 Up for auction is the rarest car I have ever owned, and I've owned quite a few. Only 205 of them made,this could your only chance ever to own 1 It is a 1952 chrysler imperial crown edition. This car had it all back in the day, and if you were driving it you were somebody! It was equipped with a 331 Hemi with a fluid drive transmission. Car has more chrome than should be legal. The car runs and drives like an absolute dream. I was personally amazed when I drove it for the 1st time. If you really want to know how luxurious this car was, let me give you an example: This cars msrp was $4627. In 1953 the 1st corvettes came out with an msrp of $3498. over $1000 difference and that was an insane amount of money back then. Car has factory jack in the trunk along with a few spare parts (extra taillights in excellent condition, 2 new mirrors, 1 taillight lens, pieces that go on valve covers to cover spark plugs, few extra belts, spare 2 bbl carb that I believe is factory). Motor has been rebuilt because when I was going through the trunk all of the old parts were in there including valves, valve springs, timing chain and gears and pistons.  All glass is good except for the pass side front it has a crack. Doors all function properly and so do door and quarter glass. Factory power steering. Gauges all work properly. I drove it down the road with no problems.  Car has very minor exterior rust, and little rust in the floorboards but that's it. Trunk is in exceptional condition. Headlights, Taillights work, dash lights. This is a 2-owner car, first owner bought it and then the man I bought it from was his nephew and he has had it since '87. There are crowns all over this car, wheels, hood, decklid, gauge cluster, has the factory crown key. The pictures dont do it justice. Clean Mo title in hand. May consider trades. If you have any questions feel free to email me of give me a call at 573-776-5405. Thanks for looking, Morgan
By the way, Elvis drove one...

Chrysler recalling nearly half a million vehicles with active head restraints

Thu, 04 Jul 2013

Chrysler has announced that it will recall roughly 490,000 vehicles around the globe due to a potential active head-restraint problem. The problem is being blamed on "potentially faulty microcontrollers" that may keep the vehicles' anti-whiplash active safety feature from working properly. Chrysler says it has no knowledge of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. Models covered under the recall include the 2011-2013 Chrysler Sebring, 200 (shown) and Dodge Avenger models, along with 2011-2013 Jeep Liberty and 2011-2012 Dodge Nitro SUVs.
Interestingly, the Pentastar notes that the faulty part came from an (unnamed) supplier who furnished the parts in the wake of Japan's 2011 earthquake and tsunami, natural disasters which decimated the world's supply of microcontrollers.
Chrysler says of those nearly half a million vehicles affected, around 442,000 of them reside in the US, with an additional 25,000 in Canada and 10,000 units in Mexico. A further 12,000 models were shipped beyond the NAFTA region. The Auburn Hills automaker will begin sending out recall notices shortly, and technicians will upgrade the system software or replace the microcontroller as necessary at no cost to owners.

Germany threatens to ban FCA vehicles over diesel emissions dispute

Tue, May 24 2016

Germany is threatening to ban sales of FCA products over diesel emissions. According to the newspaper Bild Am Sonntag, Germany's Federal Motor Transport Authority found evidence of a so-called defeat device that shuts down certain emissions controls after running for 22 minutes. A standard diesel emissions test in the European Union reportedly takes 20 minutes to complete. FCA denies the allegations. "We believe all our vehicles respect EU emissions standards and we believe Italian regulators are the competent authority to evaluate this," the company said in a statement. The latter part of that statement drew ire from German authorities, especially after FCA declined to meet with German transport minister Alexander Dobrindt to discuss the issue. Graziano Delrio, the Italian Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, vowed to work with German authorities on behalf of FCA. According to EU law, FCA is required to homologate its vehicles in Italy because that's where its regional operations are based. When will the diesel-scented soap opera end? We wish we knew, but our Magic 8 Ball is covered in soot.

UAW chooses FCA as lead bargaining company

Mon, Sep 14 2015

The United Auto Workers has chosen Fiat Chrysler Automobiles as its lead bargaining company as it seeks to finalize new contracts with the 140,000 or so workers represented by the union. That doesn't mean the UAW won't continue to talk with Ford and General Motors. "All three companies have been working with UAW bargaining teams toward a collective bargaining agreement and continue to do so," UAW President Dennis Williams said in a statement. It does mean, however, that any deal the UAW strikes with FCA will form the basis of bargaining talks with the other two American automakers. Contracts between the UAW and the Detroit Three automakers are set to expire tonight at midnight. If no deal is made, both parties may vote to extend the previous contract. Industry analysts polled by The Detroit News suggest that a deal with FCA might be the most difficult to reach, since it is the smallest and least profitable of the three US car companies, and because of its high percentage of second-tier workers. There's a super short statement on the matter from the UAW, and there's an equally concise confirmation from FCA. Feel free to read them below. Detroit – The UAW this afternoon announced that FCA US LLC will be the lead target in Big Three auto talks. "All three companies are working hard toward a collective bargaining agreement. At this time, the UAW has selected FCA US LLC to be the lead bargaining company," said Dennis Williams, President of the UAW. "All three companies have been working with UAW bargaining teams toward a collective bargaining agreement and continue to do so." -------- Statement regarding the Status of Contract Talks between FCA US LLC and the UAW FCA US LLC confirms that it has been selected as the company to set pattern on a collective bargaining agreement with the UAW. As negotiations are ongoing, the Company can offer no further comment at this time.
