1958 Chevrolet Cameo Carrier:
Production of these unique trucks ran from 1955 to 1958, with many collectors who believe the most desirable models are those from “58”, with only 1,405 assembled, and the only year produced with dual headlights. This stunning example has been preserved in its original condition in three personal collections since 1979. With only one repaint throughout its life, on untouched original body panels, the truck is finished in spectacular original two-tone red and white and highlighted by gleaming chrome and stainless trim. The exterior is complimented by a gorgeous red and silver interior with cloth/vinyl seat & door panel inserts. Equipped with the dependable 235 straight six engine, with only 78,400 original miles, and column shifted three speed manual transmission. The truck is equipped with a deluxe heater and original AM radio. The undercarraige has also been kept detailed as nice as the rest of the truck.
This truck is not to be mistaken for a frame off restoration, but rather a true survivor retaining all of the original body panels, all the exterior trim pieces , all glass, all electrical components including controls, wire harnesses and lights, nos shocks, original era "Bedford" 7.10 x 15 tires (spare being brand new), and 99% original nuts and bolts. The truck starts, runs, drives and looks just as it did the day it came off the assembly line, including the original chalk markings on the fire wall from the assembly line inspectors. This rare Cameo is by far one of the most original trucks you will ever see and will make a quite a statement in any museum or a personal collection. Seller reserves the right to end the auction early as the truck is being advertised locally.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have and I will get back to you as soon as time allows.

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After 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.
C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
