1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop with 283 V-8, Powerglide Automatic Transmission, Power Steering, and the most beautiful black paint you ever saw!

.

A tremendously beautiful car - that black paint is stunning, accented by the correct and authentic red interior.

.

My Favorite part of the '57 Chevy Styling is the rear quarter panel trim - so flashy, so Fifties, and on this car, so beautiful!

.

Arrow Straight bodywork too.

.

Beautiful grille emblem, and I love the Gold Anodyzed trim, just like it was when it left the factory.

.

Beautiful Chrome!

.

Wow! Look at that interior! Correct colors and fabrics, and a spectacular dashboard

.

Look how nice the doorjamb is, and the fresh weatherstripping.

.

Beautiful Dashboard

.

More beautiful Dashboard

.

Excellent door jamb right side.

.

The Brilliance of the Hardtop design, with no post to interfere with your view, is evident here.

.

Wow! Beautiful and correct.

283 V-8, nicely restored and finished like it would have been at the factory, with correct air cleaner and 4 barrel carburetor. I don't guarantee matching numbers, although the engine stamp ( T123F) is correct for a '57 283 with 2 barrel.

.

Nicely finished engine bay.

.

Pretty engine. I noted That, although the hood hinges were restored, the springs are a bit weak, and the hood needs an assist to stay open.

.

Clean!

.

Trim Tag.

.

Nice Clean and correct trunk area. The trunk pan sheetmetal is Solid and rust free, too.

.

Nicely finished trunk lid

.

Jack included

.

Also included are a nice pair of fenderskirts and a car cover

.

Here's the right side, showing off all that beautiful sheetmetal

.

OK now that we have a nice clean Epoxy Floor, I can get these photos without ruining my shirt! New Gas tank and exhaust system. It's fairly clean underneath, although it is quite obviously not a frame-off restoration effort, rather a high quality frame-on restoration.

.

Rockers and floors look nice, solid and original.

.

Here's the other side, looking good

.

The engine oil pan, aluminized exhaust, and steering apparatus

.

Although the trim is beautiful, I noted some flaws / dings in the stainless trim here and there, you can see an example in this photo on the lower stainless trim.

.

Again, beautiful trim but not perfect trim.

.

The chrome was all redone, but I noted a few scratches in the back bumper. Hard to see in the photo but they're there.

.

It's a spectacular car, with great colors, and an excellent driving experience. It runs and drives great, and can be enjoyed and admired by everyone right now!

Chevy working on production Impala Midnight Edition

Sat, Dec 13 2014

To put together the Impala Blackout concept for SEMA, Chevrolet didn't need to go much further than its accessories catalog. The in-house connection is what could make it possible for Chevy to get a production version of the Blackout into dealers this model year, with its few bits of chrome trim and dark detailing on the 19-inch aluminum wheels set into an abyss of gloss black paint, black Bowtie, grille surround, rear spoiler and mirror caps. The interior is black leather, with stainless steel for the sill plates and pedals, and an 11-speaker Bose audio system, and it gets the optional 305-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6. The brand's marketing director for cars and crossovers, Steve Majoros, told Edmunds that it could come in late spring, and that it will be called "Midnight Edition." Majoros didn't give any indication of pricing or if the production car will be spec'd out like the concept. If you simply don't want to wait for late spring, you could work your DIY mojo by putting one together the same way Chevrolet did: give the accessories catalog a workout. Related Video:

2015 Chevrolet Trax

Thu, Dec 4 2014

After the obligatory product presentation for the 2015 Trax, I caught up with Steve Majoros, Chevrolet's director of marketing for crossovers and cars, and asked him to elaborate on which markets his planners believe will be the hot starters for this tiny CUV. Without much hesitation, Majoros began to click off traditional sales havens for Subaru, namely, New England and the snowy bits of the East Coast, Colorado and the Pacific Northwest. That news might not surprise you, but it did me. Perhaps it's something as basic as the Trax's tall-hatchback looks, or the emphasis Chevrolet put on the urban driving cycle during my test in San Diego. But before my chat with Majoros, I'd considered this a crossover pointed at the Millennial city mouse more than his bumpkin cousin. But a closer look had me re-examining the granola cred of Chevy's smallest crossover. Having spent my fair share of time in New England and around New Englanders, I started by mentally listing the Trax's Subaru-like traits: practicality, thrift, all-weather ability and, well, just a dash of ugliness. (I suppose a hatchback needn't always be ugly to sell in Maine, or Boulder or Portland... but a 'distinctive' face doesn't seem to hurt.) After a day of driving through sunny San Diego and its surroundings, I can say that Trax makes an interesting case for itself against the standard bearers of the L.L. Bean set, but I'm less sure of its argument for young urbanites. The Trax looks a lot like an Equinox whose suit shrunk in the wash. Chevy's has downsized its own, rather conservative crossover styling to fit the proportions of the subcompact Trax; to my eyes, it looks a lot like an Equinox whose suit shrunk in the wash. That's fine for offering a cohesive look for the Chevy family of crossovers, but it seems out of step with the rest of the segment. If the Trax's current competitive set were the cast of a high school-based TV show, the Kia Soul would play the lovable nerd, the Nissan Juke perhaps the outsider musician and the Subaru XV Crosstrek the athletic outdoorsy kid. Chevy may see the Trax as the hipster chick wearing intentionally ironic mom jeans, but to me the styling is a little too on the nose; more like an actual grownup trying to hang with the kids. These mom jeans are genuine. Per my earlier point, that quasi-conservative look may be just fast enough for staid New Englanders, but I have a hard time seeing the bluff, big-Bowtied front end playing in Bushwick or Wicker Park.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
