Wow, this is the perfect barn find.  It is a 1935 Chevy pickup that was owned by one family since 1938!  Made in March 1935 at the Oakland plant the truck has been in Novato CA since 1938.  I have a copy of the original 1938 title, as well as a lot of original manuals and sales brochures. The truck is all here and there is absolutely no rust.  The wood in the truck is perfect!  Even the bed wood is fantastic, no rot anywhere.  If the bed wood is not original it is at least 40 years old...but it well may be original.  The first photo shows the building that the truck was removed from, first time in daylight since the early 90's.  


I have not started the truck but it turns over and has great compression.  It needs the carb done and the points cleaned up. Wiring is all good and is in great shape.  The seat was removed because it was really mouse eaten.  I do have the original seats...so the frames are here.  they are still covered with the original material etc.   It looks to me like the gent who sold me the truck removed some of the original wood base...I'm going to see if I can get it from him... When the seats came out the wood and floor under it looked just as good as the rest of the wood.  Doors are solid and close perfectly. Driver's window is perfect and rolls up and down beautifully, windshield is cracked, passenger window is gone but the mechanism is there and works fine.  I have 7 original wire wheels and 5 tires all mounted on the truck.  I have ordered a radiator cap and the patterns to remake all the glass in the truck.  

I worked for a couple of hours on the drivers side of the truck with some wet sanding and then waxing and you can see the results in the pics.  The truck has a perfect patina.  it would be a shame to restore it but would be perfect for a sympathetic restoration and would look great in the survivor class on the lawn at Pebble beach!  No rear bumper I'm afraid.  the front and rear fender on the passenger side are beat up buy there and repairable. 

The exhaust is not original and there is no muffler in the system.  I took the air cleaner off and looked into the carb and forgot to put it back before the pics.  This truck is an amazing find.  The paperwork has all been done and I have a new CA title that makes it completely legal. 

The brakes are weak but they are functioning.  I hate to sell her but dont' have the time to put into bringing the truck back to life.

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs

Sun, 01 Dec 2013



The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
