1974 New Yorker Brougham 2DRHT Survivor, was my dad's car, he bought it from the original owner here in the Reno/Sparks area. Has just over 78K miles, with original factory paint, code T5 Sienna Metallic, was going to install a new vinyl top before selling, but on a friends advice decided to leave it up to the new owner, as far as color choice etc. The factory top color was V1L which is Parchment or Beige. Also, by leaving the top off, you can see that besides a very thin surface rust, there is no major or minor rust on the roof or anywhere else. The 440 runs really nice, quiet, smooth and powerful. The 727 shifts perfect. I recently installed new front brake hoses and new semi-metallic brake pads, along with a new master cylinder, bled entire brake system, and installed a new idler arm. The front end still needs a little work, not sure what else it needs, maybe new strut rod bushings and sway bar bushings. It brakes extremely well with the new S/Met pads though. The interior needs some upholstery work on the driver's side seat, but the rest of the seats are just beautiful and still soft, even the top of the rear seat backs are still soft! One power window does not work, the passenger rear quarter window. The driver's window jiggles a bit when lowered, the window guide post needs to be lubricated. The top of the dash pad discolored after i cleaned it, but it can be re-dyed as it's still pretty soft. The driver's door arm rest has a cover on it that my dad installed to cover a crack i believe. My dad recharged the A/C, but it lost the charge over time. The cruise control works. It is a very loaded car, with Power Windows, A/C, Cruise, Tilt/Tele, Power Trunk Release, Rear Window Defogger, Light package, 6 Way Power Driver's seat, Power door locks, AM/FM 8-Track Stereo, LED Warning lights, ( one of the first Detroit cars to have them along with the gauges), Chrome Styled Road Wheels, etc. I have the build sheet and the original owner's manual. I polished the paint with Meguiar's products by hand, but i think that with a buffer, the paint will look spectacular for original factory paint from 1974. This car is coded on the build sheet as having "show car finish". There are a couple of very small dents, they are in close up pics. The chrome is still very nice, and still original. I hate to sell this car, but i already have too much to do and can't spend the time it so much deserve's. If you have any questions or want more pictures, please message me through ebay, and i'll send them to your e-mail. As with any vintage car, especially a survivor like this one, it's not perfect and will need some restoration work, but not nearly as much as most. Of course, it is sold as-is. Thanks for looking.

Chrysler fires protest organizer at MI assembly plant
Tue, 12 Mar 2013Chrysler 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."

Fiat Chrysler, Peugeot owner PSA reportedly in merger talks
Tue, Oct 29 2019Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot owner PSA are in talks to combine in a deal that could create a $50 billion automaker, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing sources. The deal could be in the form of an all-stock deal, the report said. Fiat Chrysler shares rose sharply after the report and were up more than 7% in late afternoon trading. Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot had no comment. Investors have speculated for several years that Fiat Chrysler was hunting for a merger partner, encouraged by the rhetoric of the company's late chief executive, Sergio Marchionne. In 2015, Marchionne outlined the case for consolidation of the auto industry, and tried unsuccessfully to interest General Motors in a deal. Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler had discussed a combination earlier this year, before Fiat Chrysler proposed a $35 billion merger with French automaker Renault SA. Fiat Chrysler Chairman John Elkann broke off talks with Renault in June after French government officials intervened, and pushed for Renault to first resolve tensions with its Japanese alliance partner, Nissan. Following the collapse of the Renault merger plan, Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley left the door open for talks with would-be partners, but said the Italian-American automaker could go it alone despite mounting costs to develop electric vehicles and comply with tougher emissions rules in Europe, the United States and China. Peugeot CEO Carlos Tavares dismissed the idea of a combination with Fiat Chrysler during a discussion with reporters at the Frankfurt auto show last month. "We don't need it," Tavares said when asked whether he was still interested in a deal with Fiat Chrysler. Fiat Chrysler has a commercial vehicle partnership with Peugeot.
