This beautiful '55 Chevy has been in the same family since the car was purchased new. My Great Aunt and Uncle purchased this car new from Bates Chevrolet in the Bronx, N.Y. on December 30th, 1954. They then gave the car to my Father in 1974. He used it until 1978 when he "retired" the car and put it into his garage on Long Island. There it stayed until 1987 when he gave it to me. I kept the car garaged and got it back to good running condition in the mid-1990's. In 2006 I was finally able to get the exterior of the car done properly. Exterior work was completed in 2009.

Exterior paints are Chevrolet Silver and Corvette Blue. All of the major chrome was also redone and is in great shape. We also added left and right side mirrors for safety. All lights and signals work fine. We even left the "Bates" badge on the trunk.

The straight 6 engine is almost completely original and runs beautifully. Only 97,200 original miles! It has the always fun to drive 3-speed on the column. Transmission was replaced in 2006, new hoses and generator just last year. The gas gauge is not working right now.

The interior is also completely original, right down to the upholstery. Yes, it could use some love at this point. A nice opportunity to redo the interior to your liking. Air controls and cigarette lighter work fine. Horn ring is missing (cracked and broke in the 90's) and the radio makes noise but does not play. The right rear window has a hairline crack in it.

Fortunately, I have a lot of documentation for this car. I have the original purchase agreement, the bill of sale, the owner service policy, and something called "Car Papers" where my great Uncle kept track of gas usage, oil changes, and general maintenance. I even have the original key.

I hate to let this car go, but a recent move has made it a necessity. It's a real eye catcher and tons of fun to drive.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
