This preserved survivor 1987 Chrysler LeBaron Town&Country station wagon is the ultimate 1980s retro-mobile!  Super luxurious and comfortable with its Mark Cross leather seats, deep carpeting, power driver seat, AM/FM/Cassette, super 1980s status with its wood trim in excellent condition, white walls and wire wheel covers, and hood ornament, fun and fast to drive with its turbo engine and front wheel drive, and yet practical with room in the wagon to bring the picnic to the next car show!

The LeBaron looks, runs, and drives great.  The over the top Mark Cross leather interior is in amazing condition.  The seats and door panels show very little wear; the headliner is just a few years old (no sagging headliner here!), there are no cracks or fading in the dash.  The power drivers seat is very comfortable and works great; all power windows work, power locks work, and the AMFM radio works (I have never used the cassette player).  With the tilt wheel and the power seat, it is a smooth and comfortable ride!  And for the ultimate in 1980s retro mobile show, the period cell phone (remember they were called 'car phones') is on a stand facing the rear seat passenger!  The phone appears to have been installed when the car was purchased new, and the original cell phone owners manual is included.  The only notable cosmetic item is a broken plastic trim piece at the drivers seat lower side by the seat controls; it is barely noticeable even when pointed out, and in now way affects the seat or seat mechanism.  The power rear view mirrors do not work.  The really cool period digital dash display works great and includes full instrumentation, which shows that this LeBaron is in great running condition, as gages work showing the oil pressure, temperature, and alternator are all performing in good operating ranges.

Mechanically, the LeBaron starts right up, sounds great, and is very quick.  Brakes work fine, the transmission shifts smoothly into and through gears, steering feels fine and it makes no unusual noises.  Even the cruise control works!  The air conditioning comes on, but blows only moderately cool.  The LeBaron has largely been stored for the last few years, always indoors, and started periodically.  I have taken it on short drives over the last several weeks, and it has started, run, driven, and braked great, but I would recommend changing fluids and inspecting the car before taking it on a longer trip.

The body on this LeBaron is in excellent condition, I can see absolutely no rust anywhere.  The wood is overall in excellent condition, probably better than any other period LeBaron woody that I have seen.  The LeBaron has had some minor body work to the front bumper and hood at some point in the past, and the paint on the hood has some minor and hard to see checking.  The wood trim panels on the left front fender and left front door have some minor damage (see photos) but the rest of the wood is really in amazing condition, without the fading and yellowing that is on almost all of these woody wagons, and with only very minor wear or chips.  The shiny aluminum trim around the windows is in excellent, shiny condition, again this is almost always somewhat faded but on this car it looks great.  The roof rack is also in great condition, and has its tie down attachments.  Finally, the LeBaron has a set of new old stock wire wheel covers, all in excellent condition, without curb rash or deterioration.  I only put the new wheel covers on for the photos, and have stored them in the car so that they are not damaged.

The luggage compartment is clean and is not faded, but the hatch struts need to be replaced.  The spare tire appears to be the unused original!

This is a very obviously well cared for, garaged, original survivor LeBaron Town & Country turbo wagon.  You can't get more 1980s than this... and you can cruise to local car shows with your gear in the time capsule wagon.  It is fun to drive and shows well.

I have described this LeBaron to the best of my knowledge; it is a 27 year old car and is sold as is, where is.  If you have any questions, please ask before you bid!  A bid is a contract to purchase the car if you are the high bidder!  Bidders with zero or negative feedback please contact me before bidding or I reserve the right to cancel your bid.  The buyer is responsible for picking up the car or for transport, though I can assist to meet a transport provider.  I can store the car indoors for a short time while pick up arrangements are being made.  A non refundable $500 deposit is due within 24 hours of auction end; the balance in cash or USPS money order are due within seven days of auction end.  I have clear title in my name and it will be provided and the car released when payment in full has been made and funds are cleared.

I hope that you will enjoy this time capsule LeBaron turbo wagon!

Chrysler dealers terminated in bankruptcy still stuck in court

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Part of the deal for the federal bailouts of Chrysler and General Motors was that both organizations were required to trim their vast array of dealerships. This move did not sit well with the people that would be losing out on franchises, though, and in Chrysler's case, 148 of the shuttered dealers have fought for money they feel they are entitled to.
These dealers believe that they should be compensated by the federal government, as Chrysler wouldn't have trimmed its sales centers had it not been ordered to by Uncle Sam. Now, thanks to the ruling of three judges on the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the dealers will get a chance to argue their point.
According to Automotive News, the dealers argue that the mandatory shuttering of dealers was unconstitutional, because the federal government was taking property without compensation. If the dealers are victorious, not only would the government be out millions of dollars, but a precedent could be set that would allow similarly closed GM dealerships to cash in.

Is Chrysler's 'America's Import' campaign outdated or offensive? [w/poll]

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

Chrysler launched its America's Import campaign with a splashy ad during the Super Bowl starring Bob Dylan and featuring a whole bunch of patriotic imagery that included Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, factory employees and, of course, the city of Detroit. Since then, the brand has followed the original spot with even more ads using the same tagline. Not everyone is pleased, it seems, including The Detroit Free Press auto critic Mark Phelan, who's fed up with the marketing. In an editorial for the newspaper, Phelan claims that it's insulting to the US auto industry and its workers.
"The phrase 'America's import,' with its suggestion that 'import' equals 'better,' feels terribly dated, a relic of the 1980s. It's the rhetorical equivalent of hanging a pastel-hued 'Miami Vice' poster on your office wall," writes Phelan in the piece. Also, since some of the brand's cars are made in Canada, the line isn't even entirely true, he claims. Phelan goes on to praise the company's earlier Imported from Detroit commercials for getting the right message across and showing pride in the city.
While "America's Import" might be the tagline for Chrysler's ads, it's not the whole message. Subsequent ads keep the hard-working, patriotic imagery from the original Super Bowl spot but put a bigger emphasis on the Chrysler 200 that the commercials are meant to sell.

Chrysler UConnect wins AOL Autos Technology of the Year Award

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

The first annual AOL Autos Technology of the Year Award has been won by Chrysler's upgraded UConnect system.
Over 35 entries were considered and narrowed down to six finalists in three categories: Connectivity, Telematics and Active Safety. The judges, which included editors from AOL Autos, Autoblog and Engadget, as well as a number of other auto and tech journalists and luminaries, chose UConnect over the MyFord Mobile app, Audi Connect with Google Maps, Cadillac CUE, Honda's LaneWatch technology and Nissan's Tire Pressure Alert and Refill System. Even readers who were polled on which technology should win chose UConnect.
AOL Autos Editor in Chief David Kiley remarked that Chrysler's UConnect deserved the first Technology of the Year Award not because of what it does, but for how UConnect performs every time it's used. Kiley went on to say UConnect works the way it's supposed to, fills a need and puts a smile on your face. By meeting those requirements, UConnect very much deserved AOL Auto's first Tech of the Year award.
