Texas Classic Cars of Dallas is proud to present this beautiful classic Chrysler Imperial Crown Coupe. A great car in itself, this 1968 Imperial Crown Coupe is much different from the rest. This car was ordered with the Mobile Director package, a feature offered only on 1967 and 68 model year Imperials. The Mobile Director basically served as an informal conference lounge in the Crown Coupe. This example is believed to have been part of a military dignitaries' fleet at some time, due to the custom - fitted, well - fabricated flag stands at all four corners.

This Military Blue Director Crown Imperial is at home during the photo shoot at the Dallas Love Field Frontiers of Flight Museum. Be sure you visit the historic Flight Museum if you find yourself in Dallas, Texas.

The following video is a 1967 Chrysler television advertisement showcasing a Chrysler Imperial Crown Coupe with the Mobile Director package.

From stem to stern, this stately automobile measures at 18 feet, 8.5 inches. It rides on its factory 15-inch wheels wrapped in 3-band-whitewall poly-bias tires all around for a vintage look. The tires are in very good condition. This is a car that can be driven. It steers, stops and handles very nicely.

The exterior is finished in its correct Military Blue metallic paint, showcasing one previous re-paint. The chrome and bright work show very well, with some minor pitting on pot metal I will detail in the photographs. Most of this car's smaller trim is high quality stainless steel. The paint itself shows very well, with a few minor imperfections.

Open the doors to luxury.

The Mobile Director was basically designed for the busy executive who must continue to work while he travels. It also serves as an informal conference lounge in the Crown Coupe. It was offered for only two model years (67,68). Different sources show production numbers at either 71, 81, or 172 for both years combined. This is one very rare car.

The Mobile Director features a reclining-back passenger seat that pivots 180 degrees to face the rear along with several accompanying features.

The folding table pivots to any of four different positions.

There is also a portable Tensor reading lamp that conveniently plugs into any of four cigar lighter sockets. The table, supported by a sturdy chrome-plated pillar, can be pivoted to the right, left, and forward. It converts into a padded armrest between the two front seats. Extended, the table opens out to twice its original size. A lever on the table swivel support permits table height adjustments.

This is a very comfortable interior. The features in this car are functional. The push button factory AM/FM Stereo is hidden in a dash compartment door. The push-button air conditioning controls are also right at hand.

The Auto Pilot (Cruise Control) is functional.

The air conditioning works as it should.

The pearlescent blue Silhouette-grain leather upholstery is in very good condition, showing its age with some cracking. It is still very pliable with years of use left. It appears the front seating originally had head rests.

The exterior Military Blue paint is in exceptional condition, complimented by the factory-optioned Antique White Vinyl Top. There is more than one commander on air fore bases and the only car that had a white top was the wing commanders car. This was because in the case of an attack on the base, our troops would know to look for the car with the white top knowing that the wing commander was in it.

The vinyl top is in excellent condition.

The original build sheet is shown in a few photos above. You can clearly see the Mobile Director designation.

Under the hood is the 440 big block V8. This is the correct engine for this car, paired with the 727 Torque Flite Automatic Transmission. The engine compartment features an array of factory options including power brakes, cruise control, power steering, and air conditioning.

The original trim identification plate is intact and legible.

Further inspection of the engine compartment will show you solid original sheet metal throughout the firewall, inner fenders, and core support.

The padded dash is in excellent condition with absolutely no cracks. The dash instrumentation is clear and bright, with original bright work throughout. The steering wheel is also in good condition, with some cracking that isn't too noticeable. This car is also equipped with the automatic dimming headlamps.

These vintage flag mounts are very unique and robust.

The odometer reading of 99,005 miles is believed original to this car.

The trunk features an electric glove-box mounted release button, paired with the hazard light / flasher button. The trunk itself features the original paneling, mat, and is in very good condition, complete with courtesy lighting along with the original jacking equipment & full-sized spare tire & wheel.

There is some rust showing along the inner trunk lid's lip edge, photographed above. You cannot see this from the exterior. The original jacking equipment is in place along with the spare tire/wheel. The jacking equipment resides behind the paneling shown above.

There are a few flaws in the paint, shown above. Altogether, a very attractive car.

The undercarriage features Chrysler's Torsionaire suspension along with front disc brakes and the 8 3/4 inch rear end. The factory flooring and framework is solid throughout. There is some isolated rust-through in front of the front wheels, photographed above.

