LOS ANGELES BUILT CALIFORNIA CAR!

Up for sale is a rare 1956 Chevrolet Nomad Bel Air 2 Door Wagon. This Nomad is an LA built California wagon that has never left California, so not a big rust bucket like most that haven't had been all patched up. The floors are solid! The car has a straight body as seen in pics. The car does have some rust issues in the bottom rocker of passenger side, but they do make new rocker patch panels that can be installed easily. The spare tire well is nice except for a little rust as seen in pic. There is also some bubbling on tail gate and next to rain gutter, a little at bottom of A pillar and driver door jam all as seen in pics so nothing hiding. The car was painted a long time ago and looks ok for a driver as is but should be redone to be right. It looks like someone punched a little hole too high when putting back on stainless as seen in pic. The chrome and stainless on the car is very nice inside and out. All of the glass is nice but does have a weird separation cracking on corner of back glass that is in between the glass panes as seen in pics. I was told the running gear is all original and that the carb and intake have been changed at some point to a 4bbl. The engine fires right up and run good! The transmission has a leak from the passenger side that is bad so I would recommend towing the car or if driven only at low speeds not far since the trans fluid will leak onto hot exhaust and cause it to smoke off the hot pipe. I'm sure it's an easy fix since it's a gasket that went bad but haven't had time to deal with it. The power brakes work great! The car has newer exhaust but the passenger side heat riser has an exhaust leak. The radiator has some what looks like jb weld around neck and you will see some bubbles of water when it warms up but the car has a temp gauge and runs very cool at 180. All the lights and blinkers work, new stereo works and has a remote. There is hidden speakers in the back in KFC picnic baskets. The interior is in great condition and has been redone in the last 5 years and still looks great, headliner is great too along with the chrome ribs. The car has A/C but needs a recharge. I know it kind of looks like im putting down the car but im just trying to be very honest about everything I know about the car. I bought it as is so I can only tell you what I know by what I see. I bought the car from the son of the owner who passed away some time ago and really didn't know much either. I bought the car with the intention to do a full pro touring restomod build but with other projects and lack of space I don't see that happening anytime soon.. As you can see the car is not perfect but my low starting price with no reserve reflects that and not one of a car that someone wanting $50k plus for. I am willing to entertain offers over my starting price if you feel you must have the car asap and not wanting to wait for the auction to end but would really like to make a fair auction for everyone so it would have to be a pretty nice offer. Bellow are all of the nice big pictures for you to view. If you have any questions about anything please feel free to contact me through ebay email or by the number below. The car is available for viewing by appointment only. Now let's have an auction!! Good luck!!

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]

Mon, 27 May 2013

If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.

Before Chevrolet's Redline, there was the Saturn Red Line

Thu, Feb 9 2017

While Chevy rolls out Redline special editions across more of the lineup at this year's Chicago Auto Show, we've been eating some 'member berries and started thinking about the last time GM used the term. Back in 2004, Saturn rolled out Red Line (two words) editions of the Ion and Vue. The lineup was joined by the Sky Red Line in 2007, and the second-generation Vue kept the tradition going in 2008. This was in the heady days of the mid-2000s, before the financial crisis and GM's bankruptcy reorganization that saw the end of Saturn. The press release headline for the 2008 Sky is now cringe-worthy: "Hot-selling Sky helps drive Saturn product renaissance." Performance lineups were the hot new thing, as automakers attempted to cash in on the tuner trend popularized by The Fast and the Furious. Chevy had SS models, Pontiac had GXP, and Saturn had Red Line. Across the Detroit Metro area, Dodge had a slew of SRT models, and Ford's Special Vehicle Team brought us the SVT Lightning pickup, the SVT Focus, and a smattering of hopped-up Mustangs. The performance cred of Red Line models varied from car to car. The Ion Red Line shared the same engine as the original Chevy Cobalt SS, a 205-horsepower supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, 65 hp more than stock. Car and Driver tested one with a 0-to-60-mph time of 6.1 seconds and said the Ion "tears down the wall that has separated enthusiasts from the Saturn brand for so long." The Vue Red Line, meanwhile, came with the same optional Honda-sourced 3.5-liter V6 you could get in the regular Vue, and added a stiffer, lower suspension, bigger wheels with more aggressive rubber, and recalibrated steering assist. When the Vue was redesigned for the 2008 model year, the Vue Red Line was a similar proposition. The engine was now from GM, and up 7 horsepower to 257, but you could get it in both Red Line and XE trim. Aside from the tire and suspension upgrades, Red Line models now came with a unique front fascia and rear exhaust cutouts. The most exciting Red Line, of course, was the high-performance version of the Sky roadster, which shared underpinnings with its Pontiac Solstice twin. This model came with GM's hot 2.0-liter Ecotec Turbo, good for 260 horsepower. The extra power was crucial in covering up the Sky's unfortunate manual gearbox ratios, which left the non-turbo model aching for torque in lower gears. As we all know, Saturn was taken by the grim reaper in 2009 after an attempt to sell the brand to the Penske Group.

This is how GM is hiding new Chevy Volt in public

Wed, Oct 1 2014

General Motors is letting the public know that, well, it's not about to let the public know anything else about the next-generation Chevrolet Volt. But the automaker is willing to talk about its camouflaging process for upcoming versions of the extended-range plug-in. So it's a half-hearted secret, at best. GM actually has a "camouflage engineer" charged with creating ways to disguise the styling of new vehicles. In the Volt's case, the company is applying black and white swirly color patterns on top of the materials, such as plastics, vinyl and foam, that are used liberally across the body. It's all part of a teaser campaign that started last month with pictures of part the 2016 Volt. Earlier this month, GM said it was keeping track of Volt drivers' habits as it works on the next-gen model. The company noted that more than four out of five trips are being made in all-electric driving mode, and that 60 percent of Volt owners use a plain-old 100-volt outlet to recharge their cars. The car is slated to make its global debut at Detroit's North American International Auto Show next January, and the early word is that performance and all-electric range will be improved (we should hope so). The car will also be sleeker. By how much, we can't tell yet, because of those darn swirly patterns. GM's got more non-details in its press release below. Engineers charged with hiding styling while vehicle testing proceeds in public DETROIT – The styling of the next-generation Chevrolet Volt is one of the automotive world's best-kept secrets. Keeping customers and media eager to see the successor to the groundbreaking original at bay until the new Volt debuts at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January is tricky business. First, it is engineers, not designers, who are charged with creating camouflage that balances styling secrecy with the need to validate the Volt and its systems in public. "If it were up to me it would be a shoebox driving down the road," said Lionel Perkins, GM camouflage engineer. "The design team wants us to cover more of the vehicle and the engineering team needs to have enough of the vehicle's weight and aero exposed so that the tests in the development process are consistent with the product that will come to market." The engineers responsible for the "cool" designs covering the car might deserve style points but their efforts are intended strictly to hide the metal beneath.
