1953 Chrysler Custom Crown Imperial. Only 823 of these we're made in 1953. Story is the man bought it new and only drove it around town for a couple years then he passed away. After that his wife let it sit in the garage for 30 years. Then it went to a body shop in the 90s to get restored and the shop closed down and the car sat there for 10 more years. They took off some front trim and started doing bodywork I have all front trim and door panels in trunk. All side window and back trim is still on the car. Even vent window visors and crown emblems. Dash is beautiful has all knobs working and steering wheel is in very good condition, not much wear or tear that's why I truly believe this is a 9k mile car, it even has factory "OK" stamps still on the firewall. It's a true time capsule it came with a issue of popular mechanics from feb 1953 witch I will include with the car. Original wire wheels and a spare. HEMI engine, "fire power" and it's all there even the wiring. Power windows, power locks, power brakes, power steering and first year for ac! This was a luxury car in its day. The unfortunate thing is when it was at the body shop over those years it sat outside and all the interior turned to a crisp the dash pad is cracked and seats are falling apart. Everything is there, just has to be upholstered. Also from sitting outside the rocker panels went bad. The floor is solid and around the windows is nice as well. Even the drip rails over the windows are clean with no rust at all. Only on the outer rocker panels. Truly a beautiful and unique car. I had a hard time even finding any online. Also someone told me it was a special order with some add ons that didn't come factory. These cars are very rare and go for 35-40k when restored. Any questions please let me know. John 626 222 3093

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name
Thu, 07 Aug 2014
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
Chrysler minivans under investigation for stalling after fuel refill
Wed, 10 Sep 2014According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, at least one man has reported that his 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan stalled unexpectedly on the highway shortly after being refueled. The unidentified man who contacted NHTSA regarding the issue cited as many as eight similar instances reported by other drivers.
NHTSA has announced that it will launch an inquiry into this issue, which could affect as many as 160,000 minivans from Dodge and Chrysler that were sold in 2007 (or more, if a problem is found that extends to additional models years, we'd assume). As of yet, there's no formal investigation, let alone a recall, on these vans, as the agency is merely determining if further action is needed.
Two months ago, Chrysler recalled nearly 700,000 vehicles, the majority of which were minivans, from the 2008-2010 model years to replace ignition switches after an investigation found that their weak springs and detent positions could fool a driver into thinking the car was in the "Run" position, when it's actually in the "Accessory" position.
