1957 Chevrolet Belair
This awesome restoration was done in Florida then brought to Ohio. It is a frame off restoration and a good one. No way of knowing what was done to bottom of car but shows no sign of needing anything. All metal in bottom and trunk area is very nice. The dead on paint color was used. 1957 Tropical Turquoise, very very eye pleasing. All the glass looks to be new, very clear, no fogging, crack or chips. Looks to have slight tint. The complete interior has been redone. New seat covers done to factory original, New headliner. New Carpet. New Package tray in rear window. New trunk mat. It comes with the very hard to find factory bumper jack. Comes with factory spinner hubcaps, tissues dispenser. All the stainless is present and in nice conditon. A lot of the trim looks to be new-like all the side aluminum. All the V's are bright gold. Everything seems to work on car. Horn, lights, gas gauge, temperature gauge, windshield wipers all work. Heather fan works. Factory clock does not seem to be working. The radio is some after market crap. This original type car is screaming out for a radio that looks like it belongs here. Bumpers of course have been replated and look nice.
The previous owner wanted more than just a show car. He wanted to drive to shows and cruise ins so he got caught up in spending money. LOTS!!! He put on a new set of radial tires, then had a complete set of original type seat belts. He spent the extra money to eliminate the original power glide transmission. He added the later model turbo tranny-a nice upgrade. He also put in the correct shift indicator in the dash to match tranny. Then the BIG investment!- he had a shop in Cincinnati do a complete overhaul on the original 1957 power pack engine. Today we got under the car to verify this was a genuine 57 block. From the bottom we can see there are no holes in side of block for side motor mounts so we are satisfied the motor is what we were told it is. An original 57 power pack dual exhaust motor. While under the car we did detect on the driver side floor pan area there has been repair work then blacked out and not perfect but acceptable to most. This car is ready to enjoy as-is. Car has the correct original air cleaner, generator and looks very nice and original under the hood. If you wish to do the buy it now price i will have the have the local shipper here in town put the car in your driveway at no cost to you. do the Buy it Now price shipping will be included in the price. call 812-537-0585 for questions.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
