 I believe so strongly in this beautiful 1956 Imperial Southampton two door hardtop that I am offering it at no reserve.  Why do I feel so strongly about this car, well let me tell you about it.  First of all it is very complete with a mostly original interior.  I say mostly because two panels on the front seat have been replaced with the incorrect material.  When I look at a car I simply get goose bumps if the interior is basically all original.  In this case we have original leather, original back seat in its entirety, original headliner, original door panels, quarter panels, original carpet, etc.  Even if it’s worn it provides perfect samples so if one is going to replace it they can do it right.  Then let’s look at the exterior.  Is it complete with all its trim even down to correct license holders?  In this case yes.  Do all the panels fit and is there evidence of previous accident damage or rust repair.  In this case neither rust thru or accident damage.  The paint.  The top has been refinished in its correct color and is superb.   The bottom is a mix of spot work obviously done over its lifetime but a nice match and best said presentable.  Good enough for a show but you will not win.  Engine compartment.  Original to a fault.  Notice that even the spark plug wire covers are in place.  Often missing and hard to find.  The carb has been upgraded but most will not know and it does retain its correct air filter.  Overall mechanical performance is simply outstanding.  There are minor brake issues but should go away with driving.  This Imperial has barely been driven since 2009.  Niceties.  To begin with most everything works.  All exterior lights work, park, head, stop,, turn and braking lights work as original.  All gauges except a tempermental fuel gauge work.  Dash lights including map light work – see pictures.  The radio did work but does not except to come on and buzz.  The signal seek works but will not select a station.  The power antenna works great and when up reaches to mars.  The trunk, all original coverings and still very presentable.  What have I left out?  I hope you get the picture of just how unique this gorgeous Imperial is.  If my dissertation doesn’t suffice please review the pictures carefully.  This is a stunning car even with its faults.  It is a rare car, ask when you lost saw one.  Is it complete, yes even the jack and tools are in place.  Oh yes those wire wheels.  They are not original to the car but are correct Chrysler wire wheels with reproduction center caps.  The tires are ancient bias ply 820-15’s.  They have not been balanced and are old enough to be unsafe for a road trip but they have great tread.  The wheel and tire package complement the originality of the Imperial.  As always it is impossible to provide everything without going on and on so if there is something that you need to know simply ask.  By the way this is a west coast car as it come from Spokane, Washington.  It is exciting to offer this Imperial and the no reserve speaks for itself.  Thanks for looking

 Auto blogSun, Dec 14 2014Since Takata has decided not to take the lead concerning potential issues with its airbag inflators, the automakers have. Perhaps that's unsurprising, since it's the automakers, not Takata, that will take a beating on the dealership floor if consumers decide its models are a health hazards. The Detroit News reports that Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru met in a hotel conference room near the Detroit Metropolitan Airport last week to sort out a way to understand the technical issues involved. So far, faulty airbag inflators have been ruled the cause of five deaths and 50 injuries around the world, but neither Takata nor investigators understands exactly why the inflators are malfunctioning. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently asked Takata to issue a national recall, Takata declined, citing a minuscule failure rate and the fact that it's still investigating the issue. Toyota and Honda then made an industry-wide appeal for "a coordinated, comprehensive testing program" that would pinpoint the problem inflators and get them replaced, and that's what the Detroit meeting was about. Numerous issues, however, will make this a long row to hoe: simply getting the parts to replace the nearly 20 million inflators in cars recalled around the world so far - even working with other suppliers - will take a years, but more importantly, no one knows if the replacement inflators currently being installed will suffer the same issue. Answers will hopefully come quickly with Takata, the ten automakers and NHTSA all independently investigating the problem.Wed, 15 Oct 2014 Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hauling a multitude of modified models to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas this November, and the company is releasing the first teasing sketches of many of them.Wed, Jun 8 2016Unfortunately, FCA isn't giving many solid details on any of the concepts other than saying the vehicles from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat all benefit from tuning from its Mopar performance brand. The teaser photos include a sinister-looking Chrysler 200S, Fiat 500 Abarth with two-tone paint and a scorpion on the hood, a red and black 500L, seemingly two different takes on the Jeep Renegade, a green Dodge Challenger wearing the T/A badge, an orange and black Dart, a very neon Charger, just the outline of a red and black Viper, a Ram ProMaster in Mopar livery and a Ram pickup called the Outdoorsman.
 Take a look through the gallery to see what you think of the sketches for these concepts, and scroll down for the full announcement from FCA.
 The Eindhoven University of Technology in The Netherlands has created the Storm Pulse electric touring motorcycle. Its 28.5-kWh modular battery pack provides 236 miles of riding on a single charge. The batteries can be charged on a standard household outlet, and can be swapped out in a matter of minutes. The Storm Eindhoven team is raising money to take the prototype bike on a world tour this summer, covering 40,000 kilometers (24,855 miles) in 80 days, not just to show off the Pulse, but also to demonstrate the feasibility of electric mobility. Check it out in the video above, and read more at Technologic Vehicles. Chile is generating so much solar power that it is giving it away for free. Thanks to its well-developed solar infrastructure – which includes 29 solar farms with 15 more in the works – feeding its central grid (as well as problems distributing it to other parts of the country), the surplus means energy prices have dropped to zero in certain locales for well over a hundred days of the year. Chile is now trying to improve its transmission networks, though lack of revenue could slow future investment in solar power. Read more at Green Car Reports. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is reportedly talking to Uber Technologies about a possible partnership regarding driverless cars. Anonymous sources close to the matter have said that a venture could be announced by the end of 2016. Uber is also in talks with other automakers, according to one source. Having access to Uber's massive fleet of vehicles around the world provides large opportunities for gathering data and improving systems. Sources say Fiat has also been in contact with Amazon about autonomous delivery vehicles. Read more at Automotive News Europe.
