I am selling this car for the family of the recently deceased owner, who was a friend of mine. The car has been in his family since it was new. His brother bought the car new in Bonham, Texas and then traded it in for a new '52 when those came out. My deceased friend David learned that his brother had traded the car in to the dealer, and promptly bought it back from the dealer in 1952 and kept it until his passing about three months ago. He restored the car about 20 years ago, so it might be called an older restoration. At that time it received new paint, an engine overhaul, and the correct LeBaron-Bonney interior upholstery. It has been garaged since then and driven mainly in parades and antique car club functions. Since his death, the car has not been moved or started, so it may require a battery charge or a new battery and some fresh gas--possibly draining the tank of the old gas, but it ran well when I took these photos last fall. The car has rarely ventured very far from Bonham, Texas and that is where it is located now (northeast of Dallas near Oklahoma border). I will make sure it runs and can be driven onto a trailer or transport truck before it leaves here. The license plate is current and you might be able to drive it home, but I do not know the age of the fan belt, hoses, and tires.

It is equipped with a six-cylinder engine (the original one, as far as I know), three-speed manual shift transmission on the steering column, fender skirts, an after-market split exhaust manifold, and after-market dual exhausts radio, and clock. It still has the six-volt electrical system. There is no rust in the trunk floor nor the interior floors. It has been a northeast Texas car since new, so never any road salt exposure. The only body filler that I know of is some in the lower rear corner of the passenger door, due to a dent there long ago. Consequently, that corner sticks out about an eighth to a 16th of an inch when the door is fully closed. All other body lines and seams line up well, and the doors, hood, and trunk lid close and open easily. The car does not overheat in parades and does not smoke excessively out the exhaust. I have known the car for 22 years and in that time it has never been abused, never sat outside overnight, and rarely gone more than 20 or 30 miles from home.

If I owned the car, I would clean and repaint the engine in a proper gray color, and I would have the bumpers replated because they are a bit dull and not up to the quality and condition of the rest of the car, which is very nice.

I can recommend a car hauling firm in Dallas, if need be, but you need to get your own quotes for hauling it. There is a fair reserve price on the car--please do not ask what it is, as that gives some bidders unfair advantage over others. I expect a $500 deposit from the winning bidder within 48 hours of the auction's conclusion, and full payment within 10 days of auction's conclusion. Failure to comply with EITHER one of these conditions will result in default and the car will then be offered to the runner up bidder. The car can stay where it is for another 30 days, but after that, you need to make other arrangements or pay the owners for storage. Title is free and clear. I will try to answer all questions, but the person who knew the car best is gone now. It was his "baby" and he took very good care of it as long as his health held up. If you live nearby and want to see it in person, contact me by email and I will make arrangements or give you the widow's phone # to make arrangements with her. Car is in a locked garage about 4 miles north of Bonham, Texas 75418. I do have a pickup truck and open trailer, so there is a possibility that I could deliver it for my expenses, provided the car is paid in full first.

Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible

Mon, Dec 8 2014

The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.

How Chevy used popular Instagram user to promote 2016 Volt

Thu, Feb 26 2015

A picture is worth a thousand words. When it comes to Chevrolet and its Volt extended-range plug-in, the automaker is hoping pictures can be turned into a few more buyers. The company extended a little love to one popular social-media practitioner to see if the trick works. Former biochemical engineer Kevin Lu started his Instagram account a couple of years ago during a road trip, and the quality of his shots has attracted about 181,000 followers. With that popularity in mind, Chevy brought Lu up to Detroit to check out the unveiling of the next-generation Volt at the Detroit Auto Show last month. Lu also got to see the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly factory where the Volt is built, Automotive News reports. As for the next-gen Volt, Chevy says a more efficient powertrain and lighter battery help give the car an all-electric range of up to 50 miles and a total driving distance of more than 400 miles. Chevy also touts the model's streamlined grille and (tight) seating for three in the rear. General Motors hopes a combination of those improvements and exposure from sources such as Lu and his Instagram account (and some sleepy ads, apparently) revitalize sales of the model. Last year, Volt sales fell 19 percent to 18,805 units.
