Newton, Iowa, United States

1965 Imperial Crown Convertible in excellent running and driving condition, rebuilt 440 engine and torqueflite transmission, nice paint and power top, factory air conditioning converted to R134A, power windows (including power vent windows), very comfortable power seats with new, exact reproduction leather upholstery, factory AM/FM signal-seeking radio with working power antenna, "Auto Pilot" cruise control (not working), remote mirror control, remote trunk release, both soft and "parade" top boots, rebuilt suspension. All lights, signal, gages, speedometer, odometer/trip odometer work properly. It's a real joy to drive, as it has plenty of power, shifts smoothly, steers easily and straight down the road, with no squeaks, rattles or groans. It's a rare classic car that you can still drive confidently and comfortably in freeway traffic.

This is a two-owner car that's been in central Iowa its whole life. I'm listing this for my brother-in-law, who has owned the car since 2000.  I was with him when we found the car and he purchased from the original owner, and I've been very familiar with the car over the years.  He knows he invested way more money in the car than he will ever recover, but that's not why he bought, owned and enjoyed the Imperial.  He's just at the point in his life where it's time to sell.


Here are some additional pictures from 2001, prior to the current paint job and new leather upholstery. 

 I've also made a video tour of the car here:

Ford and Chrysler reducing summer plant shutdowns

Wed, 22 May 2013

Most domestic automaker assembly plants traditionally take a couple of weeks off during the summer. The shutdowns give each plant time for much needed repairs and maintenance, and in some cases, help better align production with demand. Not this year, though, as demand for many models is outstripping what Ford, Chrysler and General Motors plants can produce.
Ford has announced that it will shorten its annual summer shutdown for most North American plants from two weeks to one. The shorter shutdown will increase the carmaker's annual North American production by 40,000 units on top of the 200,000 extra units that it was already planning to produce this year versus last. Automotive News reports that Ford produced 2.8 million vehicles on this continent in 2012, and that output this year has already increased 13 percent through April.
Chrysler, meanwhile, is also operating at full tilt and plans to run some plants through the summer with no shutdown at all. Those not getting a break include Jefferson North where the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango are assembled, Toledo North that will assemble the new Cherokee, and Conner Avenue, home of SRT Viper production. Other assembly plants will be down for a single week, while all of Chrysler's engine and transmission plants except one in Indiana will continue operating with no shutdown this summer.

Chrysler launches new Ram ads and gears up for Super Bowl XLV [w/videos]

Tue, 09 Oct 2012

Perhaps no car company has made bigger splashes in the last two years at the Super Bowl than Chrysler, and the automaker's marketing chief, Olivier Francois, said today that he plans to be all over the big game again in February.
Last year, the company made an ad featuring Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood. The spot achieved viral status quickly when pundits charged that Eastwood's lines were politically motivated; meant to appeal to progressive voters/viewers favoring a second term for President Obama. In 2011, agency Wieden & Kennedy burst into the game with a now famous commercial featuring Eminem. Both ads have supported Chrysler's "Imported from Detroit" marketing platform.
Francois briefed reporters Monday at the Detroit Opera House while he also debuted a new series of ads for the Ram brand.

Chrysler releases Born Maker ad campaign for 2015 200 [w/video]

Fri, 06 Jun 2014



"The 200 sets the benchmark, for us, on how we plan to develop cars going forward." - Marissa Hunter
Is the 2015 Chrysler 200 the most important new product for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles? While it is certainly debatable, we'd be strongly inclined to say "yes." As the first competent midsize sedan that Chrysler has released in the better part of two decades, the new 200 is absolutely crucial to achieving the brand's goal of becoming FCA's "mainstream" manufacturer.
