1956 CHRYSLER SOUTHAMPTON 2 DOOR HARDTOP
I believe so strongly in this beautiful 1956 Imperial Southampton two door hardtop that I am offering it at no reserve. Why do I feel so strongly about this car, well let me tell you about it. First of all it is very complete with a mostly original interior. I say mostly because two panels on the front seat have been replaced with the incorrect material. When I look at a car I simply get goose bumps if the interior is basically all original. In this case we have original leather, original back seat in its entirety, original headliner, original door panels, quarter panels, original carpet, etc. Even if it’s worn it provides perfect samples so if one is going to replace it they can do it right. Then let’s look at the exterior. Is it complete with all its trim even down to correct license holders? In this case yes. Do all the panels fit and is there evidence of previous accident damage or rust repair. In this case neither rust thru or accident damage. The paint. The top has been refinished in its correct color and is superb. The bottom is a mix of spot work obviously done over its lifetime but a nice match and best said presentable. Good enough for a show but you will not win. Engine compartment. Original to a fault. Notice that even the spark plug wire covers are in place. Often missing and hard to find. The carb has been upgraded but most will not know and it does retain its correct air filter. Overall mechanical performance is simply outstanding. There are minor brake issues but should go away with driving. This Imperial has barely been driven since 2009. Niceties. To begin with most everything works. All exterior lights work, park, head, stop,, turn and braking lights work as original. All gauges except a tempermental fuel gauge work. Dash lights including map light work – see pictures. The radio did work but does not except to come on and buzz. The signal seek works but will not select a station. The power antenna works great and when up reaches to mars. The trunk, all original coverings and still very presentable. What have I left out? I hope you get the picture of just how unique this gorgeous Imperial is. If my dissertation doesn’t suffice please review the pictures carefully. This is a stunning car even with its faults. It is a rare car, ask when you lost saw one. Is it complete, yes even the jack and tools are in place. Oh yes those wire wheels. They are not original to the car but are correct Chrysler wire wheels with reproduction center caps. The tires are ancient bias ply 820-15’s. They have not been balanced and are old enough to be unsafe for a road trip but they have great tread. The wheel and tire package complement the originality of the Imperial. As always it is impossible to provide everything without going on and on so if there is something that you need to know simply ask. By the way this is a west coast car as it come from Spokane, Washington. It is exciting to offer this Imperial and the no reserve speaks for itself. Thanks for looking

Car Club USA heads to the Buckeye State for some high-octane drag racing at the Chrysler Power Classic. And for these amateur drag racers, nothing but Mopar muscle will do. "I would say Mopar is kind of a way of life," says Larry Augenstine. "Some people get addicted to lemonade, or beer, [or] drugs. Well, I'm Mopars." Larry drives a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda with a 426 Hemi motor that once belonged to local racing legend Ray Christian. He's joined at the track by Mark Ipsen of the Midwest Nostalgia Pro Stock Association. Mark runs a 1979 AMC Concord with a modified 401 block V8 that he claims has dynoed at just under 1,000 horsepower. The biggest threat to any day on track is Mother Nature, who cast a threatening shadow over National Trail Raceway for much of the event. When the clouds and rain subsided, our cameras captured the grounds crew in action with blowers, torches, and a sticky compound that's sprayed the entire length of the track. Can Larry, Mark, and the rest of these Mopar fanatics make the most of the few runs they'll get? Stay tuned to find out. Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog. Chrysler Racing Vehicles Performance Car Club USA Videos Original Video autoblog black

There's nothing like winding down the year with news to spin heads, eh? Allpar cites "sources" as suggesting the Chinese-market Jeep Grand Commander will come to the U.S. as a Chrysler. This Speculation with a capital "S" has several rationales. The late Sergio Marchionne said Chrysler will focus on utility and not sell cars, making it fit for a new three-row crossover. The road-focused Grand Commander couldn't live up to U.S. perceptions of Jeep values, which is why the lateral brand move. A new model would give the Pentastar a second nameplate alongside the Pacifica, since the 300 sedan dies come 2020. And a big Chrysler school runner would allow the near-immortal Dodge Journey to end its life with something approaching dignity. The Grand Commander, a stretched version of our Cherokee with three rows, uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 231 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The 192-inch long SUV is ten inches longer than the Cherokee, and 2.2 inches longer than the Grand Cherokee. Carmakers bring a host of not-for-U.S. metal over here, so this doesn't signal production intent, but sharp eyes caught the Grand Commander on Michigan streets in March. The white high-rider carried its Chinese badging, and was bereft of camo other than tape over the door handles. Allpar says a domestic version wouldn't be built in China, but either in the Belvidere, Ill. plant that builds the Cherokee, or in facilities in Windsor, Canada or Toluca, Mexico. Should these events come to pass, Chrysler would soon have four models: Pacifica, a production version of Portal concept, a crossover based on the Pacifica, and the rebranded Jeep. Ready for more? Allpar also says there are "rumors of a Chrysler-badged crossover version of [the Dodge] Charger." FCA leaving Chrysler and Dodge out of the FCA five-year roadmap earlier this year leaves a vacuum ripe for, shall we say, Chinese whispers. We're not saying all of this won't happen, but put these prognostications in one place and it starts to read like a wrinkle in time, it's all so fabulous. Remember, the last we heard about the Dodge Journey, it was going to become an Alfa Romeo-based performance crossover headed to dealerships next year. The best we can suggest for now is to stay tuned. Related Video:

Chrysler has reportedly fired a Warren Stamping Plant worker for what the company is calling a violation of its code of conduct. Alex Wassell (left), a 20-year veteran with the automaker, was suspended without pay after he was quoted in an article in The Detroit News. The 63-year-old welder repairman helped organize a demonstration against a new work schedule and was protesting outside the Michigan plant on February 28 when he was interviewed. Chrysler then fired Wassell when the paper published his comments. Wassell, has since filed a grievance and says that he's looking for an amicable settlement between his union and his former employer. Meanwhile, multiple civil liberties groups have spoken out against Chrysler's decision to dismiss Wassell. Both the National Lawyer's Guild and the American Civil Liberties Union have released statements on the situation, with the ACLU saying "Employees have a right to air their grievances, even if that means a public demonstration or a comments to the media." According to The Detroit News, Chrysler spokesperson Jodi Tinson said that Wassell was fired for "engaging in activity constituting or appearing to constitute a conflict with the interest of the company."
