1957 CHRYSLER IMPERIAL CROWN TWO-DOOR HARDTOP WITH FACTORY HEMI Here is a very rare find, and with interesting historical papers showing the car registered to the Mexican Presidents home (Los Pinos) in 1958. This is a 1957 Chrysler Imperial Crown South Hampton Edition. The car runs and drives and still has its original 392 Hemi “Fire Power” motor and push button transmission. The car came with Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Windows, Power Seat etc. No Air Conditioning. All the glass is good, the power windows kinda work, but very slowly. Wipers work, can’t get headlights to come-on. The original radio is there but does not function. The speedometer works and mileage reads 93,XXX. A few gauges work...a few don’t. The body of the car is really nice over all...I have found no signs of Bondo. The original floors, and trunk pan are intact and solid. The car has minor rust issues as in bubbles under the paint in a few areas. The brakes stop the car but currently the car pulls a bit. It looks like the passenger front brake wheel cylinder is leaking. The interior was redone at some point, its presentable, The carpet is old, and it could use a new headliner. The chrome on the car is good to poor condition. The car is like 52 years old. The front bumper should be re chromed. Missing one small piece of trim over a headlight. The original paint color was Gun Metal Gray. I saw some pictures of it and it looked smashing. If you have questions, I have answers...please call Houston Wills at 210-548-1310. The car comes with a clear Texas title and a file of old documents going back to 1957. PAYMENT AND STORAGE

Former Treasury boss unaware auto task force fired GM's Wagoner
Wed, 14 May 2014We dig a good political tell-all every once in a while (how else will we get our political fix while waiting for House of Cards' third season?). Today, we get just that from former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's new book, "Stress Test," which details, among other parts of the 2009 financial catastrophe, the structured bankruptcy that allowed Chrysler and General Motors to emerge as competitive players in the auto industry.
In the book, which is nicely recapped by The Detroit News, Geithner discusses the firing of GM CEO Rick Wagoner while explaining how much trust he had in the auto industry task force that executed the move without his knowledge.
Auto Czar Steve Rattner "didn't even consult me before he fired General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner; if anything, that move increased my confidence in Team Auto," Geithner wrote.
Dodge Challenger spied exercising supercharged Hellcat Hemi V8
Wed, 23 Oct 2013One of the prime complaints against the Dodge Challenger is that, even in SRT8 guise, its 470 horsepower is responsible for hauling over 4,200 pounds of vehicle. For comparison, the 420 hp in the Ford Mustang GT only has to deal with 3,618 lbs. Things only get worse from there, as the higher-performance variants of both the Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro are far more powerful than an SRT8 without adding on much heft.
So what is Chrysler to do? The correct answer is add a whole lot more grunt to its hefty two-door and even the odds. That's where the all-new Hellcat engine comes into play. We reported on this engine in May, and suggested that the Hellcat, a supercharged powerplant based on a 6.4-liter V8, would easily generate 500 to 570 hp and could likely arrive boasting more than 600 ponies.
Chrysler's ace in its sleeve has now been spied testing, with a number of Hellcat-equipped Challengers running the potent new engine both in more urbanized areas and under the sun of Death Valley. The hoods on these testers have been raised to accommodate the engine, and that camouflage over the fascias of these prototypes is there to hide a larger air intake. We also note what appears to be a new split grille under wraps. As for power output, our spies are now suggesting a Viper-equalling 640 hp from the Hellcat-equipped cars.
