINAL 1972 Chrysler Imperial with approximately 24,700 DOCUMENTED miles. This vehicle has original paint, body panels, engine, transmission and interior. The vehicle has also won numerous awards for its category including "Best in Class" in 2007 & "First Place" in 2011. Interior is pristine with no stains, tears, blemishes on the seats or dashboard. Carpet is like new with no rips or tears. Headlight motors work flawlessly as well as the power antenna. This vehicle has always been stored in a garage and I always followed "winter storage" guidelines. Raised the wheels off the ground to protect the tires, changed the oil and antifreeze before AND after winter storage as well as covered with custom car cover during storage. All power windows and locks work great with the exception of the passenger side rear window. It works fine but moves a little slower than the other windows. The "Air Temp" system (otherwise known as automatic climate control) has been disassembled due to manufacturer problems of that era. I have all the parts available including the servo, there are aftermarket companies that will exchange parts for working materials if buyer desires to fix. However everything else in the "Air Temp" system is fully functional including the compressor. When I purchased the vehicle in 2005 I installed new brakes on all four wheels, new OEM radiator with all new hoses and OEM Fuel Tank. Both the carburetor was rebuilt and new dual exhaust was installed to factory specifications from header to rear. Tires are new with less than 1,000 miles on them. With the vehicle comes an extra set of tires mounted on Chrysler Imperial rims used for winter storage.
Pictures will show only one minor scratch on the vehicle located on the right rear quarter panel. Vinyl roof in great shape with the exception of a very small (approx. 1") flaw where it has slipped out from trim piece.
This car runs very well, is fun to drive and has an extremely smooth ride. Really captures the looks from passer by. Vehicle weighs approximately 5,000 lbs., is about 18-19 feet in length and about 6.5 feet wide. Along with the purchase comes numerous extra original equipment trim pieces & tail lights. Thank you looking!

Chrysler 200 subtitles performance in latest round of advertising
Mon, 27 Oct 2014Every once in a while, we come across a car video narrated in a foreign language and subtitled in English. They usually center on foreign-made automobiles, but this latest series of videos comes straight from Detroit.
Airing for the first time during's NFL broadcasts, these four commercials for the 2015 Chrysler 200 were produced by Wieden + Kennedy Portland - the same advertising firm that created the now-legendary Eminem spot for the last-generation 200.
Each clip in the "Ready to Take on the World" campaign highlights a different aspect of the American sedan and is narrated in Japanese, German or Swedish - each with English subtitles - associating the 200's Japanese level of quality, German performance and Swedish safety standards. But while the clips are ostensibly set in Japan, Germany and Sweden, Automotive News reports that they were actually filmed at home in the US.
What will the next Presidential limo look like?
Thu, 25 Jul 2013With recent news that the Secret Service has begun soliciting proposals for a new armored limousine, we've been wondering what the next presidential limo might look like. The current machine, nicknamed "The Beast", has a design based on a car that's no longer sold: the Cadillac DTS. If General Motors gets the job again, which wouldn't be a surprise considering the government still owns a chunk of the company, the next limo's shape would likely resemble the new XTS (below, left). But Cadillac hasn't always been the go-to car company for presidential whips.
Lincoln has actually provided far more presidential limousines throughout history than Cadillac. In fact, the first car modified for Commander-in-Chief-carrying duty was a 1939 Lincoln K-Series called "Sunshine Special" used by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the last Lincoln used by a president was a 1989 Town Car ordered for George H.W. Bush. If President Obama wanted a Lincoln today, it would likely be an amalgam of the MKS sedan and MKT crossover, as illustrated above.
And what about Chrysler? The only record we could find of a President favoring the Pentastar is Nixon, who reportedly ordered two limos from the company during his administration in the '70s, and then another one, known today as the "K-Car limo," in the '80s after he left office. Obama, however, has a personal - if modest - connection to Chryslers, having owned a 300 himself before he took office. A 300-based Beast (above, right) would certainly earn the U.S. some style points.
Chrysler nets $1.6B income in Q4, Fiat profit up 5%
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Chrysler announced its 2013 financial results today and unveiled its new name and decidedly bank-like logo. Amid the announcement, Chrysler posted big gains in income, while Fiat didn't perform to analysts' expectations.

In terms of unit sales, Chrysler sold 2.4 million cars worldwide in 2013, up 9 percent. According to Automotive News, 1.8 million of those vehicles were sold in the US, a 14-percent increase. The sales growth boosted Chrysler's US market share to 11.4 percent, up 0.2 percent.
