1957 Chevy Resto-Mod. The "Duke" as it is nick-named on the hood is something you might see from Counting Cars. It's mean and sinister looking and it is awesome to drive.
Completely restored with new inner and outer fenders, quarters, floors, trunk etc. all the metal is done right and looks great, especially with the "Lamborghini Matte Black" finish. The "Duke" is powered by a 350 chevy with some goodies, headers, chrome, and a Turbo Hydromatic 350 trans, runs and shifts really smooth and of course it runs on pump gas . It has a large aluminum radiator with an electric fan to keep it cool.
'"This car is set up for a big block if you wanted.. The frame is cross tied and axels are tied and secured as well. The car IS NOT Tubbed so it is a great cruiser, not a straight liner car.. The duke has a newer suspension including rack and pinion steering, four wheel disc brakes, custom suspension around the car. It is smooth. The "Duke" has the door handles shaved off the car and there are electric plunger type door openers below mounted in the rockers. The "Duke's interior is totally custom wrapped in custom Black Leather that is professionally done and looks great. The dash sports both old and new gauges chrome steering column and wheel, and a push button start! This car totally rules any car show as it is truly one of a kind yet tastefully done.
The "Duke" is one bad *ss resto 57.

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
