I have beautifully looking, sounding, driving, and handling 1955 Chevy 210 Club Coupe with the Delray Trim Package. This car enjoyed a ground up restoration a little over 5 years ago and has only been driven to and from local car shows. This car has the best of both worlds with all original 1955 Chevy looks but state of the art, late model performance and comfort upgrades. No money was spared in this resto-mod and it rides down the road like my new Lexus. Newly registered, come and get it before an ebay bidder does.

I haven't seen many 55s cleaner than my 55. I would grade this 9.5 out of a 10 and 10 being show car ready. It needs interior windlace trim but I am ordering that now and will replace it. With this type of restoration there is too much to list and make sense of from a $45k restoration but here are the highlights. The new factory tinted glass, 4 wheel power disc brakes, power steering and tubular front suspension makes this car awesome to drive, it feels so good around turns, clovers, or winding roads.

I will sell it but would have preferred a trade for a 1932-1934 three or five window coupe and for this 55 to find a true 50s Delray lover.

Exterior:
- Beautiful Acrylic Urethane factory Neptune Green and white paint job. Body was shaved of all emblems, ornaments, and keyhole before blocked to perfection responsible for its wave free finish. All trim and drive train removed and replaced for painting, and the finish is a 9.9 out of 10.
- New B.F. Goodrich 215/65P-15R Wide Whitewall Tires on new Chrome Rims.
- All new factory tinted glass, windshields, and rubber seals.
- 1 piece bumpers added.

Electrical:

- The electrical system is perfect. A new wiring harness and fuse box was installed and integrated with the Chrome Plated Flaming River Tilt Steering Column and custom steering wheel. All lights work well inside and out, heater and fan controls work well and are smooth in operation.

- Car was converted to a 12V system with a High Output Chrome Alternator. The horn stopped working but I will investigate it. I was also told the Delray model was suppose to have a cigarette lighter but this does not and I have not investigated where it goes.

- Winshield wiper motor is new electric working great.



 Interior:
- Original factory Delray Trim interior that came with the car but is in great condition for its age. Driver's seat repaired but everything else is in good condition. New factory style carpet and floor mats.
- All interior trim painted or polished Sea Mist Green.
- Pioneer AM/FM, CD, Aux, USB, and Bluetooth Stereo with Cellular hands free
- Electric pop trunk button under dash
- Factory trunk mat, spare tire, and bumper jack.

Drive Train:
- Complete Power Steering conversion with new steering box, pitman arm, idler arm and center link.

- Complete 4 Wheel Power Disc Brakes, minimum offset stock spindle wheel kit, rear brake kit for original rear end 8" booster assembly and pre-bent hard line kit. This drastically improves the ride, braking, steering and handling.

- Front Tubular Suspension, heat treated, CNC wound and factory tested front coil springs, performance graphite upper and lower control arm bushings, and bumpstops -- engineered to give superior performance, strut rod bushings, upper and lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rod ends, tie rod adjusting sleeves, and idler arm. Sway bar bushings and end link. Flaming River Chrome Tilt Column.

- T5 5 Speed Transmission with Overdrive, new clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing. Third member was replaced with a fresh rebuilt 3.36:1 gear change to taller gears and the car cruises nicely at 80 to 85 down the highway.

- The underbody of this car remains in great drivers condition free of corrosion. The rear ends 3rd member was detail painted before installation, as well as the T5 Five Speed Transmission. All suspension components were power coated or baked enameled.

 This car is one of the best condition cars I've owned or restored. Money was not an issue when resto-modifying this 1955 but not its time for change. I was looking to trade this car for a resto-mod 1930s streetrod of the same or greater value of $30,000. Preferably a 1933 or 1934 Ford. Come drive this car and you'll be amazed at how great this restoration was completed. I can also take this to ANY mechanic you want to inspect this vehicle because I know you can drive this anywhere in the country without fear. Shipping is easy from San Diego area.

 Here is a YOU TUBE video of the car.

You can also contact me for additional pictures. I have more of the undercarriage so you can see how clean and detailed the work is under the car.

Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs

Thu, 03 Jan 2013

General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
