2009 Chevrolet Custom Explorer Van With 6 Captains Chairs With Heat And Massage on 2040-cars

Year:2009 Mileage:63269
Location:

I custom ordered this van (and picked it up) at the Explorer factory in Warsaw, Indiana.  It is the All Wheel Drive model that is great in snow and even gives you more confidence in rain.  One of the biggest things that I had Explorer change was to put all captains chairs with heat and massage.  The rear bench seat that 99% of vans have is not comfortable, rattles and is rarely folded flat.  The van has always been kept in a heated garage and had routine oil changes.  The paint is in great shape with not even a rock chip and leather is still supple.  Below is the list of notable options and features.  

-17" chrome wheels with street/all season tires
-17" machine finish wheels with snow tires
-Extra door and floor insulation for sound deadening than standard
-"Medallion Series" wrap around ground effects
-Leather Seating
-6 captains chairs with heat, power lumbar, power recline and massage
-Front 2 seats also have 6 way power adjustment
-Low roof that allows it to be parked in a standard garage and go into parking decks
-15" LCD Flip down TV with built in DVD player
-Sound for TV can come from speakers or wireless headphones
-Cooler to keep snacks and drinks on hand on a trip
-Factory XM Satellite Radio
-Backup sensors
-Hitch step
-Side air vents
-Stainless steel mesh grill
-Power sunroof with screen
-Front spoiler and driving lights
-Monochromatic door handles and mirrors
-2-way dome tweeters in door pods
-High intensity ceiling light panels
-Padded front door armrests
-Premium carpet
-Digital compass mirror
-Cloth shades on all rear windows
-Portable air compressor
-Universal game hook up
-Indirect lighting package
-Stabilitrak
-Chrome Exhaust
-Rear "helper springs" that keep van level when heavily loaded or pulling trailer
-Deep tinted glass
-Remote keyless entry

There are a lot more options/features on this van than I listed, but those are the biggest things.  If you have a question about anything on the van, please let me know.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
