Up for sale is a truly beautiful, rather rare, piece of "Art Deco" automotive history!  1950 Chrysler Windsor Royal Club Coupe. This original survivor is in remarkable condition having travelled only 71,300 miles in the last 64 years.  The car was driven a conservative 43,000 miles up to 1983 by the original owner.  Upon her passing it was passed to her daughter and son inlaw and was given a light face-lift consisting of some mechanical updating and a few paint touch-ups.  The car was used for more than 30 years as a Sunday drive and show car staying with the original family.  All of its life it has been garaged and pampered.  The car has been serviced regularly throughout the years with some oil changes having less than 100 miles driven.  The paint is close to 2/3 original with a few blow ins and touch-ups over the years to keep it pristine. The interior is all original with only the slightest of fading with no rips. The seats have always been covered over with plaid matching blankets front and back.  The door panels are all original also with only light wear on the drivers door.  The carpet is presentable but a recent vacuuming revealed some fraying and a few un-ravels.  ( New carpets have been ordered)  It has the original rubber floor mats with the "Royal" crown on both as with instrument cluster. The headliner, sun visors and arm-rests are original and in fabulous condition.   The rest of the interior is in super condition, also all the chrome, buttons, knobs and handles are all great. The trunk is all original from the jack and tire, right down to the original trunk mat.  The paint, as stated, is mostly original with only a few touch-ups.  There are a few knicks and light scratches that do not show in the photos, but can be seen at 6-12 inches. The undercarriage is almost factory fresh!!  The dealer-applied asphault undercoating is quite dry from so many years in Nevada and California and is easily scraped off.  Under the undercoating it is factory paint with no rust!! Truly remarkable!!  The Chrome is the real tell-tale of pride of ownership.  The chrome is nearly flawless and is super bright and shiney.  The rear bumper was rechromed 20+ years ago for the usual exhaust discoloration and oxidization.  It still looks great!  All of the factory options work!  Radio was overhauled in the 80's and all new tubes put in.  It sounds fabulous!  All gauges work perfectly and are super accurate.  The interior chrome is stunning. The 2-speed electric wipers work great and park when turned off.  The steering wheel has a dozen or so hairline cracks in the acryllic. The rad and heater core were replaced a few years ago as were belts and hoses. The 3 speed dual fans blow hard and hot when required. The brake system was overhauled 2 years ago also as was the fluid-drive transmission.  It is a true Timex. Last summer it drove over 5000 miles on a 3 week family trip at 70 mph.  This past month we drove it 2000 miles on another... 500+ miles were in torrential rains with no issues. Tires are only a few years old and in great shape. The car still has its original headlights.  If you look closely at the center of the lights you will see the focus beam center.  All other light lenses are in outstanding condition with little to no crazing. Original manuals and brochures are with the car.  All systems are in top shape.  I would not hesitate to drive coast to coast!! Registered appraisal of $29,900.00  DOT Safety inspected last week. The car gets rave reviews and thumbs up everywhere we go. While it is not a Concourse vehicle, it has many trophies and accolades. There are another 60 plus photos available for email.  Any questions feel free to call  905-717-2431 I will help with shipping arrangements. There are some spare parts that go with the car. ( Hoses, lines, exhaust, factory original spotlight, wiper blades, car cover and more) The pictures speak for themselves.

FCA's Pentastar V6 gets more power, efficiency for 2016

Wed, Sep 2 2015

Already a vital member of FCA's powertrain lineup, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is receiving major efficiency improvements for 2016. Thanks to a massive amount of new tech attached to the mill, fuel economy is up six percent, and torque below 3,000 rpm jumps nearly 15 percent. The updates arrive first in the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but they should proliferate to other models eventually. At least in the Grand Cherokee, the tweaks push power up five horsepower to 295 ponies. FCA's engineers went through the Pentastar from top to bottom to eke out as much efficiency as possible. For example, there's now a two-speed variable-valve lift system that can run in low- or high-lift modes. This upgrade is responsible for 2.7-percent better economy, the company claims. A new intake manifold with longer runners and updated variable-valve times also helps boost the torque output. Further improvements come from pushing the compression ratio to 11.3:1, from 10.2:1 before. Perhaps most impressive is that despite all of the innovations, the latest Pentastar actually weighs four pounds less than the current version. Beyond the Pentastar improvements, all of the FCA US gasoline engines, except for the Viper's 8.4-liter V10, will be E15-compatible for 2016. The company says that it wants to be ready for the higher ethanol content fuel's greater use in the near future.

Chrysler recalls 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks

Sat, 09 Nov 2013

Chrysler has announced that it will issue three separate recalls that will cover as many as 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks for "steering-system tie rods that may have been misaligned during assembly or steering-system service." The vast majority of these trucks were sold in the United States, though some trucks in Mexico, Canada or overseas will be called in, as well.
The largest of the three recalls covers an estimated 842,400 model-year 2003-2008 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Two smaller campaigns will bring 294,000 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups, chassis cabs and 2008 Ram 1500 4x4 Mega Cabs; plus 43,500 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 4500 and 5500 4x4 chassis cabs into the dealer to be checked and repaired if necessary.
This is a very large recall, and Chrysler says it is "casting the net wider than necessary to identify those vehicles that require repair." The automaker estimates that "as many as 726,000 may not need repair."

Chrysler Pacifica-based crossover SUV coming soon

Thu, Jan 18 2018

Chrysler is finally going to get another vehicle to support its minuscule lineup. According to Motor Trend, Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne said that the company has a three-row crossover based on Chrysler's Pacifica minivan ready to go in as little as 18 months. Moving past the irony that Chrysler repurposed the old Pacifica crossover's name for a minivan, only for that very van to yield a new crossover, this is a vital vehicle for Chrysler that offers some interesting possibilities. Firstly, as we just mentioned, Chrysler hardly has anything in its lineup right now. With the departure of the 200, it was left with the 300 and the Pacifica. Both are perfectly fine machines, and we especially like the Pacifica, but they didn't leave the brand with much breadth for people who wanted something that wasn't a large sedan or a minivan. Both of those segments are giving up market share to crossovers, so a Pacifica-based crossover, one with three rows, will be beneficial beyond just offering another model, but also offering one that is more broadly popular, especially as more companies including Subaru and Volkswagen expand into the large three-row segment. The Pacifica platform also offers some unique opportunities for this upcoming Chrysler crossover. Using such a space-efficient starting point could give this Chrysler class-leading passenger and cargo space. Most interesting to consider, though, is the possibility of a plug-in hybrid. With the heavy lifting done during the Pacifica's development, it shouldn't be too difficult to adapt the PHEV powertrain to the new crossover. Shockingly, plug-in crossovers have only been tried by luxury brands and Mitsubishi, the latter with the Outlander PHEV. So this Chrysler could be in a class of its own by offering a larger PHEV than Outlander, but at a better price than the luxury automakers. As such, we're quite interested to see how this crossover turns out. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
