Hello. I am not an automobile dealer or collector. This was my father's 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air. He died several years ago and I have had it ever since. Although I keep it insured, I miht drive it 30 miles A YEAR. It has been in a few parades etc. -otherwise it has been under a tarp. I know very little about automobiles, but need to lay on cash. I have twin daughters that begin college in the fall. I have taken a number pictures and welcome and ncourage you to call or come by and take a look. I will be more than happy to answer any questions you have. I must point out that it is SOLD AS IS. PLEASE understand this. I will however answer all questions as best I can and you can have a mechanic come with you or whatever to insure you like what you get. I really do not know how to evaluate its value--but based on what I am seeing on Ebay, i think I have it priced right!. I do not know the engine size. If you know how to instruct me on determining the size, let me know. I do know my dad had a different engine put in it not long before he died. The car runs very smoothly, sounds fine, and has plenty of get up and go. All I have had to do to it is buy new batteries that have run down from lack of use. I do not know of any engine problems. It does not use a lot of water or oil. It does not appear to leak oil, but I know it has not had any new seal for several years. Don't know how that works. The brakes work OK--but they are old disc brakes and I do not like to drive it. I had it painted about 6 or 7 years ago. I had it painted the same colors it has always been. We called this car "ol' Blue". It has very little rust. I noticed a couple of "paint bubbles" on one door panel, but no visible rust. We do NOT live in an area where salt is used, so there is minimal rust to the undercarriage. There is no rust in the trunk. It has original chrome. There is some bent and dented chrome. There is rust on the fenders coming through the chrome. I would think they need rechroming. The interior is OK for a 50 year old car. There is no rips or tears. My father had new door panels put in a few years ago. I can remember it was quite expensive. The hardware is original and there is a lot of wear to chrome on door handles. The windows do work, but it is hard to raise and lower windows, especially on drivers side. The headliner is original and needs replacing. It does have a working heater, no AC-never had it. My father bought the seat belts, but they have never been installed. They are still in box in trunk. Tire rims are original, in good shape, but do have rust. The tires are not worn, but are probably close to dry rotting. They hold air, but I would not recommend driving on them. It would be advisable to have the car towed to new home and inspected before driving long distances. It has spare tire- i guess it is original too. No antenna or working radio-still has orginal radio in dash. The glass is not broken- good windows and windshields. I have no idea how many miles the new engine actually has- I do not know if my Dad put in a rebuilt engine or what--I am not a mechanic. i do not know what size it is. It uses regular gas. The seals on the doors are pretty bad--dry rotted. Floor boards are good. Overall this car is not bad to be an old classic. I truly hate to sell it and would not if i did not need the money. I want you to be happy with it, but again sold AS IS. I am not going to predict what a 50 year old car will do. If you would like to make an appointment to look at it or if you have questions please call me at 334-237-0110. I am on central time--please do not call after 8 o'clock. It will be your responsibility to move the vehicle. Although it drives now-I would be very leasry about driving it home. The tires are old and the car has not been on a long drive in years.

Chevy Bolt EV, Chrysler Pacifica, Honda Ridgeline take 2017 NACTOY prizes
Mon, Jan 9 2017Every year the 2017 North American International Auto Show kicks off with the North American Car of the Year Awards. We say "awards" after all those mentions of our home continent because it's not just cars. This year, in fact, the awards spread out to three separate honors: Car, Truck, and Utility. And without further ado, here are the winners. The 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV is the Car of the Year, the Honda Ridgeline is the Truck of the Year, and the Chrysler Pacifica is the Utility of the Year. Honda's win is perhaps the biggest surprise, upsetting favorite the Ford F Super Duty for the win. The second-generation Ridgeline rides on a unibody platform and is offered in front- or all-wheel-drive, which is unconventional for a pickup. But the layout also offers a cargo bed with an in-floor trunk and solid fuel economy figures of 19 city, 26 highway in its most-efficient form. The Chevy Bolt EV, however, was probably the easiest winner to predict. Its 238-mile range and sub-$30,000 starting price after tax credits make it a breakthrough in the landscape of electric vehicles. With the Chrysler Pacifica available in a plug-in hybrid form, this year's award illustrates the industry's shift towards efficiency and electrification. And with Ford's recent announcement on future EVs, it might not be long will it be until we see a hybrid truck on the award stage as well.Related Video:
GM files for Z71 Trail Boss trademark
Mon, Jan 26 2015Try as they might to keep their plans a secret, automakers have their hands tipped through a variety of methods – be they through loose lips, spy shots or patent and trademark applications. That's how we know, in this instance, that General Motors is working on (or at least considering) an off-road machine wearing the name Z71 Trail Boss – the name which our compatriots at AutoGuide.com tell us that GM has registered for use on light-duty trucks. Now if that alphanumeric designator sounds familiar, it should. GM has long used it to designate the off-road packages on many of its body-on-frame trucks from Chevy and GMC. These days you can order a Z71 package on the Chevy Colorado, Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban and on the GMC Canyon, Sierra and Yukon. The package typically includes components like a beefed-up suspension bits, high-capacity air cleaner and underbody protection plates. The Trail Boss designator would seem to suggest something further reaching than a suspension package, though. Just what it would entail we don't know; minds immediately start running toward Chevy or GMC going after the Ford F-150 Raptor, but we'll likely be looking at something closer to the Trailhawk packages Jeep offers on the likes of the Renegade and Cherokee.

2015 Chevy Volt will be available with 4G LTE
Tue, Jan 14 2014General Motors teased consumers two years ago when it showed off a Chevrolet Volt decked out with 4G LTE connectivity. More details were finally unveiled this month at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas: the 2015 Chevy Volt will have a 4G LTE option and will offer consumers an as-yet-unpriced option with much faster wireless internet connection and more smartphone apps. GM's OnStar has teamed up with AT&T to come up with several mobile apps alongside the roadside assistance. The Volt joins the 2015 Corvette, Impala and Malibuz models that will debut with a 4G LTE option this year. The first four 4G ChevroLTE models will be released this summer and will be joined by the Spark (EV and gas versions), Equinox, Silverado and Silverado HD. GM has yet to announce whether any Cadillac or Buick models will get the 4G option. Chevrolet Accelerates to 4G LTE Speeds in 2014 Bowtie brand models in U.S. and Canada to get OnStar 4G LTE by summer LAS VEGAS – Starting this summer, Chevrolet will have some of the fastest vehicles on the roads, and that has nothing to do with horsepower. Chevrolet drivers will be enjoying high-speed data - made possible by a new OnStar 4G LTE connection in the vehicle, running on AT&T's network, the nation's fastest and most reliable 4G LTE network. Chevrolet today announced at the Consumer Electronics Show that the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette, Impala, Malibu, and Volt would be the first General Motors' vehicles to come optionally equipped with OnStar 4G LTE. They will be followed by the Equinox, Silverado, Silverado HD, Spark and Spark EV. In the Canadian market, OnStar with 4G LTE will be introduced on the Chevrolet Trax as well. The majority of the 2015 Chevrolet lineup in the U.S and Canada will have a 4G LTE connection built-in at vehicle launch. More models will be announced later this year. "Chevrolet is expected to implement the broadest deployment of 4G LTE in the automotive industry," said Alan Batey, senior vice president of Global Chevrolet. "The fact that OnStar with 4G LTE will be available in models that range from the Chevrolet Spark to the Silverado to the Corvette, is indicative of our broad commitment to deliver more value and convenience through smart technology applications.
