I purchased this vehicle in Iowa ( 1988 ) from a company that obtained it after the original owners had passed away. They knew the family and the history of the car. I drove it home to Wisconsin and it ran perfectly. It has been stored since in a dry environment in mothballs to keep the mice away. This car is completely original, nothing has been changed or modified . A survivor with nothing sprayed or gooped on to mask the true condition. The interior is very nice, all gauges function except fuel ,needle goes from empty to full when the key is turned. The horn, lights, wipers all work , even the radio. The heater controls function as do the turn signals. The clock is only correct twice a day. The fabric is not worn and in excellent condition, carpeting has some minor stains and some spots on the headliner, but overall very nice. All the rubber weatherstrip is soft and intact. At some point wax was applied to the steering wheel and has yellowed. The wheel has no cracks or chips and I did not try and remove the wax because I do not want to harm the plastic. It is not as bad as it sounds. The brite-work and stainless is very clean and straight, no pitting or scrapes. The chrome bumpers are very good except for one spot on the rear bumper below the license plate, looks like someone hit it with a hammer. Very clean chrome with no corrosion. The lenses, badges and emblems are clear , the Impala badge on the passenger side has a screw in it, can't figure out why someone would do that. All the glass is blemish free, no fogging or cracks anywhere and no pits or scratches. The windows roll up and down smoothly and the doors close like a bank vault, no sagging hinges. What would you expect from an original car with less than 30 thousand miles, check the oil change sticker on the door and the odometer photo. This Chevy is painted in GM lacquer and still shines with only a few scratches around the body. The body does have a few small dings/dents but none serious or bigger than a dime/quarter, again look at the pictures. All the panels are straight and I can't emphasize enough how rust free this car is. I pulled up the trunk mat to see what hidden surprises were under it, nothing but solid sheet metal with no rust. The underside was not sprayed with undercoating so all you see is metal painted black. In the spots where the paint is degraded there is only factory red primer.The frame is also clean. This car has no body rust and the bottoms of the door are exceptional. The engine fires right up, but the generator light remains lit. Car has manual brakes and no power steering. I believe the tires are original and hold air but the sidewalls have cracks.. Surface rust in the engine bay only, very light. The 283 has not been repainted. Overall, very good car with a realistic reserve , nothing crazy here. Probably one of the nicest all original 59's you will ever see.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
