1964 Chrysler Imperial Crown - I Dare You To Find A Better One For Less! on 2040-cars
Folsom, California, United States
Beautiful deep Sequoia Green exterior (frequently mistaken as black in most lighting). Rich supple white leather interior. Near new white convertible top: works perfectly. Sale includes the hard to replace fiberglass covers for the top when down (parade boots). As for looks, the car is striking. Attracts lots of attention as there never were a lot of these to be seen; only 922 ever built in 1964. There are no cracks in the dash. The upholstry needs nothing. As for ride, it is luxurious. Doesn't have the rattles, shakes, or vibrations of lessor quailty cars for the same year. You can feel the quality. It has all the luxuries one would expect for that year: power windows, power seats (two 4-way seats), original factor AM/FM working radio, air conditioning, and the list goes on. All the amenities work as they should. The A/C has not been charged of late. Mechanically, it is sound. 413 ci v8 engine. No rust or rust repairs. The car is driven weekly. I am advised by diehard Imperial enthusiasts that this is as close to original condtion as one could expect to find after 50 years of being loved. Lots of maintenance has been done, but I won't bore you here. Just know that you can get in a drive without concern. Take a look at the photos. They are worth 1,000 words. If I write more, I'm sure to be corrected by someone who knows Imperials better than I. (why do people love to do that??). Ask questions. If I don't know the answer, I'll attempt to find out. This opportunity will not last. For sale locally, so eBay offer may end early. NO TRADES - NO LOW BALL OFFERS - NO BROKERS |

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.
How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution
Sun, 30 Dec 2012The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.
I sold my Viper, but the memories I'll keep
Thu, 30 May 2013The following is written by auto industry veteran Tow Kowaleski. The words are his own, but the memories now belong to everyone thanks to his willingness to share. If you're an industry veteran with a story to share, contact us at tipsATautoblogDOTcom.
It became the flame that started the fire of belief in the next life of Chrysler.
I just sold a car. Nothing new. Millions do it every day. But my car was a 1995 Dodge Viper, so maybe it was a bit more unique since just 12,000 were built. And like others selling a car that's been a part of the family for close to 20 years, this was a confluence of emotions for me. I was sad to see it go, but happy to have the cash and one less big, shiny, under-utilized object in my life.
