Peoria, Illinois, United States

 Up for sale is a super solid 1948 Chrysler New Yorker with no reserve. Don't let the paint job  on this one fool you there is a beautiful car under there! This car is in amazingly solid shape for its age.  The frame and all the sheet metal is in really solid condition. The floors, doors, fenders, and door jambs are in really great original condition.

For a restoration project this car is ahead of the game with a lot of work already done. This car only needs light mechanical work, interior and paint and chrome. I have receipts totaling around $3000.00 with the car. The motor was professionally rebuilt. Some new brake lines, brake shoes, and all new wheel cylinders have been professionally installed. The  rims were sand blasted and primed. New high quality period tires were fitted and are in great like new condition still. The car was on the road running and driving a couple years ago. The brake work has been done but there is no fluid in them now, they need to be bled and checked but should be no major work. The car does run and drive but is a little stubborn to start. I think it needs a carburetor tune up or rebuild. There is a slight hesitation in throttle but only due to the carb. The motor runs great and transmission works. It might need slight adjusting and lubricating on transmission linkage. Car comes with new battery and new coil installed.


No warranty is expressed or implied with the sale of this 1948 Chrysler New Yorker

Car is sold as is with a clean title and bill of sale.

Chrysler patents smarter minivan folding seats

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

It's frightening to think of how quickly the mice would have overtaken us if we hadn't stayed one step ahead of them with better mousetraps. We'll never have to worry about that in our relentlessly re-engineered world, though. Case in point: Chrysler has been granted a patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office for an improved design of the already wondrous Stow 'n' Go seating found in the automaker's Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans.
Introduced in 2005, the Stow 'n' Go was improved in 2008, and based on the drawings of this third-generation improvement, the new design appears to allow stowage of the second row of seats without having to move the front-row seats forward as much. It look like it also involves fewer operations and moving parts, with a portion of the seatback being incorporated into the flat floor when the seats are stowed, as opposed to having a completely separate cover.
It's possible that the innovation may appear on the next-generation minivans expected in 2015, but Chrysler isn't commenting on the patent.

2015 Chrysler 200 gets 36 mpg with Tigershark four-cylinder

Thu, 27 Mar 2014

Chrysler has come out with the official fuel economy information on the new 200 following the info that was leaked from the EPA earlier this week. It turns out that our initial report of 18 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway for the all-wheel-drive V6 was correct.
What we didn't know at the time, though, was what sort of economy the 200's other powertrain options managed. Outfitted with the 2.4-liter four-pot, Chrysler is promising 23 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway, with a combined rating of 28 mpg. Those figures are fairly impressive; besting figures of the 2.5-liter Ford Fusion and tying the 1.5-liter, EcoBoost, non-start-stop model. It's also beats the four-cylinder Toyota Camry's 35-mpg highway figure while tying its combined efficiency.
Stepping up to the 295-horsepower Pentastar V6 pushes the economy down to 19 mpg in the city, while the highway figure is a respectable 32 mpg for the front-driver. The combined rating for the FWD V6 is 23 mpg. Those figures can't quite match the 270-horsepower 2.0-liter, EcoBoost four of the Fusion, which nets 22 city and 33 highway. In fact, the V6 200 has trouble besting even the 3.5-liter V6 of the Camry, which returns 21 mpg city and 31 mpg highway. Again, though, the 200 is noticeably more powerful.

Ram confirms Fiat Ducato vans to form new Promaster series for US

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

Chrysler has officially confirmed that Ram will develop an all-new large van for the US market based on the Fiat Ducato. The commercial rig will go on sale in the third quarter of next year, joining the Ram C/V on the company's professional van line. Expect to see the Promaster face off against the Ford Transit and revised Chevrolet Express.
Chrysler is pretty skimpy on details when it comes to the Promaster, but it has said the vehicle will make use of "familiar Ram Truck styling cues." The van will reportedly also bow with powertrains targeted specifically at the North American market.
Chrysler and Ram made the announcement ahead of the LA Auto Show alongside news that the company will launch a new Ram commercial truck division.