Enjoy the remaining photos and again feel free to contact Dave at 214-213-7072 or Maris at 214-616-2317 with any questions. This is your opportunity to own a very rare piece of Chrysler's history, a 1968 Chrysler Crown Imperial Mobile Directors Coupe.

The fender ends feature turn signal indicator lights.

The factory cruise control is functional.

Chrysler names six new board directors

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

Executives may call the shots day-to-day at the world's leading automakers - much as they do at any other corporation - but the ultimate decision-making body remains the board of directors. And Chrysler has just named six new members to its board.
The appointments include Hermann Waldemer, the former CFO of Philip Morris International - the tobacco giant whose Marlboro brand has funneled untold billions into Ferrari as the Scuderia's title sponsor for decades, and on whose board Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne sits. Waldemer replaces Doug Steenland, who came to the Chrysler board after Northwest Airlines (at which he served as CEO) merged with Delta, and whose term on the board expired just days ago.
In addition to the Waldemer appointment, Chrysler has expanded its board with five more seats, all filled by existing group executives. Among them are Reid Bigland (head of US and Canadian sales and of the Ram truck brand), Fiat general counsel Giorgio Fossati, human resources director Michael J. Keegan, Jeep CEO Michael Manley, and group CFO Richard Palmer.

Chrysler's completely redesigned 200 caught totally uncovered

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

Preparing for a big debut at the Detroit Auto Show next month, the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200 was out for a late-night photo shoot fully undisguised, and our spy shooters were there to capture its all-new design completely uncovered. While there's no camouflage, the cover of darkness proved to be almost as effective, but we still get a good idea of what this former sore spot in the brand's lineup will look like after its clean-sheet redesign.
The first thing we notice is the stylish four-door-coupe roofline doing its best to impersonate something like the Audi A7, or maybe the Volkswagen CC. The front-end styling is a departure from recent Chrysler designs with narrow headlights and an equally short, chrome-trimmed grille. In profile, the bullet-nosed 200 is somewhat reminiscent of the Tesla Model S. This new design language should definitely help the 200 get noticed in a segment filled with hot sellers like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, as well as more stylish offerings like the Ford Fusion and Mazda6.
Our spies also caught up with the 200 testing in daylight and got some good shots of the interior. The instrument panel design looks similar to what is found in the Dodge Dart, including the oversized instrument gauges and possibly even the LED accent lighting. We would have to assume - and hope - this prototype is a test model due to its small touchscreen display, as Chrysler's 8.4-inch screen would look much better in its place. The center stack and console are clean with minimal buttons and knobs, but we do see a rotary gear selector, which may confirm reports from last year that suggested the 200 will use a nine-speed automatic transmission to help hit 38 miles per gallon on the highway.

President Trump to visit Michigan on Wednesday to attend auto-related event

Mon, Mar 13 2017

President Trump will visit the Detroit area on Wednesday for the first time since taking office, the Detroit News reports this morning, to meet with officials of automakers, suppliers and unions, and to attend a rally of autoworkers. Trump might use the event to announce his intentions to roll back fuel-economy standards for cars and trucks. The automakers agreed to the standards, which set a goal of a fleet average 54.5 miles per gallon by the year 2025, under President Obama, but they have lobbied Trump to repeal them. "This is a continuation of a dialogue with the auto industry leaders, and also going back and reconnecting with a lot of the people who elected him," Chris Liddell told the News. Liddell is former chief financial officer of General Motors and now assistant to the president for strategic initiatives at the White House. Trump might also use Wednesday's visit to advocate the House Republicans' proposed replacement for the Affordable Care Act. Later Wednesday, he will attend a campaign-style rally in Nashville, and White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has said the president intends to hit the road to sell the American public on the Obamacare replacement plan. The auto industry has been high on Trump's agenda - and a focus of his rhetoric to return manufacturing jobs and facilities to the United States. During his first week in office, Trump met privately at the White House with the CEOs of Ford, GM and Fiat Chrysler, and GM CEO and Chairman Mary Barra and Ford CEO Mark Fields are members of Trump economic advisory groups. He has criticized Ford and GM for making cars in Mexico and took credit when Ford scrapped plans for a new plant there.
