1955 Chrysler Imperial Sedan Low Mile A/c Car on 2040-cars
Sacramento, California, United States
1955 CHRYSLER IMPERIAL SEDAN PERHAPS NOT MANY KNOW THAT THE 1955 IMPERIAL SEDAN WAS A ONE YEAR ONLY CAR. CHRYSLER WANTED TO COMPETE WITH FLEETWOOD SO THEY MADE EXTRA LEG ROOM IN THE BACK SEAT COMPARTMENT. THE IDEA DID NOT ATTRACT ENOUGH BUYERS SO JUST A LITTLE OVER 75OO UNITS WERE SOLD. THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH PRODUCTION TO JUSTIFY ANOTHER YEAR SO IN 1956 IMPERIAL USED THE STANDARD NEW YORKER SEDAN WITH AN IMPERIAL FRONT CLIP. THESE BEAUTIFUL CARS WERE ONLY AVAILABLE AT CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH DEALERS NOT EXACTLY THE ENVIRONMENT A LUXURY CAR BUYER WAS LOOKING FOR. AFTER ALL CADILLAC HAD BEAUTIFUL STAND ALONE DEALERSHIPS WITH AMENITIES GALORE TO ATTRACT THE LUXURY BUYER. HAD THIS BUYER PERSISTED, HOWEVER, THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND A BEAUTIFUL VIRGIL EXNER INSPIRED DESIGN WHICH WAS THE FLAGSHIP OF CHRYSLER'S NEW FORWARD LOOK. THE 1955 IMPERIAL MAY BE ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL 50'S SEDANS EVER BUILT FINISHED OFF WITH A NEW GUNSIGHT TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY MOUNTED ON TOP OF THE REAR FENDERS. THE CAR LOOKED IMPORTANT AND INDEED LENT A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE TO CADILLAC AND LINCOLN. QUALITY AND DRIVE TRAIN MADE IMPERIAL A FABULOUS ROAD CAR. A 352 INCH HEMI ENGINE COUPLED WITH CHRYSLER'S FIRST FULLY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS THE BEST IN THE FIELD. OUR CAR IS A LOW MILEAGE ORIGINAL. ALTHOUGH IT ONLY SHOWS SOME 22 K MILES FROM NEW THIS IS NOT DOCUMENTED AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON. HOWEVER, IT WILL BE CLEAR ON CLOSE INSPECTION THAT THIS CAR IS NOT A HIGH MILER EITHER. THE ENTIRE CAR IS EXCELLENT ORIGINAL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE RESPRAY OF THE NEW SPRING YELLOW COLOR AND NEW CORRECT IMPERIAL SEAT UPHOLSTERY. THE CAR IS FITTED WITH FACTORY AIR THAT WORKS AND BLOWS COLD, WIRE WHEELS, DIAMOND BACK RADIAL WHITE WALL TIRES, HEMI ENGINE, POWERFLITE TRANSMISSION, POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, POWER WINDOWS, POWER SEAT, RADIO AND HEATER AND CLOCK. WE BELIEVE THIS COULD BE ONE OF THE NICEST 1955 IMPERIAL SEDANS AVAILABLE IN A STRIKING PERIOD COLOR COMBINATION AND CHRYSLER AIRTEMP AIR CONDITIONING. IT IS PRESENTED IN MARVELOUS ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH RECENT PAINT AND INTERIOR SEAT UPHOLSTERY. |

NHTSA closes book on Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall after all
Mon, 20 Jan 2014After much debating and hand-wringing, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration now says it has "no reservations" with Chrysler's plan to recall certain Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models over concerns that their fuel tanks, which are located behind the rear axle, could rupture or leak in the event of a rear impact. The longstanding argument between the two entities saw Chrysler openly defy the Feds after a request to recall 2.7 million units back in June.
