This car was built by Richard Zocchi of California. This 1956 Chrysler has been in many magazines including the cover of Rod N Custom and Custom Rodder. The two toned Metallic Tiffany's Turquoise and pearl paint applied by Art Himsl and it is very custom and well done. It has won best paint, best custom and best interior at the Oakland Roadster Show. It has many body modifications including the chopped top, custom headlights, bumpers and many more. The front grille was reshaped with round tubing and trimmed with the original stainless. The stock grille bars float in the opening, recessed 1.5 inches. The stock Chrysler rear tail light lenses sit in a molded housing made from round tubing that gives them a frenched appearance as they say.

This Chrysler has air shocks ride with custom wire wheels and radial whitewalls. The interior nicely complements the car. It has 36,000-mile original V-8, 331 cubic-inch FirePower stock engine. With push button automatic transmission, power steering and brakes and air conditioning. It has been said that when Richard Zocchi sets his mind to designing a new custom, he will wage war with the sheet-metal until the battle's won.

The bumper was lowered 1 1/2 ’ inches and the stone guard was molded into the front sheet-metal to flow with the new bumper positioning and the wheel-well openings. This little trick creates the impression that the coupe is lowered more than it is. The bumper was shaved and tucked to the body, giving the installation a clean and finished look. The lower edge of the rocker line was dropped with the addition of ’58 Thunderbird rocker panels, which turn the rocker line out. This combination of the lowered front bumper and the new lower rockers gives the car a dropped look without slamming the suspension.

Other bodywork detailing includes a rounded hood, rounded door and trunk lid corners, and shaved door handles and trim. The rear was equally reworked with a '50 Cadillac bumper molded, filled. and rechromed bv Sherm's Custom Plating in Sacramento, California. The finishing work and pre-paint detailing were handled by Logan Davis at Sahagon's. The paint work was performed by "The Gun Master of the East Bay." Art Himsl, himself. Once the paint was dry, the Chrysler went back over to Jerry Sahagon's shop for a complete interior makeover. To get the interior trimming just right. Jerry was assisted by Ken Whistler and Jeff Morelli. They crafted four handmade bucket seat frames with a built-in stainless-steel beverage box in the console. All of the surfaces were then covered in dark- and light-toned Aqua Naugahyde and tweed, with body color filling in the metal spaces. The overall effect is mono-toned but snappy looking.

The original stock Chrysler hides under the hood. The suspension is reset with C'ed frame-rails and lowered leaf springs at the rear, and modified A-arms and dropped spindles up front. Bill and Tom Fraser at Antioch Muffler in Antioch, California, performed this work. Optional Kelsey/Hayes wire wheels was adapted to use'61 Thunderbird centers with chrome bullets. They were capped with Remington G78-1-5 whitewalls for the perfect look. The Chrysler is a beauty from every direction.

The 1956 Chrysler is described, as "Powerstyle." with their long, crisp lines and exaggerated fins that today are considered classic works of automotive art. It takes about $100K to do a car like this, but you'll need to right team to do it as well. It took about 2 years to finish.

As cool as it gets, gets thumbs up everywhere you go.

FB Tuning debuts 400-hp carbon-bodied Chrysler Crossfire in Monaco

Wed, 30 Apr 2014

The Chrysler Crossfire was, suffice it to say, a matter of taste. Based on old Mercedes-Benz mechanicals, it included retro styling accents and an armadillo roofline. Some loved it, but there was clearly room for improvement - not to mention more sales - and that's just what Italian coachbuilder FB Tuning had to showcase at the Top Marques show in Monaco this year.
Called the FB-ONE, it's based on the Crossfire, which itself was based on the same R170 chassis as the first-generation Mercedes-Benz SLK. It packs the same 3.2-liter V6 as well, which FB claims to have tuned farther than anything Daimler-Chrysler ever managed with the same engine. Whereas the SLK32 AMG packed 354 horsepower and the Crossfire SRT-6 offered 330, the FB-One packs a nice, round 400 hp, which ought to be good for a 0-60 time of little over four seconds.
As you can see, that's not all they've done with FB-One. It's also been rebodied in carbon fiber, with gold accents, deep-dish alloys that look like they came out of a casino and the headlights from an Audi A8. Whether the result is your cup of tea likely depends, as it did with the Crossfire in the first place, on your own personal tastes, so check it out for yourself in the video below.

Chrysler's completely redesigned 200 caught totally uncovered

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

Preparing for a big debut at the Detroit Auto Show next month, the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200 was out for a late-night photo shoot fully undisguised, and our spy shooters were there to capture its all-new design completely uncovered. While there's no camouflage, the cover of darkness proved to be almost as effective, but we still get a good idea of what this former sore spot in the brand's lineup will look like after its clean-sheet redesign.
The first thing we notice is the stylish four-door-coupe roofline doing its best to impersonate something like the Audi A7, or maybe the Volkswagen CC. The front-end styling is a departure from recent Chrysler designs with narrow headlights and an equally short, chrome-trimmed grille. In profile, the bullet-nosed 200 is somewhat reminiscent of the Tesla Model S. This new design language should definitely help the 200 get noticed in a segment filled with hot sellers like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, as well as more stylish offerings like the Ford Fusion and Mazda6.
Our spies also caught up with the 200 testing in daylight and got some good shots of the interior. The instrument panel design looks similar to what is found in the Dodge Dart, including the oversized instrument gauges and possibly even the LED accent lighting. We would have to assume - and hope - this prototype is a test model due to its small touchscreen display, as Chrysler's 8.4-inch screen would look much better in its place. The center stack and console are clean with minimal buttons and knobs, but we do see a rotary gear selector, which may confirm reports from last year that suggested the 200 will use a nine-speed automatic transmission to help hit 38 miles per gallon on the highway.

Bob Dylan to star in Chrysler Super Bowl spot [w/videos]

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Billboard reports that Bob Dylan will be working with Chrysler again, this time starring in a Super Bowl ad expected to showcase the company's new 200 sedan. The rock icon first tied up with the Chrysler Group late last year when a commercial for the new 2014 Jeep Cherokee used Dylan's unreleased cover of Blind Willie Johnson's "Motherless Children" for its soundtrack.
The last big-game commercial for the 200 used Eminem in 2011 to introduce us to the outgoing 200 and the tagline-turned-mini-movement, "Imported from Detroit." Since then, Clint Eastwood, Berry Gordy, Jr., and America's farmers have taken turns impressing us with Chrysler Group's wares. It isn't yet known what song will be used for the spot. Speaking of the coming ad, company CEO Sergio Marchionne said, "Someone made the comment to me that I had the right commercial in 2011 and the wrong car. I think we now have hopefully the right commercial and the right car."
It's not Dylan's first outing with a carmaker, having starred in a spot to promote the Cadillac Escalade in 2007. Nor will it be the only Dylan music we get during the Super Bowl, the singer having licensed a track that's used in a one-minute commercial for Chobani Greek yogurt.
