Extremely rare 1961 Chrysler Imperial Crown Coupe.  Car is originally from California and has a very nice body.  There is some minor surface rust and some rust in the floors and trunk that is substantial.  The frame is good and the body is good except for the bottom of the front passenger side fender is rusted at the bottom and there is rust through at the very bottom of the passenger side rear quarter panel.  I don't believe any of the panels need replacing, just small patches.  Still, it's a 52 year old car so look at the pictures and use your own judgment.  The car was nearly complete when I got it and I tracked down two additional tail lights because one was broken and a replacement drivers side door handle because it was broken as well.  I believe the ONLY part you need to chase is a new passenger side door window glass.  I'm already looking for one.  This car is an oustanding builder for an amazing custom hot rod project. The huge fins, floating headlights and tail lights, and the cool dash and steering wheel are all crazy cool right from the factory.  There are few of these cars left and finding one complete and with a good body is no small achievement.

The interior is fairly thrashed but complete with all door panels and seats. The front seat is power as are the windows..  The dash is decent with only two small cracks.  All glass is good except for the passenger side door window glass.  This is good news because windshields and rear windows sell for $500-1000 each apparently.  You won't need them for this car.   The original 413 is disassembled and in boxes.  It will not run.  The car rolls and steers and the tires hold air.  I will gladly work with international bidders as most finned cars I sell tend to go to Australia or Sweden anyway.  Just don't waste our time with fake Nigerian money orders and stupid stuff like that.   
I'm only listing this car one time because I have no real desire to sell it but I'm working on a giant flying saucer that is getting completely out of hand so if I can fund the next stage of that, great.  If not, I'll keep making other money to fund it.  So if you want this car, act now because it won't be available again. .
THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY TO BUY A CAR.  ONE THAT IS COMPLETE, ARROW STRAIGHT AND HAS NEVER BEEN RESTORED OR HIDING THINGS.  WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS CAR, YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU HAVE AND EVERYTHING IS THERE.

Waymo picks Detroit factory to build self-driving fleet by mid-2019

Tue, Apr 23 2019

SAN FRANCISCO — Alphabet Inc's Waymo said on Tuesday it had chosen a factory in Detroit to mass produce self-driving cars, looking to the historical heart of the auto industry to build the vehicles of the future. The company's chief executive, John Krafcik, said in a blog post that Waymo would partner with American Axle & Manufacturing to lease and repurpose an existing Detroit facility that will be operational by mid-2019. The facility belongs to American Axle, next to the GM Hamtramck facility that is at risk of being shuttered, and is across the Detroit River from Windsor, where the Chrysler Pacificas that Waymo uses are built. Presumably Waymo will do the self-driving fitment of Pacificas at the new facility. Waymo said in January it had chosen Michigan for its first production facility, adding it would receive incentives from the public-private partnership agency, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, and create up to 400 jobs over time exclusively related to self-driving. Krafcik said in his blog post Tuesday that it's the "perfect facility," with up to 200,000 square feet to expand into. He said Waymo will hire the region's auto manufacturing talent. Waymo plans to buy 62,000 Pacificas and 20,000 Jaguars and convert them for autonomous driving. By 2022, it intends to conduct about 1 million trips per day. In a sea of rivals, Waymo is generally thought of as far ahead in the self-driving race. It already operates a robotaxi service in Arizona that it plans to expand geographically over time. Global automakers, large technology companies and startups are all engaged in self-driving efforts, but experts expect it will be years before systems are ready to be rolled out in all areas, with software and regulations among the many challenges. Waymo is competing with rivals General Motors and Uber Technologies to deploy such vehicles for the masses. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has also announced the company plans to launch a robotaxi service in 2020. Waymo, which has been working on self-driving technology for a decade, provided few new details. American Axle, with which Waymo is partnering for its Detroit facility, was formed in 1994 when an investment team purchased five plants that General Motors had put up for sale. GM plans to end output at its last Detroit factory next year, after announcing in November a plan to halt production at five North American assembly plants and cut about 15,000 jobs.

Woman who gives birth on video in moving car gets another surprise

Wed, Sep 12 2018

A mother of (now) five gave birth on video in her minivan on the way to the hospital last week, and she was just gifted a brand new Chrysler Pacifica minivan by none other than Jimmy Kimmel. He brought the now viral family live on air to talk about the crazy experience. The birth video is stunning, scary, but hilarious too once you realize who all is in the car. Alexis Swinney, the mother, was reportedly only minutes away from the hospital when the baby just couldn't wait any longer. Swinney's husband filmed the entire thing while driving (not recommended) on the way to the hospital. Kimmel echoed our thoughts on this exactly, "The whole time I'm watching, I'm thinking put the camera down and drive the car!" As she gives birth, he swivels the camera back to their other children in the rear seat with shocked looks on their faces — they just witnessed their mother giving birth to their new sister. Obviously the car was a complete mess after giving birth, so Kimmel did the best he could to help them out. "We were concerned that things might not be clean in the car anymore, so we called our friends at Chrysler ... so we're upgrading you. Go ahead, go in there, have a couple more kids," Kimmel said. This story transitioned from scary to unbelievable, and finally, incredibly heartwarming. The family can now pack all of their kids into the wonderful children transporting machine that the Pacifica is.Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Catching up with Chrysler's EV catch-up plan

Tue, Sep 16 2014

At your home or office? Those are the key words for how Chrysler and its Fiat affiliate want to narrow the plug-in vehicle sales gap between themselves and more plug-in-centric companies like Nissan and Ford, according Wards Auto. When the gap will narrow is anyone's guess. The US automaker, long a laggard in electric-powertrain development, is working on an wireless, inductive charging system with Qualcomm and which could spur sales of plug-in vehicles for personal use. A wireless system would allow for hands-free charging for vehicles like the Fiat 500e, the company's only plug-in vehicle being sold to the public in the US as well as a plug-in hybrid minivan that's in the works for 2016. On the business front, Chrysler is working with nonprofit NextEnergy on developing a reverse-power-flow system. That would allow for fleet-owning businesses to draw power from their plug-in vehicles' batteries during mid-day peak-energy times, when electricity rates are highest. Chrysler and NextEnergy ran a one-month test of a reverse-power-flow system with four Fiat 500e vehicles last year, and the companies found that they could cut power usage enough to save $1,200. Chrysler extrapolated those numbers to estimate that such a system with just a dozen plug-in vehicles could save a company as much as $27,000 a year. Get more details over at Wards Auto.
