Yet another collection of neglected Mopars, but this time with a twist. The owner was NOT hording them and apparently agreed to sell. Let’s hope they went to good homes. See them at Cars in Barns. More pics after the jump.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Super Bowl Ads
Well, no one saw that Maserati Ghibli ad coming. So that was a bit of a surprise. The 200 and Jeep ads were decent but not terribly thrilling. But you could say the same for the game. Does Bob Dylan make a good pitchman? See all three ads after the jump!

Alfa Romeo RWD Platform for FCA?
Boy, FCA is gonna take some getting used to… Anyway, Alfa Romeo, also a part of Fiat, is close to rolling out a new rear wheel drive platform that will find its way under Chrysler and Dodge vehicles and is said to be competitive with sedans from BMW and Mercedes. There’s also talk that this new platform may be the basis for the new….wait for it…. SRT Barracuda (that rumor won’t see to die).
