Hope for Chrysler?

Not the car, that's for sure - the 2002 PT Cruiser my s.o. HAD to have.

But the customer service. I emailed Chrysler asking for a breakdown of the VIN.

An hour later, I got a call. Chrysler let me know that the VIN breakdown AND the build sheet were waiting in my inbox, and asked if I had any other questions.

Impressive.

Pete

I had a '93 Concorde, w/the 3.5 engine. VERY nice car, except for a design flaw in the way the door frame & the weatherstripping/window channel fit together...Just on SOME '93s... Never really fit quite right...But otherwise, it ran like a Scalded Dawg, & gave excellent service.

Well if I had a 1959 Imperial I'd be a happy camper.

Heck I'd 'settle' for a 66 New Yorker. Was that a big block I just heard?

But the PT...

My take, it should be called the PoC.Yes it needs control arm bushings. Yes it needs the strange rear suspension bushings. Yes it has the bumper discolorations from the factory. Yes it has the rubber band drivetrain.

But she likes it a lot. I'd better get a lift in the garage.

That series of Imperials were the first series-production cars, IIRC, to feature curved side glass...Seems like I remember something about it being difficult/expensive to produce, the next cars to use it were the T-Birds & Lincolns in '61.

Another thing that curved side windows did was make the doors very thick. You got a wide car outside but not so wide inside.

If my '09 Challenger R/T is any indication-----Yeah, Chrysler just might survive.
