It is impossible to speak of a classic fifties or sixties
Chevrolet without talking about the iconic 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible.
To many enthusiasts it is the ultimate 50’s Cruiser. Its styling is timeless.
And, OH those tail fins!! Plus, take a look at the hood with those gun sites! This 57 Convertible was the subject of a body-off
restoration several years ago, but has only traveled 180 miles since. The miles
are mainly the de-bugging process and car shows. Things in particular I want
you to notice are the dual exhaust pipes with the proper exhaust manifolds, the
power pack heads connected to the correct 57 block and a very nice working
Rochester carburetor. Please also notice the correct black air cleaner and the
correct valve covers adorned in Chevy orange paint. This classic is also
correctly finished in the red oxide primer on the floors and has had all the
suspension items front and rear redone correctly. This iconic legend is absolutely beautiful as you can
plainly see and would fit right in with your collection of classic cars. The
stance on this 57 Chevy Convertible is fantastic and it really looks great going
down the road, especially with those nice wide whites it is sporting. It even
looks great with the white top up which of course matches perfectly with the
wide white tires. We reserve the right the end the auction at any time because this car is for sale locally. You do not get to be the high bidder and then inspect the vehicle. Inspect the vehicle before the auction ends if you wish. |

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.

Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video
Mon, 11 Feb 2013If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
