I'm selling a beautiful 1959 Chevrolet Brookwood 2 door station wagon project car. I've been restoring this car for the last 4 months but am unable to continue doing any more because we will be relocating. I know I will regret selling this car because it's very rare and just so cool. There is so much potential with this car, it's unbelievable. There were only a couple thousand made. This was a Missouri car. It has a beautiful running 350 Chevy engine and automatic transmission out of a Nova. Not everything is hooked up. It has brand new dual exhaust with glass packs. It has a very nice set of Cooper radial tires (not new) but with plenty of tread. Excellent set of Cragar SS wheels. The rear end of the car needs to be rebuilt (but rolls)--I have another rear end out of another Brookwood for it that should be good--however, I was going to put a limited slip rear end in it but never got around to it. There is no drive shaft for it. The brakes need to be done. The shocks are bad. A lot of people end up putting airbag suspensions in these cars. I'm sure the front end is going to have to be gone through. Frame is excellent--straight and rust free. All the wiring will have to be hooked up. The body is 99% rust free. Has brand new back lower quarter panels (a prior owner cut the original panels out--not because of rust--but to make room for fat tires.) I put in all new floor pans. I have all the glass for it except for the rear passenger window. The glass is not perfect but decent. The seats are ok but should probably be reupholstered. Needs a headliner and interior door panels. The car is just in primer and it looks pretty cool just as it is, however, it is not totally ready for a fresh paint job. I pretty much have everything for it--missing one chrome strip for the front fender and the other one is dented. The rest of the chrome is decent--needs to be polished. Just keep in mind this is a project car and there is still plenty to do on it. There is no title. Have a VIN tag and can provide a bill of sale. Any questions please call Rob (218) 269-7592

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
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.
