how many miles to the gallon did a 1963 imperial lebaron?

Question 1
how many miles to the gallon did a 1963 imperial lebaron?...  i need this answer for a report that i have to do

Answers
1)   My friend had one that got 14 mpg on the highway.. - SVOMAN

2)   12 to 14 depending how you drive... - Johnny Rotten

3)   All full size cars around that year and earlier got an average of 15 miles to a gallon. They were big, all had nylon or rayon tires that unlike the steal belted that came out in the early 70's weren't as good in fuel mileage. The engines weren't near as efficient as today's engines. Chrysler made the Imperial, but I never heard it called Lebaron. In those days gas costs about 35 cents a gallon. It didn't start going up until the 'fuel shortage' in 1973. - Jackolantern

4)   Chances are, it had a 413 CID engine. (Cubic Inch Displacement.) It may have gotten 9, even under the most frugal drivers right foot. - hemi426_207

Question 2
Looking at buying a PT Cruiser?...  It's getting to that time where I'm thinking about trading up to a newer car. I've done some online research of my local car dealers and I keep coming across PT Cruisers. For the most part they meet my criteria (newer than 2002, under 100,000 miles, under $5,500).

I can't find anything good or bad about them conclusively. Does anyone have any information regarding these cars? Do they hold up well over time? My current car just hit the 12 year old mark and it's starting to nickel and dime me. How are they on MPG? Are there any glaring defects (ex: timing belt always goes out at 75,000 mile, notorious for electrical problems, etc.) that I should take into consideration? What should I expect if I get a used PT Cruiser?

Answers
1)   mostly every car has the timing belt every car has breaks ,oil,tires,belts just have the car checked out by a mechanic before you buy - pickmefirstplz

2)   those cars really aren't chrysler's strong point. I don't think they're to great of car myself and it's mopar or no car with me. they've got a little 4 cylinder in them so they're not bad on gas if I recall right. however they've got a lot of fiberglass on them...they may have changed that over the years but the last one I seen (was my mom's friends) and it was a lot of fiberglass. and that needs to be taken into account it's not like sheet metal where if you hit a bird and put a dent in it all you have to do is get the dent popped out. I'm good friends with the guys at the shop I take my truck to and the people at the service department at the dodge dealer close to my house and I've never really heard them complain to much about those we usually talk about every mopar on the road when I see them. The main thing is if that body's still mostly fiberglass it's expensive to fix. and fiberglass isn't like sheet metal once it cracks the more it vibrates the bigger the crack is going to get...and I don't care what anybody says I've seen it happen on the hoods on semi's which are also all fiberglass. Somebody'll hit a small deer or something and it'll crack it nothing serious maybe a 3 inch crack or something like that but after 2 weeks that 3 inch crack turns into an 8 or 9 inch crack so it's just something that's got to be taken into account when you think about it. personally I wouldn't recommend one and research something a little different but it's your decision at the end of the day. at least you're not asking about one of those smart cars...get clobbered by a pete running 55 in one of them and you wouldn't be walking away. but it's your decision on what you feel is going to be best for you so go with your gut if you have to. and remember if something doesn't seem right walk away from it. - Copenhagen ring

3)   The problem with the PT Cruiser is that they made so many, and had really no "good" characteristics about them other than looks. Now they are tired looking, too many people owned one, and nobody wants one. This is why the secondhand market is full of them. I would not recommend these due to their poor driving dynamics and lack of power. Additionally, in a small Chrysler product, it's likely to develop major problems around 100K miles. I would suggest a different small car, perhaps a Corolla or Civic, perhaps a Sentra. All of these are going to offer better driving dynamics, be more reliable, and just as efficient. Also, they will run longer, and you will get more money back in your pocket when you go to get rid of it. Keep looking for something else. - CL

4)   The non-turbo PT Cruiser has a 2010 Car Reliability GPA of 1.13 (on the standard scale of 0.00 to 4.00) over an 8-year data history. In other words, in a letter grade, the PT Cruiser's reliability earns a D, for reported frequency of serious problems. Furthermore, the 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 nonturbo PT Cruisers are on Consumer Reports' 2010 list of Worst Cars, and the 2003, 2004, and 2005 turbo PT Cruisers are on CR's 2010 list of Worst Cars as well. - RZ

Question 4
cost for brakes and rotors cost for a 2004 chrysler town and country?...  

Answers
1)   i had a 4 wheel brake job done on my 99 s 10 chevy...new brake pads and rotors,,,550 dollars - pedro7of9

2)   Cost for front and rear and install at a national chain brake shop, around $500.

Parts and install yourself, around $100 + an hour of your time.

If you're not comfortable working on it yourself then find a shop that will at least let you bring your own parts. Rockauto.com is a good source for cheap, brand name parts with simple drop down menus for parts that will fit your car. You'll find parts that the brake shops want to charge $80 for are only $15. Just bringing your own parts will get it down from $500 to around $250 or less. - Steve

3)   Are you going to do the work yourself? If so, parts should run 45.00 bucks for the entire set of pads front and back, about 25 bucks for shoes if you have rear drum brakes. You should spend about 90 bucks on two front rotors and about 80 bucks on rear rotors. about 250 bucks in parts probably 1.75 hours labor to install. Tops. - Slardi

Question 5
Is a Pt Cruiser considered a chick car?...  I like the looks of those cars and see more women driving them then men. So would it be considered a chick car. thanks

Answers
1)   I guess it could be considered a chick car, since mostly women drive them and they're pretty cute. They're also astonishingly uncomfortable just to sit in... so keep that in mind! - Lola

2)   hell yes - Indy

3)   i'd consider it to be an idiot/douchbage car with no specific gender - Gob
