Up for sale is a truly beautiful, rather rare, piece of "Art Deco" automotive history!  1950 Chrysler Windsor Royal Club Coupe. This original survivor is in remarkable condition having travelled only 71,300 miles in the last 64 years.  The car was driven a conservative 43,000 miles up to 1983 by the original owner.  Upon her passing it was passed to her daughter and son inlaw and was given a light face-lift consisting of some mechanical updating and a few paint touch-ups.  The car was used for more than 30 years as a Sunday drive and show car staying with the original family.  All of its life it has been garaged and pampered.  The car has been serviced regularly throughout the years with some oil changes having less than 100 miles driven.  The paint is close to 2/3 original with a few blow ins and touch-ups over the years to keep it pristine. The interior is all original with only the slightest of fading with no rips. The seats have always been covered over with plaid matching blankets front and back.  The door panels are all original also with only light wear on the drivers door.  The carpet is presentable but a recent vacuuming revealed some fraying and a few un-ravels.  ( New carpets have been ordered)  It has the original rubber floor mats with the "Royal" crown on both as with instrument cluster. The headliner, sun visors and arm-rests are original and in fabulous condition.   The rest of the interior is in super condition, also all the chrome, buttons, knobs and handles are all great. The trunk is all original from the jack and tire, right down to the original trunk mat.  The paint, as stated, is mostly original with only a few touch-ups.  There are a few knicks and light scratches that do not show in the photos, but can be seen at 6-12 inches. The undercarriage is almost factory fresh!!  The dealer-applied asphault undercoating is quite dry from so many years in Nevada and California and is easily scraped off.  Under the undercoating it is factory paint with no rust!! Truly remarkable!!  The Chrome is the real tell-tale of pride of ownership.  The chrome is nearly flawless and is super bright and shiney.  The rear bumper was rechromed 20+ years ago for the usual exhaust discoloration and oxidization.  It still looks great!  All of the factory options work!  Radio was overhauled in the 80's and all new tubes put in.  It sounds fabulous!  All gauges work perfectly and are super accurate.  The interior chrome is stunning. The 2-speed electric wipers work great and park when turned off.  The steering wheel has a dozen or so hairline cracks in the acryllic. The rad and heater core were replaced a few years ago as were belts and hoses. The 3 speed dual fans blow hard and hot when required. The brake system was overhauled 2 years ago also as was the fluid-drive transmission.  It is a true Timex. Last summer it drove over 5000 miles on a 3 week family trip at 70 mph.  This past month we drove it 2000 miles on another... 500+ miles were in torrential rains with no issues. Tires are only a few years old and in great shape. The car still has its original headlights.  If you look closely at the center of the lights you will see the focus beam center.  All other light lenses are in outstanding condition with little to no crazing. Original manuals and brochures are with the car.  All systems are in top shape.  I would not hesitate to drive coast to coast!! Registered appraisal of $29,900.00  DOT Safety inspected last week. The car gets rave reviews and thumbs up everywhere we go. While it is not a Concourse vehicle, it has many trophies and accolades. There are another 60 plus photos available for email.  Any questions feel free to call  905-717-2431 I will help with shipping arrangements. There are some spare parts that go with the car. ( Hoses, lines, exhaust, factory original spotlight, wiper blades, car cover and more) The pictures speak for themselves.

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."

Chrysler releases Born Maker ad campaign for 2015 200 [w/video]

Fri, 06 Jun 2014



"The 200 sets the benchmark, for us, on how we plan to develop cars going forward." - Marissa Hunter
Is the 2015 Chrysler 200 the most important new product for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles? While it is certainly debatable, we'd be strongly inclined to say "yes." As the first competent midsize sedan that Chrysler has released in the better part of two decades, the new 200 is absolutely crucial to achieving the brand's goal of becoming FCA's "mainstream" manufacturer.

Dodge to resurrect Scat Pack?

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Before social media ever existed, if automotive enthusiasts wanted to be noticed or recognize other fans, they joined a car club. For Dodge muscle car lovers from 1968 through 1971, that group was known as the Scat Pack. Just like the Charger, Challenger and Dart nameplates, it looks like the Scat Pack could be getting a resurrection by Chrysler.
Automotive News is reporting that Chrysler recently renewed its trademark on the Scat Pack name, and while this is in no way a guarantee that the name will return, AN talked to Tim Kuniskis, Dodge President and CEO, who stoked the fire a little more. In the article, Kuniskis said that the name is "a very important part of our history" and added that "we like the whole idea of having a Scat Pack of cars." Scat Pack models were identified by their bumblebee stripes and helmet-wearing bumblebee logo, and the idea of a modern Scat Pack doesn't seem all that outlandish in light of recent vehicles like the Charger SRT Super Bee and the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Concept.
What do you think, is this a cool idea, or is it just an unwelcome bit of nostalgia? Have you say in Comments.
