2005 Chrysler Town & Country Touring Edition Wheelchair Conversion Van on 2040-cars
McKinney, Texas, United States
2005
Chrysler wheelchair conversion Van.
First off, let me point out that this van is as
close to show room condition as possible, allowing for age and miles. I have
looked it over very carefully and found one nick on the front grill, about the
size of a house fly, one scuff on the right side belt molding and what appears
to be a car wash brush scuff on the right taillight lens; the interior is
beautiful. Let me also point out that I did not purchase this van with any
intention of reselling it, however, since it was a long-distance purchase, it
never occurred to me ask the width of the wheelchair lift. Unfortunately, the
Braun lift (NMV05)
although having a 400 pound lift capacity, is, at 25.75" usable width, about an inch too narrow for my power
wheelchair. This might also be a good time to point out that this van does not
have a lowered floor. However, because the previous owner actually purchased it
for a family member, who unfortunately became too disabled to drive before even
receiving it, and said owner has a car dealership, this van was completely
serviced mechanically from bottom to top and features new tires, new brakes,
new sway bar links, new battery and alignment. He also took the time to have
his local mobility dealer check out all of the adaptive equipment on the
vehicle and verified that it was working properly. If you are not familiar with
the AEVIT (Advanced Electronic Vehicle Interface Technology) systems, you will
be pleasantly surprised to learn that they make driving much easier and safer for
the disabled person. The AEVIT system provides electronic control of the
throttle and brake, so it requires much less physical input than a mechanical
system. It also has a screen with button switches to control all of the normal
driving functions such as starting, transmission shifting, parking brake, headlights,
windshield wipers, horn, HVAC, door locks and power windows. If you would like
to see a demonstration of some of these features, on this van, send me a
request and I'll reply with Youtube video links. This system is especially
convenient for someone who has contracted fingers, strength and/or reach
problems. That is why I wanted it for myself. Additionally, there is extra
power assist applied to the steering mechanism to make that lighter and there
is a backup system to provide boost for the power brakes in the event that the
engine is shut off. The AEVIT system is probably state-of-the-art in mobility
assistance and safety. It is also, if purchased new, very expensive. The local
shop told me I would be looking at around $60,000 to install a system in my
existing conversion Van. Obviously, purchasing it used can save quite a bit of
money. If you are looking at a vehicle history report, there is a mention of an
accident. I was told that this was a very slight incident that only damaged one
of the bumper covers which has been replaced. Again, I cannot overemphasize the
marvelous condition of this vehicle! EZ-Lock System and center
row seats are included, but not currently installed. Clear Texas title, in my name. Vehicle inspections
welcomed and vehicle can remain here for up to two weeks after purchase. VIN 2C4GP54L95R197534 Miles 42,246 Exterior Color GREEN Engine 3.8L Transmission Automatic Drive Train FWD

Wish you had a world-famous auto exec give your commencement speech? Watch this
Sat, 02 Feb 2013We've seen some pretty great commencement speeches over the years. There was Steve Jobs' incredibly inspiring Stanford address in 2005, John Stewart's insightful speech to the graduating class of William and Mary in 2004 and Steven Colbert's hilarious 2011 address at Northwestern, but automotive executives aren't strangers to honorary degrees. Former General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner spoke at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2011, and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne recently gave the keynote at Walsh College's 100th Commencement Ceremony. The executive knows a thing or two about success and following one's beliefs to fulfillment.
"I constantly encourage my co-workers at Fiat and Chrysler to go beyond the cliche and the conventional to try new approaches and change perspective each and every day," Marchionne said. "I exhort them not to repeat the same things, the same approaches, and I remind them they are indeed free. The freedom I am talking about is something inside you. It is determined by how open minded you remain, how receptive you are to the new and to the different, to the infinite possibilities that present themselves even if you don't go looking for them or could never have imagined. Being free means that you have the strength not to be conditioned by what others want you to do or by what may seem to be the easiest choice."
Amen to that. You can check out the brief press release on the address below as well as a video of a few highlights from the speech.
Plymouth Belmont: Running, driving, Virgil Exner-owned concept car could be yours
Fri, Dec 29 2017Concept cars are such bittersweet things. They're often gorgeous and exciting, but all too often they never see production in even the most watered-down forms. And even then, the beautiful shapes aren't usually driveable. But in the case of this 1954 Plymouth Belmont concept, it is drivable, and it could be yours. This curvaceous roadster, which appeared at the 1954 New York Auto Show and was owned at one time by Chrysler styling master Virgil Exner, is driveable because under the long hood is a 241-cubic-inch V8 coupled to a three-speed automatic transmission. It's not a speed demon with just 157 horsepower, but that's OK, because you don't want to accelerate so fast you deprive the world of the Belmont's beautiful body. For a design from the 1950s, it's impressively restrained and elegant. The flanks are completely smooth and flowing, the only interruptions being the shut lines to the small doors. There aren't even door handles on the sides. Chrome and polished stainless accents are left only to the lights, bumpers, grille, and a slender line that runs along the peak of the fenders from stem to stern. Even the fins are small and subtle (relatively). Even the interior is simple and clean. The dashboard is made of machine-turned metal with white on black analog dials and compass-like needles. Everything else is wrapped in a very light beige leather (probably vinyl), and again, polished surfaces are kept to a minimum. Of course the other great part is that this concept is something you could own because it will go for auction at Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale auction. There's no publicly available estimate for how much money the car may bring, but it does have a reserve, so be prepared with a little extra cash even if you have the winning bid. The auction runs from Jan. 13 to Jan. 21. Related Video: Image Credit: Barrett-Jackson Chrysler Auctions Convertible Concept Cars Classics
Junkyard Gem: 1986 Chrysler Fifth Avenue
Sun, Dec 9 2018Chrysler started putting the New Yorker name on its top-end luxury dreadnaughts all the way back in the early 1940s. When it came time to pitch an even more exclusive New Yorker, what street did Chrysler choose for its name in 1979? Exactly. The Fifth Avenues started out as Plymouth Gran Fury siblings, then switched to the smaller M-Body Dodge Diplomat platform for the 1982-1989 model years. Here's a padded-landau-roof-equipped '86 Fifth Avenue, spotted in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard. Though the Fifth Avenue started life as a option package for the New Yorker, Chrysler ditched the New Yorker badging on these cars after the 1983 model year (while applying it, confusingly, to the Chrysler-badged front-wheel-drive E-Body). Perhaps this was due to certain Chrysler-demographic-terrifying developments in New York-based popular culture around that time. 1970s styling touches were still going strong in mid-1980s Detroit, and this car has lots of fake wood and button-tufted vinyl inside, with this stainless-trimmed padded landau roof outside. Mechanically speaking, it's a Dodge Diplomat, complete with 140-horsepower 318-cubic-inch (5.2 liter) V8, rear-wheel-drive, and three-speed automatic transmission. The Diplomat was a sturdy and reliable machine, but the $14,910 Fifth Avenue sticker price was a lot to pay for a Diplomat with some extra gingerbread, especially when the Diplomat listed at $10,086.

The Diplomat was a very popular choice for American law-enforcement duties during the 1980s, and the chase scene from Short Time shows a slightly exaggerated depiction of its tough construction. It's a shame that the filmmakers couldn't find a way to use a Fifth Avenue instead. For 1990, the Fifth Avenue name went onto a stretched version of the front-wheel-drive K Platform, then disappeared after 1993. This content is hosted by a third party.
