Up for sale is a truly beautiful, rather rare, piece of "Art Deco" automotive history! 1950 Chrysler Windsor Royal Club Coupe. This original survivor is in remarkable condition having travelled only 71,300 miles in the last 64 years. The car was driven a conservative 43,000 miles up to 1983 by the original owner. Upon her passing it was passed to her daughter and son inlaw and was given a light face-lift consisting of some mechanical updating and a few paint touch-ups. The car was used for more than 30 years as a Sunday drive and show car staying with the original family. All of its life it has been garaged and pampered. The car has been serviced regularly throughout the years with some oil changes having less than 100 miles driven. The paint is close to 2/3 original with a few blow ins and touch-ups over the years to keep it pristine. The interior is all original with only the slightest of fading with no rips. The seats have always been covered over with plaid matching blankets front and back. The door panels are all original also with only light wear on the drivers door. The carpet is presentable but a recent vacuuming revealed some fraying and a few un-ravels. ( New carpets have been ordered) It has the original rubber floor mats with the "Royal" crown on both as with instrument cluster. The headliner, sun visors and arm-rests are original and in fabulous condition. The rest of the interior is in super condition, also all the chrome, buttons, knobs and handles are all great. The trunk is all original from the jack and tire, right down to the original trunk mat. The paint, as stated, is mostly original with only a few touch-ups. There are a few knicks and light scratches that do not show in the photos, but can be seen at 6-12 inches. The undercarriage is almost factory fresh!! The dealer-applied asphault undercoating is quite dry from so many years in Nevada and California and is easily scraped off. Under the undercoating it is factory paint with no rust!! Truly remarkable!! The Chrome is the real tell-tale of pride of ownership. The chrome is nearly flawless and is super bright and shiney. The rear bumper was rechromed 20+ years ago for the usual exhaust discoloration and oxidization. It still looks great! All of the factory options work! Radio was overhauled in the 80's and all new tubes put in. It sounds fabulous! All gauges work perfectly and are super accurate. The interior chrome is stunning. The 2-speed electric wipers work great and park when turned off. The steering wheel has a dozen or so hairline cracks in the acryllic. The rad and heater core were replaced a few years ago as were belts and hoses. The 3 speed dual fans blow hard and hot when required. The brake system was overhauled 2 years ago also as was the fluid-drive transmission. It is a true Timex. Last summer it drove over 5000 miles on a 3 week family trip at 70 mph. This past month we drove it 2000 miles on another... 500+ miles were in torrential rains with no issues. Tires are only a few years old and in great shape. The car still has its original headlights. If you look closely at the center of the lights you will see the focus beam center. All other light lenses are in outstanding condition with little to no crazing. Original manuals and brochures are with the car. All systems are in top shape. I would not hesitate to drive coast to coast!! Registered appraisal of $29,900.00 DOT Safety inspected last week. The car gets rave reviews and thumbs up everywhere we go. While it is not a Concourse vehicle, it has many trophies and accolades. There are another 60 plus photos available for email. Any questions feel free to call 905-717-2431 I will help with shipping arrangements. There are some spare parts that go with the car. ( Hoses, lines, exhaust, factory original spotlight, wiper blades, car cover and more) The pictures speak for themselves.

Detroit Three autoworkers could get huge bonuses

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

For a long time, being a line worker for one of the Detroit Three has meant living with an uncertain future. With the health of American automakers on the rise, though, things are also starting to look up for the men and women building the cars. The latest sign that things aren't bad? Big profit-sharing checks.
According to The Detroit News, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler could end up paying over $800 million to 130,000 workers as part of a profit-sharing plan. According to The News, the economic impact of these profits in Michigan alone could exceed $400 million, besting the NFL's Super Bowl, MLB's All-Star Game and the NHL's Winter Classic for their economic impact.
This is the third straight year the Detroit Three have issued profit-sharing checks to UAW employees, and for many workers, the checks are as close as they'll get to a raise, due to the most recent contract between the union and the manufacturers. On average, employees at GM and Ford receive $1 for every $1 million in North American (not just the US) pre-tax profits. Chrysler, meanwhile, gets a similar deal, although the Auburn Hills-based company calculates profit sharing using 85 percent of the brand's global profits.

Wards names its 2015 10 Best Interiors list

Fri, Apr 17 2015

Wards Automotive has named the winners of its 10 Best Interior awards, covering a wide but affordable array of vehicles. Where last year's list contained two six-figure vehicles, including the $372,800 Rolls-Royce Wraith, this year's is, well, a whole lot more reasonable. The publication lists the Mercedes-Benz C400 at $65,000 (which seems off), making it the most expensive vehicle here. That said, we'd argue that the entire C-Class line deserves to make this year's list, owing to its varied and high-quality selection of materials. The other vehicle to break the $60,000 mark, meanwhile, is the $60,675 Ford F-150 King Ranch, which has 327,000 pounds of leather lining its interior. Only one other German car, the BMW i3, and one other pickup truck, the GMC Canyon, managed to make this year's list. Here's the full list of this year's winners: 2014 BMW i3 ($52,550) 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum ($51,175) 2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch ($60,675) 2015 GMC Canyon SLT ($40,465) 2015 Honda Fit EX-L ($21,590) 2015 Jeep Renegade Limited ($33,205) 2015 Kia Sedona SXL ($43,295) 2016 Mazda6 Grand Touring ($33,395) 2015 Mercedes C400 ($65,000) 2015 Nissan Murano SL ($41,905) See what we mean about the mainstream vehicles? Not only is there a distinct lack of luxury brands, it's the price of some of the vehicles that surprise. The Honda Fit, Jeep Renegade and Mazda6 are very reasonably priced, especially when you compare Wards price with the starting price. The Renegade Limited starts at less than $25,000, the Mazda at less than $22K and the Fit at under $16,000. Head over to Wards for a more detailed explanation of why each vehicle won.

MotorWeek retro review revisits the Chrysler PT Cruiser

Mon, Jun 29 2015

I have a long history with the Chrysler PT Cruiser. My mom was working at Automobile magazine when it launched, and she brought home their long-term tester all the time. My buddy Adam's mom bought one in the early 2000s, and I drove it on many an occasion. When I left Winding Road in early 2010 and joined Autoblog, the car I got on Day 1 was... well, I think you can guess. I will never forget driving that 2010 PT Cruiser to a rest stop outside of Toledo, Ohio, to meet then editor-in-chief John Neff and buy his old camera. I will also never forget the look on Neff's face when he pulled into the parking lot in his 1991 Ford Taurus SHO, saw the PT, and started laughing. I have always hated this car. But when it launched around the turn of the millennium, it was a huge deal – not just for Chrysler, but for the industry. Retro styling was all the rage, and the PT had it in spades. On top of that, it was seriously functional Â– one of the first widely accepted tall hatchbacks in an era where Americans wanted sedans. MotorWeek has now dug up its original PT Cruiser review for its latest retro review offering. Watch the video above to see what the ever-charismatic John Davis and his crew thought of the PT way back when it was actually relevant.