Chrysler's "voluntary campaign" will instead see it recall 1.56-million 1993-2004 model year Grand Cherokee SUVs, along with 2002-2007 Liberty models. Affected vehicles will get a trailer hitch installed free of charge, which Chrysler says will provide an additional degree of protection for the fuel tanks in the event of a crash. Jeeps with Mopar-branded hitches or hitches that were installed at the factory aren't affected by this recall.
Chrysler's argument throughout this battle has been that the Jeeps in question are no more susceptible to fires than comparable vehicles from the same time period, a position that NHTSA has seemingly arrived at as well. "Those vehicles performed at a rate similar to their peers. That is the keystone analysis as to whether something poses an unreasonable risk to safety," said outgoing NHTSA boss David Strickland during an interview with the The Associated Press.
Fiat Chrysler posts $690M Q1 loss
Mon, 12 May 2014If there is one thing that should be remembered when looking at quarterly and annual earnings, it's that the headline numbers rarely tell the whole story when it comes to an automaker's health. Chrysler's first-quarter earnings are just such an example.
Yes, the Auburn Hills-based manufacturer lost $690 million, which is quite a large sum of money. The reasons for the loss, according to Chrysler, were "Unfavorable infrequent items," which includes a $504 million payment to rid itself of the debts it took on for prepaying the UAW's VEBA healthcare trust. Chrysler was also hit with a $672 million charge to the UAW, which was part of a deal that allowed Fiat to purchase the remaining shares of Chrysler owned by the VEBA.
Ignoring those one-time deals, the first quarter was quite a successful one for Chrysler. It would have made $486 million if you erased the merger costs, which would have been a year-over-year increase of $320 million. Even more promising is the fact that Chrysler snagged the largest increase in market share of any automaker during Q1 at 1.1 percent, bringing its overall share to 12.7 percent of the US market. Chrysler saw a 30-percent improvement in sales of trucks and SUVs, along with an 11-percent increase in year-over-year sales and a 23-percent increase in revenue, to $19 billion.
FCA and PSA sign merger agreement
Wed, Dec 18 2019Confirming an earlier rumor, PSA Group and Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) signed a binding merger agreement to create the world's fourth-largest automaker. The partners hope to leverage the benefits of economies of scale as they develop new technologies and expand their global presence. The announcement ends FCA's years-long search for a partner, which nearly ended earlier in 2019 when it came close to merging with Renault, PSA's rival. It brings Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Lancia, Peugeot, Citroen, DS, and Opel/Vauxhall under the same roof. That's a huge portfolio of brands that often overlap, but executives pledged to keep them all open, as well as all their respective factories as a result of the transaction. They're committed to making this big family of automakers work by building on each one's strengths, whether they're technical or regional. FCA and PSA jointly predicted they'll sell about 8.7 million cars annually around the globe, while posting an ˆ11 billion (about $12.2 million) profit. North America, a strong market for FCA, will provide 43% of its revenues, and 46% will be generated in Europe, where Peugeot's brands are doing better than ever. Together, they plan to achieve ˆ3.7 billion (about $4.1 million) in annual run-rate synergies. They'll notably have the purchasing power to negotiate a better price with suppliers, and they'll merge their research and development efforts where it makes sense to do so. Over two thirds of the group's annual volume will be built on two shared platforms. One will underpin about three million small cars annually, and the other will serve as the foundation for approximately three million compact and mid-sized cars. Details about these architectures haven't been made public yet, but a quick look at both companies' product portfolios reveals the small car will very likely come from Peugeot. Recent additions to its range, like the second-generation 208, are built on a new architecture named Common Modular Platform (CMP) developed with electric powertrains in mind. Meanwhile, Fiat is still making the cheeky 500 on an evolution of the platform found under the second-generation Panda released in 2003. The bigger architecture could come from FCA, however. The group's brands will share engines, transmissions, electric powertrains, infotainment systems, various sensors used to power electronic driving aids, and other components like wiring looms, but each one will retain its own identity.
