1955 Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe Convertible RARE RARE
Up for auction is a 1955 Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe Convertible with a 331 Hemi engine. Only 946 New Yorker convertibles were produced in 1955. Very few of this year and model remain. According to an internet post a few years ago, only 15 exist worldwide. The car has been owned and stored by me under cover for the last 25 years. This is the same model and color that Ernest Hemmingway ordered and imported to Cuba in 1955. This one is Vin #5539793. The paint code on the data plate is 48, body Desert Sand with a Black spear insert. The interior is Navajo Orange and Desert Sand. The seats were reupholstered in vinyl sometime in the past. Presently, the car is painted in gray epoxy primer. It is a running car with a Chrysler Firepower 331 cu. in. Hemi. serial # NE5548844. I believe this to be the original engine. It is equipped with a four barrel carburetor and dual exhausts. The engine starts and runs smoothly and can be driven onto a trailer or flatbed truck. The gas tank has been restored and installed. The brakes are not functional and need rebuilding. The emergency brake is functional and will allow the car to be moved and stopped. The power top, power windows and power seat are not electrically connected. All wiring is present. While needing a full restoration, the car is complete except for a few missing items such as hood ornament, horn ring and button, top boot cover and radio antenna. Body work required includes right rear quarter panel(see picture), a 6"x6" cut out located behind the right side convertible top hydraulic cylinder which needs a patch. The spare tire well has a rust through. Included with the car is a usable spare tire well. The frame and cross members are in excellent condition. A body support(outrigger) requires replacement. The interior floors, trunk, door and doorjambs are in good solid condition. All glass is present. A front bumper piece containing the parking lamps will need to be attached. All pieces are included. The odometer reads 09107, actual mileage unknown. All four tires hold air. This is an opportunity to own and restore an exceptional and very desirable rare mid-fifties Chrysler convertible. Don't miss this one. HAPPY BIDDING!! Items sold by me are used, old, as is, where is. No guarantees are expressed or implied. PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING.

Fiat board makes Chrysler merger official, approves $5.4B bond sale
Mon, 16 Jun 2014Fiat's board of directors has officially approved the merger plan that will see the conglomerate's automotive operations merged with Chrysler into the new Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
The plan essentially provides a road map for the structure of the new company. It includes provisions for Fiat shareholders - one Fiat share will translate to one share of FCA common stock. The new company will also include a loyalty voting structure, which will provide for shareholders of Fiat stock or those that have held FCA stock for at least three years. According to the plan, these shareholders would see their voting power double, with two votes for every share of FCA's common stock. The overall merger plan still needs to be approved by the company's shareholders.
In other Fiat-related news, the company's board has announced a bond issuance of four billion euro ($5.4 billion). The new bonds should provide the company with a degree of flexibility in refinancing debts associated with the merger plan.
Fiat Chrysler will pay $70M to settle safety disclosure suit
Thu, Dec 10 2015FCA US will pay a $70 million civil penalty to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for failing to submit Early Warning Report data going back to 2003. The automaker will also provide any missing data since that time, and an auditor will monitor future compliance. NHTSA says the failures to report this information "stem from problems in FCA's electronic system for monitoring and reporting safety data, including improper coding and failure to account for changes in brand names." There are no allegations of any intentional deception by the automaker. NHTSA will wrap up the latest fine with the previous consent order against FCA US earlier this year for the automaker's handling of 23 recalls. The company will know owe the safety regulator a total of $140 million in cash, and there will be possibility of $35 million more in deferred penalties if FCA doesn't comply with the agency's requests. In a statement about the fine to Autoblog, FCA US said the automaker "accepts these penalties and is revising its processes to ensure regulatory compliance." The company strongly believes that it didn't miss any safety problems over the time with this problem. Early Warning Reports include information on deaths, injuries, crashes, and other potential safety concerns, and NHTSA often uses the data in investigations for possible recalls. In September, the safety agency first announced the automaker failed to submit these documents. At the time, the regulator's administrator Mark Rosekind promised to "take appropriate action after gathering additional information on the scope and causes of this failure." FCA US also released a statement then about the lapse and said the company notified NHTSA immediately after discovering the problem. FCA US is not the first company to run afoul of NHTSA's reporting requirement. The agency fined Triumph Motorcycles and Honda this year for similar lapses. It also punished Ferrari in 2014. U.S. DOT Fines Fiat Chrysler $70 million for Failure to Provide Early Warning Report Data to NHTSA WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has imposed a $70 million civil penalty on Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) for the auto manufacturer's failure to report legally required safety data. The penalty follows FCA's admission in September that it had failed, over several years, to provide Early Warning Report data to NHTSA as required by the TREAD Act of 2000.
