Looks as if it came right out of the showroom. Real head turner at the Detroit dream cruise."

I found this vehicle in an old barn in northern Saskatchewan where it was used as a farm truck. There was no rust on the vehicle when I got it, although the box was in really rough shape.  The truck is a 1 ton (9 foot box) 1946 GMC, built in Oshawa, Ontario.  It went through a complete frame-off restoration over the last 10 years. The 216 cu in engine was totally rebuilt professionally, as was all the body work and painting.  The paint colors are original for 1946 GMC.  All rubber is new and all components are either new or rebuilt.  The frame and springs were in such good condition, they still had their parts numbers on them.  The rear axle and the 4 speed transmission were running fine, so new reworks were required.  Engine and cab numbers match.


The vehicle has a top speed of about 43 MPH and rides incredibly smooth considering it's vintage.   This is "an original type " vehicle- the only thing that has been changed from its original state is the conversion from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system. I also added turn signals to make driving a lot easier . The rear fenders on the box look as new; however they are fiberglass since I was unable to locate original replacements.  Spare tire and wheel assembly will be included.

I have a copy of the original vehicle ownership, shop manual, vehicle operating manual, and sales brochure.   

This is in "like new" condition and could be on display in any showroom .  Took it to the Woodward Dream cruise in Detroit and got thumbs up from all!

I love this vehicle, but need to sell, due to moving.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out

Thu, 29 Apr 2010

Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum

Fri, 02 May 2014

Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
