  • Howard Kroplick and the 1937 Chrysler Imperial Town Car  Image: Jim Donnelly for Hemmings Motor News

    Last year, Howard Kroplick, a vintage car collector from Long Island, New York, acquired a significant piece of Chrysler history. Purchased from the Vanderbilt Museum, the 1937 Chrysler Imperial Town Car was originally ordered (to custom specifications) by none other than Walter P. Chrysler. As Wheels explains, the car was donated to the Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum in 1959, a gift from car collector Harry Gilbert. Displayed sporadically until 1986 (the last time the car’s straight-eight engine was started), the car never received the kind of care necessary for preservation. Enter...

Until then, we'll have to continue to live off of the teasers Nissan provides us. What's better than looking at pictures of the 2013 Audi RS5? How about ten minutes of video...

Where's the guilt? So, this week we'll be returning to Detroit and a vehicle that's both completely ridiculous and so...

  • 2005 Chrysler 300C once leased by Barack Obama

    An eBay seller looking to capitalize on President Barack Obama's former ownership of a 2005 Chrysler 300C with a starting price on the car's auction of $1 million has ended up with nothing to show for it but a healthy spate of media coverage. The car's auction history shows no one bid on the car, despite the seller's declaration that the $1 million starting price was "not a joke," and subsequent comparison to sales of the cars of other political notables, including Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Popes Benedict and John Paul II, and Adolf Hitler. As we noted in our original story on the sale, Obama...
