One of the most important things to know about this restoration is that it is done on an original V-8 car. Most '57 2-door sedans were six-cylinder cars from the factory. If you inquire from most advertisers of 150 models, regardless of their being original or modified cars, you will find that the car started life as a six-cylinder. Another factor of this 150 is that it was also a surf green car from the factory. Now for the restoration.

It is a rotisserie restored car. Stripped and repainted to surf green and white. The floor pans had some rust, so I replaced the entire floor from firewall to rear bumper with a one-piece 'All Steel' floor. The interior is a C.A.R.S. replacement original. The interior, dash, column, and steering wheel are factory correct. All '57 150 models had the same interior colors. The dashes were black regardless of body color. All rubber, wiring, glass and chrome are new. Stainless is polished to show quality condition. I consider the car to have only two options: the two-four motor and electric wipers. All other items have delete plates.

The engine and heads were rebuilt. The engine block is stamped correctly as a 283 cubic inch, 270 HP motor. The block, heads, and intake are all 1957 components. The two carburetors were rebuilt and correctly colored by Bob Kuntz. The bat-wing air cleaner is correct, and the 3-speed and rear end were rebuilt. The exhaust system is aluminized, is '57 correct, and was purchased from Shafer's Classics in Tampa, FL. The tires are black-wall radials and are the correct size. The steel wheels are '57 correct. They are 14-inch solid wheels, meaning no dust slots.

This 150 is correctly restored using correct nuts, bolts, body mounts and clips. The '57 runs and drives very well but as of this ad, the restoration has only two miles on the odometer.

I have restored over twenty-five 1957 Chevrolets - sedans and hardtops, but mostly convertibles. All were body-off cars. Usually I will keep one for a little while, sell it, and look for another to restore. I enjoy the search for the cars, the teardown and the reassembly. Unfortunately, I can't keep them all. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to pull the listing at any time.

Good luck in your bidding.

Chevy Malibu will become 45-mpg strong hybrid with next update

Wed, Mar 25 2015

Come next year there'll be no more mild hybrid pretensions for the Chevrolet Malibu - the next-generation sedan will borrow technology from the 2016 Volt and get a proper hybrid powertrain. A 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine gets help from a two-motor drive unit adapted from the Volt for 182 system horsepower, the motor drive powered by an 80-cell, 1.5-kWh lithium-ion battery. Chevrolet says that when combined with features like grille shutters and a lower ride height, it expects the Malibu Hybrid will post a combined fuel economy rating of more than 45 miles per gallon, which would best the hybrid trims of the Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry and Hyundai Sonata. Electric power alone can power the car up to 55 miles per hour, and The Bowtie's first use of exhaust gas heat recovery will help maintain high hybrid performance in cold weather and be used to heat the engine and cabin. The Malibu Hybrid should go on sale in the Spring of next year, for now there's a press release below. Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid Derives Technology from Volt GM estimates combined fuel economy ratings to exceed 45 mpg DETROIT, 2015-03-25 – Chevrolet's recent production announcement of its all-electric vehicle based on the Bolt EV concept, as well as the introduction of the 2016 Chevrolet Volt, will be joined by a strong hybrid version of the next-generation Malibu. Using technology from the 2016 Chevrolet Volt propulsion system, Malibu Hybrid will offer an estimated combined fuel economy rating exceeding 45 mpg, higher than the combined mileage ratings of the Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry and Hyundai Sonata hybrid variants. "The 2016 Malibu Hybrid will offer impressive fuel economy, exceptional driving characteristics and gorgeous styling," said Jesse Ortega, Chevrolet Malibu chief engineer. "Besides leveraging innovation from the Chevrolet Volt, the Malibu Hybrid also has unique features that help improve aerodynamics, like upper and lower grille air shutters to improve airflow and a reduced ride height, all of which help reduce fuel consumption," Ortega said. An all-new direct-injection 1.8L 4-cylinder engine mated to a two-motor drive unit slightly modified from the 2016 Chevrolet Volt drive unit powers the Malibu Hybrid. The drive unit provides additional power to assist the engine during acceleration, for 182 horsepower (136 kW) of total system power.

Jay Leno joins the dark side with Darth Vader's car

Mon, Dec 14 2015

There still isn't a better Star Wars villain than Darth Vader. The Sith Lord defines menacing with his black suit, deep voice, and a penchant for choking underlings. Maybe The Force Awakens can introduce a better bad guy when the film hits theaters in the coming days, but Vader remains king until then. Jay Leno now shows some respect for the dark side of the force by welcoming Darth's car into his garage. This isn't just the tiny Hot Wheels toy, but the fully drivable version that premiered last year at San Diego Comic-Con. The car's design clearly evokes Vader's iconic helmet, but it still looks like a mean hot rod. Designer Bryan Benedict also shows Leno a few other Star Wars touches in the styling, like the light saber side pipes and Imperial logos on the wheels. One of the coolest features is that the roof rises out of the way to let in passengers, which is a small nod to a scene from The Empire Strikes Back. Underneath the Vader-inspired shape, the car uses a heavily modified C6 Chevrolet Corvette platform, and Jay gets to take it for a short drive. Leno even leans into the dark side with some maniacal laughter while behind the wheel. Related Video:

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
