1948 Chrysler New Yorker Coupe This car was parked on a West Texas ranch in 1964 and has been there ever since. It is very complete car, the only thing I know of that is missing is the radio antenna and outside mirror. all the glass is in it. The door windows are cracked. Windows roll up and down. The sun took a toll on the interior. It was all still intact but very fragile. seat covers are mostly gone, the padding is there and the seat springs are still good. I took the driver side door panel off while installing patch panels in the door corners. Passenger door was OK. Fenders have typical patches in the corners. patches were put in the floor board and trunk area. The car was never wrecked, had minor dings and one dent in the trunk about the size of a dinner plate.All the wheels rolled smooth, has the original wheels, hub caps, and beauty rings. Engine is the Spitfire flat head 8 cyl. and has a fluid drive Trans. They may or may not be good. There is one piece of chrome on the rear fender that is partly smashed. there are several wrecking yards that have it in the $40 range. The pot metal trim has pitting, would be fine for a hot rod. Personally I would just paint it with the new chrome paint. The front cross member is rusted and should be replaced. .The rest of the frame is fine,. It has a big boxed frame and would be fine for a street rod. Personally I would put a new front suspension such as Fat Man ect. The original front suspension was not very good when it was new. The car has been blasted and epoxy primed in a medium dark gray. It would be fine the way it is for a rat rod or hot rod. it would take an experience body man a day to slick it up for a bright paint job. This would probably be best suited for a very rare street rod or rat rod, I have seen only one other in 3 years. There is enough room up front for a hemi or two. The white walls do not go with the car. It has a set of good roller tires.All the bumpers and valance are with the car, I personally like it better with them off.. The car can be delivered to the port in Houston, Tx. for a price for foreign buyers. Car is being sold with a Bill of Sale. I have a lady that does titles for $350. The car does not have to be moved right away but I expect a $500 deposit in three days. It will have to be towed and I will assist any way I can. I am sure I forgot something. you can call 830-370-6370 for more info. Thanks for looking.

Chrysler 300 diesel could get green light
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Word has it Chrysler is keen to shove its new turbo diesel V6 into a range of models. Wards Auto reports Chrysler President and CEO Saad Chehab has made it clear the automaker is investigating the possibility of using the 3.0-liter oil-burner in the 300. While speaking at an Automotive Press Association luncheon, Chehab said, "It's a matter of how much the customer is willing to pay for that premium. That's the only issue with it."
The Chrysler 300 is sold as the Lancia Thema in Europe complete with a diesel of its very own, and since the Jeep Grand Cherokee is now available with the diesel V6 here in the States, it only makes sense that the engine could potentially show up on the 300 order sheet. Opting for the 3.0 V6 in the Jeep Grand Cherokee will set you back an additional $4,500, however.
Chehab also said the engine could make an appearance in the next-generation Chrysler 200, which is set to debut next year.
Chrysler launches new Ram ads and gears up for Super Bowl XLV [w/videos]
Tue, 09 Oct 2012Perhaps 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 recalling 278,222 trucks and SUVs over bad rear axles
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Chrysler has issued a recall of 278,222 light trucks and sport utility vehicles here in the United States. The reason: bad rear axles. Specifically, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the rear axle pinion nut may lack a necessary adhesive patch, which could cause the nut to loosen. If this happens, the axle can lock up, which could cause all sorts of havoc on the road.
This is an expansion of the rear axle recall announced in October of last year, where 44,300 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota models were being called in. At that time, 12 accidents had been reported due to the faulty axle pinion nut.
Affected vehicles include Ram 1500 trucks from the 2009 to 2012 model years, Dodge Dakota models from the 2009 to 2011 model years, and both the Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango SUV twins, both from the 2009 model year only.
