1952 Chrysler Imperial 2 Door Hardtop Coupe on 2040-cars
United States
|
1952 Chrysler Imperial 2-door hardtop in Superior Blue. Originally with Yuma Gray top, as can be seen on the inside of the pillar. Very rare, one of 3450 Imperial hardtops made in 1951/1952. (Chrysler didn't break out the production figures for each year.) Not many left now. 331 hemi V-8, Fluid-Torque semi-automatic with optional torque convertor (as opposed to the standard fluid coupling). Original and unrestored condition. Colorado car with solid body and trunk. The odometer is reading just under 30,000 miles, it probably has flipped over once for actual mileage of 130,000. The old hemi starts readily and pulls the car easily with little effort. The transmission shifts with no problems. Power front windows, wipers, lighting, starting and charging all working as when the car was new. Only the the radio, clock and fuel sending unit are going to need some attention. The power steering makes driving the car nearly effortless, and the power assisted brakes pull the car down in vintage fashion. Both the brake master cylinder and carburetor have recently been rebuilt. This car will need kingpins. That and new tires and it can be driven anywhere. A good rat rod candidate, or restoration project, well worth the effort for this appreciating car.
Included is a copy of the original owner's manual packet. Seller will need to make a deposit of $500 within 3 days of the auction’s end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end. Buyer assumes responsibility for shipping. Of course, local pick up is no problem. Thanks for looking, and good luck! |

2014 Chrysler 200 to set design tone for brand
Sun, 20 Jan 2013Speaking with Wards Auto at this year's Detroit Auto Show, Chrysler design chief Ralph Gilles said that the next-generation Chrysler 200 will launch a whole new styling direction for the brand when it arrives for the 2014 model year. Gilles did not reveal any specific design cues or elements that will be found on the next 200, only saying that the new car "shares no surface language with any previous Chrysler we've ever seen."
Indeed, the current 200 isn't exactly setting the world on fire with any sort of clever, emotive design, but Gilles knows that. "The current Chryslers on the road today certainly don't reflect where we're headed," he told Wards Auto. Instead, Gilles said that "we are deviating from where we are today, completely. It's a very different feeling (and) look."
The launch of the new Chrysler 200 will officially mean the death of its Dodge Avenger counterpart, though Gilles says that the company is working on an all-new product to replace that vehicle down the road. Still, Chrysler will need a successful player in the popular midsize segment, and Gilles fully expects the new 200 to be up to the task. "I think it's going to be a beautiful and relevant vehicle."
Dodge to resurrect Scat Pack?
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Before social media ever existed, if automotive enthusiasts wanted to be noticed or recognize other fans, they joined a car club. For Dodge muscle car lovers from 1968 through 1971, that group was known as the Scat Pack. Just like the Charger, Challenger and Dart nameplates, it looks like the Scat Pack could be getting a resurrection by Chrysler.
Automotive News is reporting that Chrysler recently renewed its trademark on the Scat Pack name, and while this is in no way a guarantee that the name will return, AN talked to Tim Kuniskis, Dodge President and CEO, who stoked the fire a little more. In the article, Kuniskis said that the name is "a very important part of our history" and added that "we like the whole idea of having a Scat Pack of cars." Scat Pack models were identified by their bumblebee stripes and helmet-wearing bumblebee logo, and the idea of a modern Scat Pack doesn't seem all that outlandish in light of recent vehicles like the Charger SRT Super Bee and the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Concept.
What do you think, is this a cool idea, or is it just an unwelcome bit of nostalgia? Have you say in Comments.
Has Dodge stepped in it again with Scat Pack lawsuit?
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Lawsuits are an unfortunate part of doing business in just about any industry, so the latest complaint filed by a California-based aftermarket firm against Chrysler would seem to be nothing more than business as usual. But this isn't the first time the two companies have sparred over this particular issue.
According to a report from Automotive News, the dispute revolves around the Scat Pack name that Chrysler first offered on the Charger, Coronet, Dart and Super Bee starting in 1968. Scat Enterprises, a manufacturer of crankshafts and other components for Dodges and other vehicles, sued Chrysler for using its name. A few years later the Scat Pack disappeared from the Dodge catalog.
Fast forward to August 2013 when Chrysler applied to register the Scat Pack name anew. The US Patent and Trademark Office turned down Chrysler's application, but the automaker proceeded anyway, unveiling new Scat Packs for the Challenger, Charger and Dart at last year's SEMA show.
